Image Tracer Overlay
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Choose an image to create an overlay for tracing in your web-based drawing or sketching apps.
Image Tracer Overlay is designed to simplify the tracing process in web-based drawing apps or games. Tracing means transferring an image into line work from a photo or artwork. With this extension, you can upload an image, rotate, zoom, and reposition it for alignment.
Note: This tool does not include drawing functionality itself. It works as a visual overlay to assist in your drawing or tracing workflow.
Placement vs Tracing Mode:
When the menu is visible, the chosen image is in Placement Mode — this allows you to move, resize, and adjust the image's position and alignment. In this mode, you cannot draw through the image.
When you toggle the menu off (using the bottom-right button), your image enters Tracing Mode. This applies the placement settings and lets you draw or click through the image.
The image lock feature controls whether the image stays fixed relative to the page's scroll position or your viewport.

- Worked out of the box. Useing it for pixel art. NEEDS a text input for scale or a + by 1 + by 0.1 + by 0.01 Etc, close as I could get to the scale I needed is 1.17- 1.22 needed 1.19 to fit perfectly for tracing. still very good works as intended.

- Hey, great little app. a couple of pointers if i may 1. you can turn on the extension on the site but not off. the only way i found was to clear image . not always my favorite choice. 2. the lock picture doesn't really seem to do anything. only pressing the icon on the bottom allows me to work in the site over the image. 3. to get precise fine tuning of the rotation and size i would like to be able to enter the numbers myself and not only through the scroll bar. 4. this last one is a long shot. when i use the image as a reference to drawing i would love if it would scroll and zoom in conjunction with the site i am using to draw. hey but for a free online extension it works great. thanks

- 5 stars, The Extension does exactly as the name suggests, image overlay, no issues, only wish there were shortcuts to adjusting so I could adjust seamlessly, or and (x,y) positioning on screen options.

- This app is really useful for sketches in my case, but would it be possible to add an option to adjust the image's width and height independently, rather than just the scale?

- cannot click trough

- Really good interface design! Fun to use when playing games like Gartic Phone! Though right now it's unusable as the image lock button doesn't seem to work. As I try to draw a line under the image with my drawing tablet it just moves the image and doesn't draw a line.
