Upload Template
For more advanced creation, users can upload image templates to trace and recreate complex artwork with precision. This feature is perfect for collaborative projects or detailed pixel art recreation.
Step 1: Access Template Upload
Locate the 🖼️ image button on the right side control panel. This button serves as both the upload trigger and template preview once an image is loaded.
Step 2: Select Your Template File
Click the 🖼️ button to open the file selector
Choose an image file from your device (supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF)
Wait for processing: The image will be automatically resized to fit the 25x25 pixel template size for optimal canvas overlay
Step 3: Position Your Template
Once uploaded, your template appears as a semi-transparent overlay on the canvas:
Drag to move: Touch and drag the template image to position it anywhere on the canvas
Visual preview: The template shows as a pixelated 25x25 grid overlay with adjustable opacity
Real-time positioning: Move the template around to find the perfect placement for your artwork
Step 4: Lock Template Position
To prevent accidental movement while working:
Click the lock button (🔒) that appears on the template
Locked state: The template becomes fixed in position and shows a lock icon
Unlock anytime: Click the lock button again (🔓) to unlock and reposition
Step 5: Adjust Template Settings
Fine-tune your template for optimal tracing:
Opacity slider: Use the vertical slider next to the 🖼️ button to adjust transparency (0-100%)
Lower opacity: Makes the template more subtle for gentle guidance
Higher opacity: Makes the template more visible for precise tracing
