Description
First released in 2010, CopyIt is the original and most feature‑rich grid drawing app. Trusted by artists, teachers, and students worldwide, CopyIt brings the centuries‑old grid drawing technique into the digital age, making it easier than ever to copy, enlarge, or reduce reference images with precision.
Why CopyIt?
The grid method, used by masters like Leonardo da Vinci, breaks images into manageable sections so you can focus on lines and shapes square by square. CopyIt eliminates the need to print and mark up photos, offering zoom, filters, and digital tools that enhance accuracy and detail. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist, CopyIt helps you achieve results with confidence.

What's New in Version 7.1
- New Feature: Perspective Grid. Toggle a perspective grid using a new button on the right toolbar. Choose between one, two or three-point perspective modes with adjustable vanishing points. Long-press the button to switch modes and access advanced controls via the Settings button (left toolbar).
- Ruler Updates: The ruler introduced in v7.0 has been improved. The imperial/metric measurement system is now selectable in the Settings button (left toolbar). The ruler now displays either Inches or MM, not both. This frees up space for additional helpful guides like the current ruler angle, its complement, current length and coordinates for the top left and right edges within the current grid system (Left, Top, Bottom, Right). Long-press the ruler to reset its rotation/position, enable/disable 15-degree snap and reset its size. A toggle option for ruler labels has also been added. If the ruler is resized too narrow to fit all the labels, the location labels will automatically hide.
- New Feature: A Tutorial button has been added to the right toolbar.
- Pencil Sketch Improvements: Temporarily auto-selects grid colour during Pencil Sketch, keeping the grid visible if it’s on.
- Tonal Strip Improvements: You can now choose from 6-13 tonal steps via the Settings Button (left toolbar). Each tonal step now also shows the percentage grayscale value.
- General Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements.
