Changelog

Search results for the homepage and plans page now name Free, Starter, and Maker, and the account page title says sign in.

A pale, low-contrast object on paper, such as a glue gun on a purple foam mat, now traces to the tool itself instead of one large outline around it.

Trace Assist keeps the photo you uploaded and detects from it, so a retry starts from that photo instead of cropping an image that was already cropped.

Turning one object in the 3D project no longer slides the other cutouts through the bin wall.

Buy 50 custom cutout downloads in a one-time Maker pack, listed next to Free and Starter on pricing.

Pricing and the plans page show Free, Starter (€4.99 for 10 downloads), and Maker (€19 for 50). Baseplates and basic bins stay free. For a volume or education price, email support from the line under the cards.

Your account shows remaining downloads and credit activity on one line, with one-click Starter (10 credits, €4.99) and Maker (50 credits, €19) top-ups. Pricing Details opens public pricing, invoices and a legacy Pro plan are managed from a quiet Billing link, and credit activity shows five grants at a time with older rows scrolling under a header that stays put.

Every new account starts with three project downloads, whether you stay free or buy a pack or Pro, and paid downloads add to those three. Existing accounts are unchanged.

Set A4, A5, or US Letter in your account so new traces use that size, and change it for any one project in the Detection tab.

Create free baseplate projects from the sidebar and open each one in a workbench with a 3D preview and a configuration panel. Downloads never use a project download, and the public guide generator stays as it is.

Create free Simple Bins projects from the sidebar and open each one in a workbench with a 3D preview and a configuration panel. Downloads never use a project download, and the public guide generator stays as it is.

Select a cutout in the 3D project and turn it with 90° buttons or a degree control. The orientation is saved on the object and used for the preview and the STL.

The Simple Bins workbench now uses the same tabbed configuration panel as baseplates and cutout projects: Layout and Options tabs, and only grid size, wall, lip, and magnets.

The signed-in app now uses a collapsible sidebar of your recent projects, newest first, with a Show more link when the list is long, a new-project button, and the account menu in the footer. A slash breadcrumb sits above the tracing and 3D workbenches, which sit on a dotted surface.

Tracemate has left free alpha. The editor and AI tools stay free with up to three projects, and downloads now come from a pay-as-you-go pack or a Pro subscription. Your first download on a project unlocks it for good, including unlimited re-downloads and publishing to the gallery.

Type a precise width and height in millimeters for any selected shape and the canvas updates live, with the drag handles and inputs always kept in sync.

Set a precise angle for any object with a 0 to 359 degree slider and an exact-degree input, synced with the on-canvas rotate handle so hitting 45 or 90 degrees is effortless.

Traced outlines are tighter and more accurate across the board, including dark objects photographed on dark tables where the edge used to disappear.

Objects with bold colors, like the bright yellow and red handles common on tools, are now traced completely instead of having those parts sliced off the outline.

Cast shadows and warm contact-shadow fringes are filtered out, so the outline follows the real object instead of ballooning around the shadow beside it.

A white sheet on a beige carpet or other low-contrast surface is now detected reliably, so the trace covers the full page instead of cropping to the object.

Hair-thin notches are smoothed into clean lines, neighboring objects stay separate, and every exported path is free of self-intersections, so what you trace is always printable.

Published bins now capture their preview from a clean three-quarter angle, so every share card and social preview looks polished no matter what view you were on.

A 3D toggle on the public bin page lets visitors rotate and zoom the model instead of seeing only the static image.

Downloading is smoother now that the extra success dialog is gone, taking you straight from model to file.

Resizing feels cleaner, with the size label repositioning itself so it never sits under the handle you are dragging.

Publishing a bin no longer fails unexpectedly, and the share panel now explains clearly if something does go wrong.

Reporting a shared bin as spam or abuse now requires signing in, closing a loophole that let scripts submit unlimited anonymous reports.

New bin publishes are capped per account to curb spam on public pages, while re-publishing a bin you already shared is unaffected.

Publish any bin to a clean public page with its own link, a share menu for Reddit, X, and Facebook, and a one-click STL download so anyone can print your design.

Trace several objects from a single photo and manage them in an object tree to add, rename, delete, restore, undo, and redo shapes as you work.

Detected objects now get a clear, descriptive name automatically so your projects are easier to find and recognize. You can turn this off anytime from your Profile.

If a photo just won't trace, send it to our team in one step and we'll trace the outline for you, then email you when your project is ready.

Outline detection now runs entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device, with no cloud credits needed and more accurate results on large or loosely shaped objects.

A flat, full-width layout puts the model preview, details, and download front and center, matching the rest of Tracemate's clean, square design.

Detection now ignores soft shadows and thin border slivers, so an object photographed on a desk is traced instead of the shadow beside it.

A new in-depth guide walks through how paper-based scaling works, what makes a good photo, and how to go from outline to printed bin, with a demo video.

Use the new magic-wand tracing tool to detect an object outline from your cropped paper image with cloud AI, monthly credits, and explicit privacy consent before processing.

Rotate paths, rectangles, and ellipses directly in the tracing step with a dedicated handle above the selected shape.

Start from any blank sheet of paper instead of printing a custom calibration template, making tracing easier to set up.

Choose A4, A5, or US Letter in the tracing sidebar so detection can use the correct dimensions for more accurate measurements.

Switch between sign-in and password recovery without losing the email address you already typed.

Improved detection for clear top-down photos where low-contrast A4 paper edges could previously be missed.

Remove individual detected objects directly from the object tree, with full undo and redo support if you need to bring them back.

Request a complete export of your personal data from the Account tab and receive a downloadable ZIP by email when it’s ready.

Resize rectangles and circles with behavior that feels closer to familiar design tools, including Shift to constrain rectangles to perfect squares and ovals back to perfect circles.

Scale polygon shapes more easily with a dashed bounding box, corner resize handles, and live dimensions while you adjust the overall shape.

Add points with Cmd/Ctrl-click on an edge and remove points with Cmd/Ctrl-click or Delete, making detailed path cleanup much quicker.

When objects overlap, the one you’re editing now stays on top so it’s easier to move and resize without obstruction.

Upload images with resumable transfers, automatic retry, live progress feedback, and client-side compression to reduce waiting time on slower connections.

Rectified images now load faster and use less storage thanks to high-quality JPEG output that keeps visual quality high while cutting file size significantly.

Fixed a small-screen header layout issue that could cause horizontal scrolling on mobile devices.

Fixed an issue where navigating back from 3D modeling would reset the tracing preview to the original upload. Now your rectified tracing image stays visible as expected.

Upload a photo of your object on our A4 calibration template. Tracemate automatically detects the template markers and corrects perspective distortion for accurate measurements.

Our computer vision automatically detects and traces object outlines from your photo. No manual drawing needed — just place your items and let Tracemate do the work.

Transform your traced outlines into fully parametric Gridfinity-compatible bins. Preview your design in real-time 3D before exporting.

Download your custom bin as an STL file, ready for any 3D printer. Compatible with all major slicers — just slice and print.
