Find any model you need to build in augmented reality. Free, fast, and ready to use and deploy.

What Is The Trace Library?

The Trace Library is the largest collection of free AR-ready 3D models anywhere on the internet.  These AR Models are free to use for anyone who has a Trace account.

Every model within the library is optimized for mobile and headset performance. This means that you can start creating right away in augmented reality. You can download the model, you can remix it, you can place it within the Trace AR app. No additional conversion, optimization, or editing is required. 

Within the library, there are many AR-ready file types. This includes PNGs like stickers, indicators, arrows, and more. It also includes 3D models like GLBs for decoration, displays, and many different use case subjects. 

We ensure that the models are in the ideal GLB format. This is the compact binary version of GLTF, which is widely adopted for web and augmented reality use. This will ensure fast loading times and consistent visuals across any device. 

In the library you'll find 3D icons, AR emojis, furniture, displays, and even museum-grade art, all ready to be dropped directly into your AR scenes.

Within the Trace Studio, you can also easily animate, remix, change materials, and even add interactions to these library objects in seconds. 

Our goal is simple. We want to make AR creation as accessible and straightforward as possible for everyone on Earth.
