Contour helps you bring digital art to life. Whether you're an artist or not, you can create superb drawings like a pro: simply upload image files to your Quest using a MAC or PC, resize and place your artwork atop your real world canvas, and start drawing !
It uses the Quest 2 / Quest 3 cameras - aka passthrough - to overlay digital artwork on top of a real life surface to easily create outlines for your art before starting the actual paint job.
As passthrough can be quite blurry - especially on Quest 2 - Contour isn't meant for precise drawing or finishes, and is better suited for sketching and outlining relatively large artwork (e.g. wall painting, signage...) before starting the actual paint job.
To import your own artwork:
1. Create transparent PNG files, 1024 * 1024 (or above), with white outlines, using your preferred image editor.
2. Plug your headset into your computer using USB C and put your PNG files into the `Android/data/com.DDXR.Contour/files` folder. Mac OS users will need a free 3rd party software, such as Android File Transfer or SideQuest.
3. Restart the app, and you should see your files in the artwork menu.

I’ve loved using Contour for my VR drawing workflow, especially the ability to project and align reference images. Before the recent update, you could flicker the image on and off with the “A” button while in the “Adjust” menu—this was absolutely essential for perfect alignment. Now, that flicker function is only available in the “Draw” menu, where you can’t move the image.
Being able to flicker and move the image at the same time made it possible to compensate for the occasional image drift or software hiccup. Without that option, alignment is much harder and feels less precise. I really hope the flicker function returns to the “Adjust” menu—it made a huge difference. Still love the app overall, and I know it’s growing!
Well, worth the cost. It was so much fun to just pick an image and draw with sidewalk truck in the driveway. Nice innovated the app. I look forward to using it much more.
It's a little glitchy, I email myself png then download to meta, they changed the scale option to use your remotes moving them both with the trigger but it doesn't work. Useless
Having to jump through hoops to upload an image is insane. Should be able to upload from meta quest app on phone very disappointed in this
I gave it 5 stars so it be on top. This thing is a joke. It consistently moves When you’re tracing. The depth has no practical calibration to the actual surface you’re working on. Which makes the plane tilted no matter how hard you adjust. And when you adjust for one side the other is lifted. I’ve waisted time on this. A cheap projector is a better application for canvas than this. This is for children at best.
Hi I think you could add the phone picture upload function or add photos via Bluetooth or WiFi as I don't have a pc thanks yours sincerely James
