How many pages does the coloring book have?

Up to 10 coloring pages plus a cover with your title. The Printable coloring book plan includes 10 pages and the print-ready PDF.

Choose either in the book builder. Pages are fitted inside a 0.5 inch margin so home printers do not cut them off.

Can I print it at a copy shop?

Yes. Download the PDF to a USB stick or email it to the shop and ask for 100 percent scale on 20 lb or 24 lb paper. Heavier paper takes crayons and markers better.

Are the pages stored on your servers?

No. The pages live only in your browser until you export the PDF. Clearing your browser data removes them, so export the PDF to keep a copy.

Custom coloring book from photos

Ten of your own photos, turned into coloring pages and bound together with a cover that has a name on it. Print it at home, staple it, and give it away.

How to build the book

Make the pages. Turn up to ten photos into coloring pages on the home page. Use "Add to my coloring book" under each result.
Order them. Move pages up and down. Put the best photo first, because it appears on the cover too.
Write the cover title. Something like "Emma's Birthday Coloring Book" or "Grandma's Garden". The cover shows your title with a frame and a line for the owner's name.
Pick Letter or A4 and export. You get one PDF with the cover and every page, fitted inside a 0.5 inch margin.

Your pages are kept in your own browser and never uploaded to build the book, so export the PDF to keep a copy.

What it costs

The Printable coloring book plan is $9.99 one-time: 10 pages, a custom cover and the print-ready PDF. For comparison, custom coloring books on Etsy typically cost $15 to $40 and ship in days. Here you print it the same evening. If you only want loose pages, the 10-page pack is $4.99. No subscriptions either way.

Printing at home

Print at 100 percent on Letter or A4, single-sided so markers do not show through.
Staple the left edge or punch two holes and tie a ribbon.
For a sturdier cover, print the first page on cardstock.

Printing at a copy shop

Bring the PDF on a USB stick or email it. Ask for 100 percent scale, 24 lb paper for the pages and a card cover if you want it, then comb or spiral binding. A ten-page book usually costs a few dollars to print and bind.

Gift ideas

For grandparents: a book of the grandchildren and the dog, to color with them on a visit.
Birthday party favor: the birthday kid and each guest on a page, with a cover like "Leo's Dino Party".
Christmas stocking: a small book plus a box of crayons per child. It fits in a stocking and works any month of the year.
Class gift or field trip: photos of the class pet, the school and the trip spots. If students are recognizable, get parents' photo consent first.
New baby or new home: a "first year" or "our new house" book that grows into a keepsake.

Tips for a good book

Mix subjects: one face, one pet, one place. Use Simple lines for little kids and Detailed for older ones, and keep the same style inside one book. Read the photo to coloring page guide for how to choose photos.
