Creating Coloring Pages

How does the AI generate coloring pages?

Our AI uses advanced machine learning technology trained on millions of images. When you enter a description, the AI:

  1. Analyzes your text to understand the subject and style
  2. Generates a unique image based on your description
  3. Optimizes the output for coloring (clean lines, appropriate detail level)
  4. Delivers a print-ready coloring page

The entire process typically takes 30-60 seconds.

How do I get the best results from the AI generator?

Keep it simple! Just describe the object or subject you want in your coloring page. Avoid overly complex descriptions for best results.

Good examples:

  • cat
  • rainbow unicorn
  • birthday cake
  • dinosaur
  • butterfly
  • princess castle

💡 Tip: Simple, clear object names work better than long, detailed descriptions.

What aspect ratios are available?

We offer five aspect ratio options:

  • 1:1 (Square): Perfect for social media or framing
  • 3:4 (Portrait): Ideal for standard paper printing
  • 4:3 (Landscape): Great for wide scenes

  • 16:9 (Wide): Ideal for banners or desktops

  • PNG: High-resolution image file. Perfect for digital use, editing, or custom printing sizes.
  • PDF: A4 size (210 × 297 mm), ready for immediate printing on standard paper.

What paper should I use for printing?

The best paper depends on your coloring tools:

  • Crayons: Standard copy paper works fine
  • Colored pencils: Slightly heavier paper (100+ gsm) for better blending
  • Markers: Card stock (120+ gsm) to prevent bleeding
  • Watercolors: Watercolor paper (200+ gsm)

Credits and Payments

How do credits work?

Credits are the currency used to download coloring pages created by other users:

  • Each download of another user's page costs a small number of credits
  • Your own creations are always free to download
  • Once you download a page, you can re-download it unlimited times
  • Credits never expire

For commercial use (selling printed pages, inclusion in products for sale, etc.), please check our terms of service or contact us for licensing information.

Can I share coloring pages I've created?

Absolutely! Feel free to share your creations with friends, family, or on social media. When you share, others can view and download your pages using their credits, which helps support the platform and community.

Technical Questions

Why is my generation taking a long time?

Generation typically takes 30-60 seconds. If it's taking longer:
