How It Works

Updated

The short answerUpload 5 to 30 of your own photos. Each photo becomes its own black-and-white coloring page, and you see your first page free before you pay. Then choose an instant PDF for $14.99, or a printed book for $29.99 with shipping included in the United States.

1. Pick your photos

Choose 5 to 30 photos of your family, kids or pets. Photos straight from your phone work, iPhone photos included, and so do old prints you have scanned or photographed flat.

Close-ups where faces fill a good part of the photo make the cleanest pages. Our guide on which photos make the best coloring pages shows what works and what to skip.

A photo, and the coloring page made from it.

2. See your first page free

Before you pay anything, we draw your first page so you can see how your own photo looks as a coloring page. Once you order, the rest of your pages are drawn at about 30 seconds a page, and you can close the page while it works.

3. Choose the PDF or the printed book

It is one payment. There is no subscription.

4. Check your pages, then print

Nothing is printed until you have looked through your pages and pressed Send My Book to Print. If a page is not right, redraw it for free, up to 2 times a page, and keep whichever version you like best.

Printed books ship in 5–7 days, and most arrive in about 12 to 14 days, anywhere in the United States. We email you a tracking link when yours ships.

Our promise

Love it or we reprint or refund it. If you are not happy with your book for any reason, write to us within 14 days of the delivery date (printed book) or your purchase (PDF), and we will print it again or refund you.

What happens to your photos

Your photos are used only to make your book, and never for ads. If you do not buy, they are deleted after 24 hours. If you do, we delete them after 30 days, or you can delete them yourself any time from your book page.

Questions

How long does it take to make a book?

Choosing photos takes a few minutes. Your first page is drawn while you wait, and after you order the rest are drawn at about 30 seconds a page. The PDF is ready as soon as the pages are.

Do I need a printer?

Only for the PDF. Any home printer and plain letter paper works. If you would rather not print, choose the printed book and we mail it to you.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Printed books ship to addresses in the United States only. The PDF works anywhere.

Is there a subscription?

No. It is one payment for your book.
