Three steps from photo to coloring page
Pick a photo
Pets, toys, family scenes and landscapes all work. Choose a photo with a clear subject. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP, or paste one in.
Choose the Coloring page style
This style draws thick, even outlines and closes the shapes so each area can be colored in. Use Low detail for young children and High detail for older kids and adults. Remove the background for a simple page.
Download and print
Save the PNG with a white background and no watermark and print it on regular paper. Colored pencils, crayons and markers all work well.
How to make a coloring page from a photo
A coloring page from a photo is a black-and-white outline version of the picture that you print and color in. This page uses the photo to line art tool on the home page with its Coloring page style. The photo is redrawn as black outlines on white, with no shading or grey, so the page prints cleanly and every area is easy to color. It is a redrawing of your photo, not a trace, so small details may be simplified.
Ideas for photo coloring pages
Make a page of the family dog or cat, a favorite toy, a house or a vacation view. Teachers can turn classroom photos into pages, and parents can turn a child’s drawing or a birthday photo into an activity. Only use photos you own or have permission to use, and avoid uploading photos of other people’s children.
Tips for a better photo coloring page
For the best coloring page from a photo, choose a photo with a clear subject. Busy backgrounds make many tiny areas that are hard to color, so use Remove background or Low detail. If the lines look too thin for crayons, try Bold line for chunkier shapes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to make a coloring page from a photo?
Yes. You get 3 free drawings a day on each device, with no sign-up and no watermark on the download.
Can I print it?
Yes. The download is a PNG with a white background that prints on regular paper. For a bigger print, open it in your printing software and scale it up.
Will the shapes be closed so kids can color them in?
The Coloring page style asks for thick outlines and closed shapes. Results come from a redrawing of your photo, so check the page before printing and run it again with Low detail if it looks too busy.
Can I make a coloring book from many photos?
Free drawings are made one photo at a time. Choosing several photos at once is part of the paid packs, which are not on sale yet, so for now make one page per photo.
