Photo to coloring page, ready to print

Printable coloring pages from your photos

The first result we got for each, at 1K. The small picture is the starting photo, made with the model; "Use this prompt" puts the prompt in the tool above. Thick, closed outlines with no shading or gray are what make a page easy to color, and cheap on ink.

A dog

Turn this photo into a printable coloring page on a plain white background: bold, thick black outlines, closed shapes, no shading, no gray and no color. Simple enough for a child to color in.

Bold, closed outlines with big spaces to color. It kept a simple park around the dog even though we asked for a plain background; the cat below shows the fix.

Coloring pages of people

A person works too, in a friendly cartoon style. So do two people from two separate photos: a page of the two of you to color together, or of the grandparents for the grandkids.

Coloring pages for kids

Kids love coloring what they know: the dog, the cat, the house, the family car. For little hands keep "bold, thick black outlines" and "simple enough for a child to color in" in the prompt, and name the subject ("the dog only") so the background doesn't fill the page with tiny bits. We tested only this simple style; for older kids, try asking for thinner lines and more detail.

How to print it at home

1. Pick 3:4 and 2K before you generate. 3:4 is close to a letter or A4 sheet, and 2K keeps the lines crisp for the same 1 credit as 1K.
2. Download the PNG. It's an ordinary image file, so any printer can take it.
3. Print it to fit the page, in portrait. Plain paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; use thicker paper for markers.
