Turn a photo into a coloring page

Color Garden draws a clean, kid-friendly coloring page from any family photo. It is a grown-up feature, it is private, and the first two photos are free.

Standard style. Drag to compare. A real example from the app.

Scene style keeps the setting, like this castle.

How to make custom coloring pages from your photos

  1. Choose a photo

    A grown-up opens the Grown-ups area, passes the adult check, and picks a photo from the library or takes a new one.

  2. Pick a style and tap Make

    Choose Standard, Detailed or Scene. The app shrinks the photo and removes its hidden details, then it is safety-checked and drawn.

  3. Save and color

    Review the page. If you like it, tap Save to My Photos. It joins your child's pictures, ready to color.

Three styles for every age

Pick the amount of drawing that suits your colorer. The cost is shown before you start.

Standard

Just the subject, drawn with big, simple shapes. Best for toddlers and preschoolers. 4 credits, or one of your free photos.

Standard style: a puppy with simple clean outlines

Detailed

The subject with more fur, patterns and small shapes. Best for older kids who like a challenge. 8 credits.

Detailed style: a puppy with extra fur and detail

Scene

The subject and the place, simplified into a colorable background. Landmarks such as a castle, beach or mountain are kept. 8 credits.

Scene style: a dog in front of a castle with trees

Photos that make great coloring pages

  • One or two clear subjects, such as a pet, a child or a favorite toy.
  • Good light, with the subject sharp and not tiny in the frame.
  • A tidy background for Standard. A landmark or a pretty setting for Scene.
  • Avoid photos with private details, such as house numbers, documents or name tags.

Private by design

  • Only grown-ups can use it, behind an adult check.
  • The photo is shrunk and its hidden details, such as location, are removed.
  • A safety check runs on the photo and on the finished drawing. If a check cannot finish, nothing is made and nothing is charged.
  • We do not store your photo or the drawing. Saved pages live on your device.

Photo page questions

How does the photo-to-coloring-page feature work?

A grown-up opens the Grown-ups area, passes the adult check, and picks or takes a photo. The app shrinks the photo and removes its hidden details, such as location. It goes through a safety check, an AI service draws a clean black-and-white coloring page, the result is checked again, and then you can save it to My Photos. Your child can color it like any other page.

How many free photo pages do I get?

Each account gets 2 free photo pages to try, once. After that, photo pages use credits. Credits are only used if you choose to buy a pack.

What does a photo page cost in credits?

A Standard page costs 4 credits. Detailed and Scene pages cost 8 credits. Packs are 12 credits for $1.99, 40 credits for $4.99, 100 credits for $9.99. If a page cannot be made, your credits are returned.

Do you keep my photos?

No. Our server handles a photo in memory only while the page is being made, then discards it. It is never written to disk or kept in our logs. The finished coloring page is saved only on your device, and only if you tap Save. An outside AI service does the drawing, so read the privacy page for exactly what it receives.
