Make your own colouring pages from photos

Personal colouring pages are a lovely gift and a great rainy-day activity: the family dog, a birthday photo, a holiday snapshot or a favourite toy, turned into crisp outlines that children can colour in. This tool finds the edges in your photo and redraws them as clean black lines on white paper, ready to print.

Five line styles

  • Clean outlines: balanced lines for most photos.
  • Bold for kids: thick lines and large, simple areas that are easy to colour for younger children.
  • Cartoon areas: splits the picture into closed shapes, like a colour-by-area page.
  • Detailed: more texture and fine lines for older kids and adults.
  • Fine sketch: a delicate pencil-like drawing.

Fine-tune detail, line sensitivity, thickness, texture smoothing and speck removal, choose any line colour, or invert to white lines on black.

Print-ready pages

Choose A4 or US Letter, portrait, landscape or automatic orientation, margins, a border (simple, rounded, double or dashed), a title in any language and a “Name:” line for classrooms. Download a vector-bordered PDF, a 300 dpi page PNG or just the line art.

Tips for the best results

  • Use a sharp photo with good light and a plain background.
  • Crop close to the subject first with our crop tool.
  • Busy photos look cleaner with more texture smoothing and the Bold or Cartoon styles.
  • Raise “Remove small specks” if the background shows noise.

Everything happens in your browser, so family photos stay private. For artistic effects, try Photo to Sketch and the Cartoon Effect.
