Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about turning your family photos into beautiful, printable coloring pages with ColorBooth.

Getting Started

ColorBooth is an AI-powered app that transforms your family photos into beautiful, printable coloring pages. Upload any photo of your kids, pets, or family moments, and our AI converts it into a clean, Pixar-style line drawing that's ready to print and color. It's like turning your real memories into a personalized coloring book.

It's simple — just three steps:

  • Upload: Choose a photo from your device. Family photos, baby pictures, pet portraits — anything works.
  • Convert: Our AI analyzes the image and creates a detailed coloring page in the style you choose (Pixar, cartoon, realistic, and more).
  • Download & Print:Download your coloring page and print it at home. That's it — your kids can start coloring right away.

Try it yourself — upload your first photo

Yes, but it only takes a few seconds! Creating a free account lets us save your coloring pages to your personal gallery and ensures the best experience. You can sign up with Google or your email — and your first coloring page conversion is completely free.

Your first coloring page is completely free — every new account gets 1 credit to try it out. After that, you can purchase credit packs to keep creating. Credits start at $1 each, never expire, and there are no subscriptions or recurring charges.

ColorBooth works on any device with a web browser. Use it on your phone (iPhone or Android), tablet, or computer — no app download required. The experience is fully optimized for mobile, so you can turn a photo into a coloring page right from your phone while your kids are playing.

Photos & Formats

ColorBooth supports the most common image formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG, and PDF. These cover photos taken on virtually any smartphone, camera, or downloaded from social media.

Photos with clear subjects and good lighting produce the best coloring pages. Here are some tips for great results:

  • Use well-lit photos where faces and details are clearly visible.
  • Photos with a clear subject (one or two people) tend to convert better than large group shots.
  • Avoid very dark or blurry photos — the AI needs detail to create clean lines.
  • Both portrait and landscape orientations work. Close-ups and full-body shots both produce great results.

Almost any photo works! Family portraits, baby photos, pet pictures, vacation snapshots, birthday party moments — you name it. Our AI is trained to handle a wide variety of images. The only limitation is very low-quality or extremely dark photos, where there isn't enough visual detail for the AI to work with.

ColorBooth offers multiple conversion styles to suit different preferences and age groups. Choose from Pixar-style (our signature look with clean, cartoon-like lines), classic cartoon, realistic line art, and more. Each style produces a different aesthetic, so you can experiment to find the one your kids love most.

Credits & Pricing

Credits start at $1 each when you buy the 5-credit pack ($4.99). The 20-credit pack brings the price down to $0.60 per credit — a 40% saving. One credit = one coloring page. See our pricing page for details.

Yes! Every new account gets 1 free credit so you can try ColorBooth before buying anything. No credit card required.

Never. Your credits stay in your account until you use them. No rush, no deadlines — buy now and use them whenever you want.

A credit is reserved the moment you start generating a coloring page. If the generation completes successfully, the credit is captured (spent). If anything goes wrong at any step — upload failure, AI error, server issue — the credit is automatically released back to your balance. You only ever pay for successful generations.

The generation continues on our servers even if you close your browser or navigate away. Your coloring page will finish generating, the credit will be spent, and the result will appear in your gallery next time you visit.

Credit purchases are non-refundable, but your credits never expire and any failed generation is automatically refunded. If you experience an issue, contact us and we'll help.

Yes. Visit the pricing page whenever you need more. New credits are added to your existing balance immediately after purchase.

Your current credit balance is always visible in the navigation bar at the top of the page. You can also see it on the generate page before starting a new conversion.

All payments are processed by Stripe, the same payment platform trusted by millions of businesses worldwide. We never see or store your card details.

Printing & Downloading

Once your coloring page is ready, click the Download button. The file is optimized for standard letter-size (8.5" x 11") or A4 printing. Open the downloaded file and print it using your home printer or any print service. For best results, use standard white printer paper or slightly thicker cardstock if you want the page to hold up to enthusiastic coloring.

For detailed tips on paper, settings, and getting the best results, see our printing guide.

Coloring pages are downloaded as high-resolution image files, ready to print at full quality. The files are sized for standard printing so you don't need to adjust anything — just hit print.

ColorBooth coloring pages are intended for personal and educational use. If you're a teacher or educator, feel free to print copies for your classroom. For commercial use (selling printed coloring pages or books), please contact us to discuss licensing.

Privacy & Security

Your original photo is used only to generate your coloring page. The moment the coloring page is ready, your original photo is permanently deleted from our servers. We never keep your uploaded photos — only the finished coloring page is saved to your private gallery.

Yes — you have full control. You can permanently delete any coloring page from your gallery at any time. Once deleted, the image is removed from our servers completely and cannot be recovered.

No. Your photos are processed solely to create your coloring page and are deleted immediately after. On our paid Gemini API tier, submitted content is not used to improve Google's products.

Troubleshooting

If you're not happy with the result, try these tips: upload a higher-quality version of the photo, make sure the subject is well-lit and in focus, try a different conversion style, or crop the photo to focus on the main subject before uploading. Sometimes a small adjustment in the original photo makes a big difference in the output. If issues persist, drop us a line and we'll help.

Most coloring pages are generated in under 30 seconds. Processing time depends on the complexity of the photo and current server load, but you'll typically have your coloring page ready in moments.

Make sure your photo is in a supported format (JPG, PNG, or PDF), and that the file size isn't extremely large. If you're uploading from a phone, try using a recent photo from your camera roll. If the issue persists, try a different browser or clear your browser cache. Still stuck? Contact us and we'll sort it out.
