There's nothing to install: it's a color by number generator that runs right in your browser, online, on a phone or a laptop.
This is a free printable color by number worksheet you color in with crayons or markers — not a paint-by-number canvas kit you have to buy and wait for. Pick "Little ones" for a simple 4-color page or "Big kids" for a busier 8-color one, print it at home, and you've got a calm, screen-free activity made from a photo your kid actually recognizes.
How it works
Three steps from a phone photo to a page on the fridge.
-
1
Upload a photo
Pick any photo from your phone or computer — a face, a pet, a toy, a holiday snap. A clear photo with one main subject works best.
-
2
Pick a color level
Choose "Little ones" for a simple 4-color worksheet or "Big kids" for a busier 8-color one. The generator does the numbering for you.

3
Download & print
Grab your printable color-by-number worksheet plus the full-color answer key, print at home, and hand over the crayons.
Everything you need to print at home
Built for parents, not designers. No software, no subscriptions to start, no waiting on the mail.
Any photo to color by number
Turn a photo into a numbered worksheet automatically — no tracing, no drawing skill, no settings to fiddle with.
Free and printable
A free printable color by number you can print at home on any standard printer. No credit card to try it.
Two color levels
Little ones get a simple 4-color page; big kids get a busier 8-color worksheet. Same photo, the right challenge.
Worksheet plus answer key
Every page comes with a matching full-color answer key, so kids always know which color each number should be.
Works online, no app
A color by number creator that runs in your browser — phone, tablet or laptop. Nothing to download or install.
Your photos stay private
Photos are used only to make your worksheet — never sold, shared, or published. Delete them any time.
