Want to make your own color by number for free? Start with a clear photo and our color by number maker can turn it into a printable worksheet — numbered regions to fill in, plus a full-color answer key so kids know which crayon goes where. 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 page with up to 6 colors or "Big kids" for a page with up to 8 colors, 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
Choose a clear photo with one main subject — a face, a pet, or a toy. Simple backgrounds work best.
-
2
Pick a color level
Choose "Little ones" for a worksheet with up to 6 colors or "Big kids" for a page with up to 8 colors. 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 a screen-free afternoon needs
Download your worksheet and answer key, then print at home when you're ready.
From photo to color by number
Turn a photo into a numbered worksheet automatically — no tracing or drawing skill needed.
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 page with up to 6 colors; big kids get a worksheet with up to 8 colors. 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
Your photos are used only to make your pages — never sold, shared, or used to train AI. Delete them any time.
Made for the hard parts of the day
Restaurants. Waiting rooms. Rainy Saturdays. The 45 minutes before dinner.
Rainy-day rescue
Pull a photo off your phone, make a color-by-number worksheet, and buy yourself a calm half hour — screens off, crayons out.
Birthday party favors
Make color-by-number pages from a photo of the birthday kid and send every guest home with one. Cheaper than a goodie bag, far more personal.
