Preparing your coloring page…

How the coloring tool works

Everything here is free and needs no account. Your colors are saved in this browser as you go.

Tools

  • Fill: tap or click an area and it takes the chosen color. Lines are never painted over. Tap again with another color to change it, or with white to clear it.
  • Brush: paint freely with the chosen color. In Full mode the slider sets the brush size.
  • Eraser: rubs out brush strokes. It does not touch fills: clear those with white, or with Clear.
  • Move: drag the picture around when you are zoomed in. It never paints.

Zoom

  • Buttons: + and − in the corner of the picture; the percentage button shows the whole page again.
  • Mouse and trackpad: roll the wheel over the picture, or pinch on the trackpad. On a phone or tablet, pinch with two fingers.
  • Moving around: the Move tool, two fingers on a touch screen, or the middle mouse button.

Simple and Full

  • Simple: twelve colors, big buttons, Fill, Brush and Eraser. The brush and the eraser stay inside the area where the stroke started, so nothing crosses a line. Made for the youngest.
  • Full: the whole palette, brush size, the Move tool, Share, and a “Stay inside the lines” switch for the brush.
  • The switch is at the top of the panel. Your choice is remembered on this device.

Undo, redo, clear

  • Undo takes back the last fill or stroke; Redo brings it back. Up to forty steps.
  • Clear starts the page over. It cannot be undone.

Saving, printing, sharing

  • Saving: your progress is kept in this browser automatically. Open the same page again and it is still there; “Continue coloring” on the collection page takes you back to the last one.
  • Download PNG saves the picture; Print prints it on one page.
  • Share copies a link that carries your fills, so someone else opens the page with your colors. Brush strokes are not part of the link.

If something looks off

  • A tap fills more than it should: the drawing has a gap in the line there. Undo, then color that part with the brush in Simple mode, it stays inside.
  • A white speck stays after a fill: tap it again, or go over it with the brush.
