Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: September 15, 2026

A few of the questions we hear most. Do not see yours? Get in touch.

How does it work?

Pick a book size, upload your photos, and we turn them into coloring pages. You add captions, choose your covers, review a live preview, and approve. We print it and ship it to you.

How many photos do I need?

It depends on the size you choose, from about 18 photos for the smallest book up to around 98 for the largest. You can add a few spares too.

What kind of photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos with a recognizable subject work best. If a photo is too small for a crisp print, we will let you know before you continue.

How long does it take?

In the US, about two weeks from order to door: a person checks your book within 24 hours, printing takes 3 to 5 business days, and tracked shipping about 5 to 7 days. Outside the US, two to four weeks depending on the country; the estimate for your address is shown at checkout. See our Shipping Policy.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Yes - to more than 150 countries. Our printer has plants in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Australia and India and prints your book at the one nearest the recipient. Pick the delivery country at the start of checkout and we show the tracked shipping price for that address before you pay. The book price is the same everywhere; only shipping changes. Outside the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and Australia, your country may charge import duties or VAT on arrival - those are the recipient's. Details in our Shipping Policy.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes - the layout of every page, plus your cover and the first two coloring pages fully drawn, before you pay. The remaining pages are drawn right after payment with the same process, and a person checks every page before anything is printed.

Are my photos private?

Yes. Your photos are used only to make your book, are not used to train AI, and are removed from our active systems after your order ships. See our Privacy Policy.

Do you offer gift options?

Yes, including add-ons like custom crayons, gift wrap, a hand-written card, and gift cards for a book (or several) across the year.

What if something is wrong with my book?

We reprint or replace any printing defect or shipping damage at no cost. See our Return & Refund Policy.
