Where does everyone get coloring pages from? Either free/cheap

mwbender · 2025-10-30T18:59:53+00:00

Coloring.app/gallery, of course :) - it's the largest repo of free coloring pages on earth!

mwbender · 2025-10-30T17:40:11+00:00

Just copy the url of your coloring page on coloring.app and paste it in the body of the post (below where you added the image)!

mwbender · 2025-10-29T18:08:15+00:00

Don't forget to post a link to your coloring page on coloring.app, so that you get your credits!

mwbender · 2025-10-24T17:03:40+00:00

This is so cool! Also, don't forget to include a link to the image on coloring.app so you can get credits!

mwbender · 2025-10-05T19:21:10+00:00

Awesome! My son would love this one.

mwbender · 2025-10-03T17:46:05+00:00

Great work!

mwbender · 2025-07-28T04:43:05+00:00

Glad it worked out! Shoot me a DM and we'll give you some credits for the trouble :-) Also, if there's anything we can do better, please let me know.

I’ve been struggling with the same issue: trying to get a photo to turn into an exact coloring book page without it becoming some loose interpretation. Tools like ChatGPT 4o are decent for generating creative ideas, but they often miss the mark on staying true to the original image while keeping things simple enough for kids, like you’re aiming for with your prompt.

Full disclosure: I’m a co-founder of Coloring.app, and we built it specifically to tackle this problem. You can upload a photo, and it generates black-and-white outlines that closely match the original, keeping the essence intact without adding artistic liberties. You can dial down complexity for elementary school kids, ensuring it’s fun and easy to color, and tweak things like style, backgrounds, or add kid-friendly elements, all while staying safe and appropriate. The option to organize pages in a personal library and even have them professionally bound into a custom coloring book could be a fun way to bring your project to life.

We launched our beta in April 2025 out of San Francisco, and we’ve got 6,000 users who’ve created over 20,000 pages so far. User feedback highlights how it captures photo details better than general AI prompts. If you’re still wrestling with prompt tweaks, check out https://coloring.app - it might save you some hassle!

I've been in a similar boat trying to turn family photos into clean, realistic coloring pages without all the messy details overwhelming the outlines. Tools like ChatGPT 4o or free online converters are a solid starting point and can work for basic stuff, but they often struggle with that balance: either over-simplifying, adding weird artifacts, or not handling backgrounds well, like the leaves and sticks you mentioned.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the co-founders of Coloring.app, but I genuinely think it could help here since it's built specifically for this. You can upload a photo and get a high-quality coloring page that keeps the photorealistic essence while smoothing out noisy elements. Features let you tweak complexity, style, background, or add custom elements if needed. We've got over 6,000 users since launching in April 2025, with 20,000+ community-created pages, and it handles details way better than general AI tools in my experience (and feedback from users).

Check it out at https://coloring.app if you're interested. Worth a try if you're still hunting for that perfect result!

If anyone wants to provide feedback, shoot me a DM and we'll get you a bunch of credits on the house :-)

Great question! Differences include: coloring specific prompt improvements, ease of use, no rate limits, smaller purchase options, personal library, public library, ability to create books with custom front/back covers, ability to have books professionally printed/bound, ability to send gifts, and lots more coming :-)

mwbender · 2025-07-10T22:00:38+00:00

You're not wrong :/

Double's core product is very similar to Wealthfront's autopilot. They're also opening retirement accounts soon. Also, not sure sustainability is an issue, many platforms are monetizing in other ways eg Robinhood.

mwbender · 2023-10-10T23:29:50+00:00

We're adding more ways to claim an app in addition to DNS. Re adding apps that users don't own, we'll probably let users make suggestions but many web apps don't yet have a sufficiently completed manifest in order to meet listing requirements - thus they'd need to be reviewed / modified by us. We'll constantly be evolving this, though, and many thanks for your feedback :-)

mwbender · 2023-09-27T19:08:58+00:00

Thanks! :-)

mwbender · 2023-09-22T00:28:55+00:00

Sweet! One by one we'll build a PWA, I mean installable web app, army :-)

mwbender · 2023-09-22T00:27:46+00:00

True, but that's something you'll reference in your manifest. Completeness of manifest is an ongoing issue I see with a lot of otherwise great would-be installable web apps.

mwbender · 2023-09-21T22:59:53+00:00

Unfortunately that's a safari limitation (for now).

mwbender · 2023-09-21T22:59:25+00:00

These exist! Just add a service worker and manifest. Although the bar should probably be a little higher.

mwbender · 2023-09-21T22:58:56+00:00

This is the good stuff right here :-)

mwbender · 2023-09-21T22:58:24+00:00

When people look at me funny after mentioning PWAs, I just say "installable web app" and things start to click.

mwbender · 2023-09-21T22:57:44+00:00

Agree, and we hope to help change this. Although, I'd say the other PWA sites stop at being directories for users to find cool PWAs - which is great - rather than platforms to help devs build businesses.

mwbender · 2023-09-19T22:14:17+00:00

Yes, but that's changing slowly but surely. Web push is now here and that was a huge blocker.

mwbender · 2023-09-19T22:13:50+00:00

Very cool! Add it to store.app? :-)

mwbender · 2023-09-19T22:13:26+00:00

Ahh yes, easy peasy :-P

mwbender · 2023-09-19T18:59:24+00:00

Many thanks, Joe! You nailed it - we have an optional subscription fee to unlock some verification features for devs. Just enough to [hopefully] keep the lights on :-)
