4 printable PDFs

Photo Coloring Book Kit

Four printables that take a folder of photos to a bound coloring book.

Everything the coloring-book guide asks you to decide, on paper: which photos survive the conversion, what order the pages run in, the printer settings that actually matter, and a cover you can hand-letter. Print the four sheets once and work through them with a pencil — it is faster than holding the whole project in your head.

How to print these

  1. 1. Download the sheets you need. Each PDF is a standalone printable — you do not need the whole pack.
  2. 2. Print at 100% scale. Choose 'Actual size' rather than 'Fit to page' so writing lines and boxes keep their spacing.
  3. 3. Black ink is enough. Every sheet is legible in greyscale, which saves colour cartridges for the artwork.
  4. 4. Pair it with the guide. The sheets follow the order of How to make a coloring book from photos.

FAQ

Are the printables really free?
Yes. All four PDFs download directly, with no account, email address or payment. They are ours to give away — use them at home, in a classroom or in a workshop.
What paper size are they?
Each sheet is A4 and prints cleanly on US Letter as well. Print at 100% scale rather than 'fit to page' so the margins and writing lines stay where they should.
Can I use these with a class or a workshop?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for pupils, a library group or a craft workshop. The only thing we ask is that you do not resell the PDFs themselves.
Do I need the Colora tool to use the pack?
No. The sheets work with any line-art source. They are built around the Colora coloring studio because that is what the guide uses, but the checklists and planner are tool-agnostic.
