Frequently asked questions

Can I use any type of photo? Yes, but photos with clear subjects and good contrast work best. Portraits, pets, and scenes with defined edges convert better than abstract or heavily filtered images.

How long does processing take? Processing time depends on quality: fast (under 30 seconds), standard (under 60 seconds), high (under 2 minutes).

Can I cancel processing once it starts? Processing cannot be canceled once started, but you can close the browser and return later to check results.

What happens if processing fails? Failed conversions don't consume credits. You can try again with the same or different settings.

Can I edit the coloring page after it's generated? The generated coloring page is a finished image file. Yes, you can use our prompt-based editing feature to make changes to the coloring page once it is converted.

Are there limits on how many photos I can convert? Your monthly credit allocation determines how many photos you can convert. Different plans have different credit limits
