Create custom styles from your own reference images

Custom styles let you upload a reference image, save it as a private style, and reuse that look in future generations. You can use custom styles in the dashboard's text prompt and word art generators to keep your results more consistent.

Custom style creation is available on the Artist, Business, and Ultra plans. Each saved style belongs only to your account.

What it does

The app turns one uploaded reference image into a reusable style option in your Style dropdown. After you save it, you can pick that custom style any time you generate new coloring pages with text prompts or word art.

When you upload an image, the app checks that the file is safe and that it looks like a good coloring-page style reference. The app also suggests a style name for you, which you can keep or edit before saving.

How to use it

1. Open the generator in your dashboard and choose either the text prompt generator or the word art generator.
2. Find the Style dropdown and click the plus button next to it.
3. Upload a reference image in JPG, PNG, or WebP format. Keep the file at 4 MB or smaller.
4. Wait for the review step while the app checks the image and suggests a style name.
5. Edit the style name if needed so it is easy to recognize later.
6. Click Save custom style to add it to your private style list.
7. Select your new custom style from the Style dropdown. The app adds it right away, so you do not need to refresh the page.
8. Generate your image in either default or high quality mode.

Where it works

Custom styles currently work in these places:

• Text prompt generator in the authenticated dashboard
• Word art generator in the authenticated dashboard
• Default quality generations
• High quality generations

The app saves custom styles to your account, so you can come back later and use the same style again.

Common patterns

Keep a consistent look across a series: Upload one style image, then reuse it for a set of prompts so your pages feel like they belong together.

Build custom word art looks: Save a favorite hand-drawn or decorative reference, then apply it to names, short phrases, or classroom signs in the word art generator.

Match a specific line quality: If you like bold outlines, playful curves, or cleaner contour lines, save one good reference and use it as your starting point instead of switching between preset styles.

Speed up repeat work: Once the style is saved, you do not need to describe the same visual look from scratch every time.

What it doesn't do

Custom styles do not copy the exact subject from your reference image. The uploaded image guides the visual style, not the specific characters, objects, or scene from that image.

Custom styles do not work everywhere in the app yet. Right now, they are limited to the dashboard's text prompt and word art generators.

Custom styles are not shared with other users. Each saved style is private to your own account.

Custom styles do not accept every image. If the image fails safety checks or does not look like a useful coloring-page style reference, the app will ask you to try a different image.

Custom styles do not have a separate management page yet. Right now, you create them from the generator and select them from the style list.

Tips

Use clean reference images with clear line work and a strong visual style. Busy photos or realistic images usually make weaker style references.

Choose art you have permission to use. Your uploaded image becomes part of your private workflow, so it is best to use your own art or references you are allowed to reuse.

Name styles by the look, not the subject. Names like "Bold playful linework" or "Decorative floral outlines" are easier to reuse than names tied to one image.

Test both quality modes. The same custom style can feel a little different in default and high quality generation, so it helps to compare both for your workflow.

Getting help

If a custom style will not save or does not produce the look you expected, email help@colorbliss.com with:

• Which generator you used: text prompt or word art
• Your plan name

• What happened and what you expected instead
• Any error message you saw

Next steps

Try saving one custom style from a reference image you already like, then use it on two or three different prompts. That is the fastest way to see how your saved style behaves across different ideas.
