Get artsy and make your own coloring pages!
If you have a kiddo who loves to color, consider creating a custom coloring book from your favorite photo memories using the FREE Colorscape app! It takes just a few minutes and is sure to make a great keepsake or gift for someone special. Plus, it’s just a really fun and unique activity for kids!
Download the Colorscape app to create your own coloring pages!
Although there are likely several ways to accomplish this, I recently discovered a free app called Colorscape available for both iPhones and iPads.
This app does a great job of turning photos into coloring pages instantly and I was amazed by the quality of the picture pages we created!
Check out this FREE app in the Apple App Store or on Google Play!
Are you a visual learner? I made a video to show how easy the process is to take a fave photo and turn it into a coloring page!
All you do is pick a photo from your camera and the app creates the coloring page image and lets you save it or share it. I then emailed the image to myself and was able to print each image out on paper.
What to make with customized coloring pages created with the Colorscape App?
I printed out a few pages and took them to Staples to have them bound together into a booklet. Such a cute gift idea and a great way to utilize special family pictures!
Here are a few resources to make your very own custom coloring book:
- Create a coloring book by binding at home with this DIY product on Bluprint.
- Have a spiral or paperback booklet printed at Office Depot.
- Order a saddle-stiched booklet by uploading images to Printivity.
Homemade coloring pages make great gifts!
These booklets are perfect to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or a birthday! You can also have your child’s special artwork framed to display around your home or give it to a loved one.
Tips for making your own Colorscape coloring pages:
- Use colored pencils or pastel color sticks so the outline of the pictures is still prominent.
- Avoid choosing images with people wearing sunglasses, they print kinda funky looking!
- Choose images with good clarity and sharpness so they don’t look distorted after you print them.
Bring memories to life with Colorscape!
My kids thought this activity was so fun! They even asked if they could mail their colored memories to their distant cousins. If you’re looking for cool, free art activities for your little ones, you’ve got to try Colorscape coloring at home!

We LOVE this app!! Very easy to use and my family loves the results!! 😍
Yay! SO glad to hear you have been loving it! Thanks for commenting!
i love this app
This is so cool! Gonna print some for the grandkids.
I hope you guys enjoy this coloring craft together!❤️
Love this! Thank you so much. I’m downloading for myself since I like to sketch, draw, and paint. I feel this will really help me. I can’t create with watercolor or acrylics without a simple sketch first and often my perspective is off.
How fun! You’re welcome, LisaK! Enjoy!
Are there any apps like this for android?
I got it on my Samsung through the google play store.
Hey there! You should be able to download Colorscape from Google play as long as you have an Android 5.0 or newer. Unfortunately, I didn’t see very many similar options available in the Google play store. I hope it works for you!
Thanks! Going to have the kids make Father’s Day cards for their daddy!
That’s a great idea! Steeling it from you 😉👍❤️
Aww, you’re so welcome! Love that idea!
I upgraded this app for a few bucks so I could remover the water mark and adjust the detail better. Well worth the upgrade . My grandkids love the coloring pages and I framed the ones they colored of each member ( fur babies included) hung them in their playroom at my house. Cheaper and adorable artwork 😊 love this app
Oh how fun! I love that you turned your grandkid’s pictures into artwork for the playroom, I bet they love seeing it in there😊
What do you mean by watermark? Can you post before and after app purchase please? TY!
Not good, charges for any edits yet the free coloring page it generates lacks any detail thus requires simple editing! Thumbs down, removed app.
I’m sorry you weren’t a fan of the app! It does work better with certain pictures more than others.
Still looking for something like this for Android… 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Hi!! I have a Samsung Galaxy 9s and I was able to download the app.
I’ve looking all over for apps and websites that make custom coloring pages. A new one that seems to offer some interesting options (if you can figure out how to switch between the settings) is https://fotomedley.com. It’s a website and makes you pay for full-size downloads, but seems to work on mobile phones.
Are there any other ways Or Apps to create free photo coloring pages where you don’t have to pay to upgrade (to remove watermark?) Thank you
