The rainy afternoon
A page of their own dog beats a page of a generic dinosaur, and it takes about as long to make as it does to find the pencils.
One photo in · Print-ready line art out · Nothing to install
Upload a photo of the dog, the grandparents, the house you grew up in — and get back clean black outlines on white paper, with nothing shaded and nothing filled in. Print it, hand it over with a box of pencils, and it works.
Made with the model this page uses. Drag the divider — the pose, the ears, the open mouth and the garden behind all survive, but everything is outline and nothing is filled.
Drag to compare before and after
Plenty of filters will make a photo look sketched. Very few produce a file that survives a home printer and a seven-year-old with a felt-tip. The difference is not style, it is three specific things: pure white where the paper is, unbroken lines that close the shapes they describe, and no grey anywhere — because grey prints as a smudge and cannot be coloured over.
The people who search for this are almost never looking for art. They are a parent on a rainy afternoon, a teacher with a class and a photocopier, someone who has already tried the sketch generator and found it too shaded, a nursing home activities coordinator, someone making a wedding favour for the children's table.
All of them are going to print the result within about a minute of getting it, which means the file has to be right the first time — a lovely image with grey shading in it is a wasted sheet of paper.
Backgrounds are the judgement call most people get wrong on the first go. A busy photo produces a busy page, and every leaf and brick becomes something that has to be coloured in. For a young child, crop tight on the subject before you upload. For an adult page, leave the background in — the intricacy is the appeal, and that is exactly the sort of page that gets sold in books.
Faces work, but they behave differently from pets and buildings. Line art has no shading to model a face with, so a portrait comes back as an outline of features rather than a likeness, and small children in particular can end up looking generic. Photos with strong clear edges — an animal with defined fur, a house, a bike, a birthday cake — translate more reliably than a soft-focus baby photo.
Print it at A4 or Letter and check one thing before you make thirty copies: that the thinnest lines actually appear. A conversion with beautiful hairline detail on screen can lose half of it on an inkjet, and the fix is simply to ask for heavier line weight and run it again.

Upload a photo, say whether you want simple or intricate, and the credit estimate updates before you press anything. The run happens on this page and the result opens directly under the box, ready to download and print.
A shaded conversion looks better on screen and is useless on paper: the shading prints as a muddy wash, the child colours over it, and the result is brown. Everything on this page is set up to come back as pure black and pure white with nothing in between.
The same photo makes two completely different pages. Thick simple outlines with open space suit a four-year-old; fine intricate line work suits an adult with a pack of good pencils and an evening. Neither is the better output — say which one you want in the prompt.
Everything here is aimed at a sheet of paper, not a screen.
Good light, a subject that stands out from what is behind it. An animal with defined fur, a building, a bike, a face in even light. Soft focus and dim rooms give the outlines nothing to follow.
Ask for thick simple outlines and open space for a small child, or fine intricate line work for an adult. This one instruction changes the output more than anything else you can type.
Download, print a single copy at full size, and check the thinnest lines came through. If they vanished, ask for heavier lines and run it again — it is cheaper than a second ream of paper.
Almost everyone doing this has a printer in the room and a deadline of about ten minutes.
A page of their own dog beats a page of a generic dinosaur, and it takes about as long to make as it does to find the pencils.
The school trip photo, the class pet, the building they are studying — turned into something every child in the room can colour and take home.
Weddings and birthdays with a children's table, where a printed page of the couple's dog keeps six kids occupied through the speeches.
What comes out, what to ask for, and what does not translate.
Upload the picture on this page, say whether you want simple thick outlines or fine detailed ones, and press generate. The result opens under the box and downloads as an image you can print at A4 or Letter. Nothing needs installing.
That is what the output is shaped for: solid black lines on pure white with no grey and no filled areas, so a home inkjet or a school photocopier reproduces it cleanly. Print one copy first and check the finest lines appeared before you run off a stack.
Yes, and you should. Ask for thick clear outlines, few small details and plenty of open space, and crop the photo tight on the subject before uploading so there is no busy background to fill in. For an adult coloring page ask for the opposite — fine even lines and the background left in.
They work, with a caveat. Line art has no shading to model a face with, so a portrait becomes an outline of the features rather than a likeness, and very young children can come out looking generic. Subjects with strong edges — pets, houses, bikes, cakes — translate more reliably.
No. Grey is the thing that ruins a printable coloring page: it prints as a wash, the pencil goes over the top, and the whole area turns muddy. The instruction on this page asks for pure black and pure white with nothing in between.
Check the terms that apply to your account before selling anything generated here, and make sure you have the right to the original photograph in the first place — a page made from someone else's picture carries their rights, not yours.
You choose the shape before you run it, and portrait suits standard paper best. Print at 100% rather than fit-to-page so line weights stay as generated.
Yes — run each photo separately and download each page. There is no bulk upload here, but each run takes well under a minute, and the credit estimate for each one appears before you press the button.
Yes — hand the finished line art back to the [image model](/image/nano-banana-2) and ask for it filled in, which is a useful way to show a child what their page could look like before they start.
One credit pool covers Nano Banana images and Seedance and Veo video. The cost shows before every run, and failed jobs are not charged. Use a subscription for ongoing work, or a one-time pack when you just need to top up.

You're only charged for successful generations. The exact estimate in the generator varies by model, length, resolution, audio, and number of images.
| Type | Model | Credit cost |
|---|---|---|
| Video | Seedance 2.5 | The long-take tier, priced per second: 5s 480p ≈ 211 credits, 5s 720p ≈ 473. A full 30s take runs ≈ 1,260 at 480p and ≈ 2,835 at 720p. Supplying a reference clip lowers the per-second rate. |
| Video | Seedance 2.0 | 5s 720p image-to-video ≈ 188 credits; text-to-video ≈ 308 credits. Scales with resolution and length. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Fast | Faster and lower cost. 5s 720p text-to-video ≈ 248 credits. |
| Video | Seedance 2 Mini | The cheapest Seedance tier. 5s 720p ≈ 154 credits, 5s 480p ≈ 72 credits. |

| Video | Veo 3.1 | Billed per video, not per second (Lite tier). About 45 credits at 720p and 53 at 1080p. |
| Video | Kling 3.0 | Audio raises the rate. 5s 720p ≈ 105 credits silent, ≈ 150 with audio; 1080p ≈ 135 and ≈ 203. |
