Coloring books

Turn one idea into a coloring book.

Describe a theme — dinosaurs at the beach, a jungle band, a snowy day — and StoryMint draws a black-and-white coloring book with bold, clean outlines, one scene per page.

Line style

Included on every plan. No card required to start.

Start from a theme

Pick a theme, then make it yours.

Each theme opens the creator with a ready-to-edit idea and the line style that suits it.

See the difference

Line art in. A page ready for crayons out.

Every book is drawn as black-and-white line art with closed outlines, so each area can be filled in. Drag the handle to see the same page colored in.

  • Closed outlines, so colors stay inside the lines
  • One clear scene per page
  • A color cover to match

The colored page is an example fill, made to show how the areas color in.

The check

Every page goes through the paint-bucket test.

Before a page goes into your book, StoryMint checks that a paint-bucket fill stays inside the lines, that lines are thick enough to print and that there is no gray. A page that fails is drawn again.

Two ways to color

With a story or just pictures

Turn captions on and each picture gets one short line of story underneath. Leave them off for pages that are all picture.

Just pictures

One clear scene per page and nothing else, so the whole page is for coloring.

With a story

A short caption under each picture tells the story as kids color.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Coloring books are included on every plan, including Free. The Free plan shows a preview; see Pricing for what each plan includes.

Which style should I pick?
