A Personalized Coloring Book, Made From Your Photos
A coloring book where the pages are your family, your friends, your holidays. It’s a gift that takes an evening to make and that nobody else could have given.
Pintej turns your photos into coloring pages and helps you lay them out as a book with a cover and a title. Then you print it at home.
The browser trial needs a Google sign-in. The app is coming to iPhone first.
What one page looks like
A selfie, the coloring page Pintej drew from it, and the same page colored in the app.
Real Pintej output from a sample photo we use for demos. Your own photos go through exactly the same steps.
How to make the gift
- 1
Pick the photos
Moments the person will recognize: a trip, a birthday, the kids, a pet.
- 2
Choose a style
Normal, Manga or Comic. Each photo becomes a page with bold outlines.
- 3
Personalize the book
Cover, title, page order and a short dedication, in the Studio.
- 4
Print or send it
Print the PDF at home, or send a link so they can color it on their phone.
Occasions
- Christmas, for kids or grandparents
- Birthdays, with photos from the past year
- Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
- Grandparents Day, with the grandchildren as the pages
- A thank-you for a teacher or a nanny
No shipping, no waiting
Pintej doesn’t print or mail anything. You export a PDF and print it on your own printer, so the gift is ready the same day you make it.
If the person you’re giving it to doesn’t have a printer nearby, you can send them a link to color the book on their phone instead.
Questions
Is a printed book delivered?
No. Pintej is digital: you print the PDF at home. You can also share a link to color the book on a phone.
How long does it take?
Turning photos into pages takes a few minutes. Most of the time goes into choosing photos and laying out the book.
What paper should I use?
Regular printer paper works for pencils. For markers, 120 gsm paper (about 32 lb) stops the ink from bleeding through.
When can I make one?
The iPhone app is coming soon to the App Store; join the waitlist to hear the day it opens. You can already try the photo-to-coloring-page step in your browser.
