Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GlueStick coloring page generator?

Take or upload a picture of your pet, your family, or the view outside your window, and GlueStick turns it into a printable coloring sheet you can color with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

What do the different styles mean?

Pick the look you want: Classic Cartoon, Comic Book, and Storybook give your picture a fun illustrated look, and Detailed keeps outlines closer to the real shapes in your photo.

What is the difference between Low and High detail level?

Low uses thick lines and just a few big spaces to color. High has a moderate amount of detail for kids who want a bit more to color.

Can I color my picture on the computer?

Not yet — this tool makes a printable coloring sheet. Save your design, then print it or download the PDF, and color it in on paper with crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Is the coloring page generator free?

Yes. During our beta period, making a coloring sheet is completely free. Saving your design and downloading the PDF needs a free GlueStick account.

Can I use a picture with my favorite cartoon character?

Probably not. Your favorite cartoon character is likely a protected image owned by someone else. If you want to color your favorite cartoon character, it's best to buy a coloring book to make sure the original author is fairly compensated.

What can I do with these coloring sheets?

Coloring sheets are for personal entertainment only. They cannot be sold or posted on any other website. These images are AI-generated. GlueStick claims no copyright over the pictures this tool generates. Any characters, brands, or trademarks stay the property of their owners.

Why do I get an error message about this image including a character you can't use?

If your image includes a trademarked or copyrighted character, our AI image model will block it to protect the rights of the original owner. This message can appear if the character is on a shirt, toy, sticker, or other item in the picture..

How do you protect my privacy?What happens to my picture after I make a coloring sheet?

GlueStick removes hidden location and device information from your picture before using it, and does not store your original picture after the coloring sheet is generated.
