Coloring Book Images Creator

What is it?

This tool utilizes AI technology to transform your colored images into black and white line art suitable for coloring books.

What is the cost to use this tool?

This tool is free for basic use. Premium users benefit from higher batch processing limits, among other perks detailed on our Premium page. There are no other hidden fees or credit requirements for using this specific tool.

Important Considerations for Input Images

Please understand that the quality and suitability of the coloring book output extremely depend on the style and composition of your input image. For the best results, your input image should ideally be a flat-colored cartoon illustration or drawing, with clear outlines and minimal complex shading, gradients, or excessive shadows. Images with intricate textures, realistic photos, or heavy shading may not convert as cleanly into line art.

Understanding the Limitations

To ensure fair usage and optimal performance, the following limitations apply:

• Batch Processing Limits:
  • Freemium (non-premium) users: Up to 25 files per batch. This limit may be dynamically adjusted based on overall server load.
  • Premium users: Higher fixed batch limits depending on their subscription tier (e.g., Supporter: 60 files, Fan: 80 files, Sponsor: 100 files, Partner: 120 files per batch). Please refer to the Premium page for specifics.
• Per-File Input Requirements:
  • Supported formats: .jpg, .webp, and .png only.
  • Maximum file size: 10MB (MegaBytes) per image.
  • Maximum input image resolution: 20MPix (MegaPixels) per image.

How to use this tool

Follow these simple steps:

• 1) Drag and drop your input images (up to your current batch limit, adhering to format, size, and dimension limits) into the designated area. As mentioned above, this tool works best with cartoon drawings or flat-colored illustrations. While it might produce results for other image styles, the outcome can be unpredictable.
  Ensure your input files are in .jpg, .webp, or .png format.
• 2) Preview images of your uploaded files may appear; this is a decorative effect. You will see a "Detailness" slider, which is set to an average level by default. This setting should be suitable for many images, but feel free to experiment. The optimal setting will always depend on the specific characteristics of your input image.
• 3) After adjusting the slider (if desired), press the "SUBMIT" button. Please wait a few moments while the files are uploaded to the dgb.lol server for processing. Important: Do NOT refresh or close your browser tab during the upload, as this may cancel your job.
• 4) After a successful upload, a confirmation window will appear, indicating your task is queued:
  
• 5) From this window, you can either add more images for conversion by clicking the "New task" button or check the status of your uploads by clicking the "My Files" button.

Please note: The dgb.lol website uses a queue system to manage processing for all users. Converting images to coloring book style can take from a minute up to approximately 30 minutes per batch, depending on current server load and the number of files submitted before yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skip the queue or make it faster?
No. To ensure fairness for all users, we utilize a standard queue system, and no preferential treatment or paid acceleration options are offered for this tool.

I made a mistake and uploaded the wrong image. What can I do?
If you've uploaded an image incorrectly, you can remove it. Navigate to the "My Files" section and click the "trash bin" icon next to the relevant file to remove it from the queue.

Do I need to stay online on the website while my images are being processed?
No. The conversion process occurs entirely on our servers, so you do not need to keep the website open or remain online after your job is successfully queued.

How long are my coloring book image files kept on the server?
Your processed coloring book images are available for download for 24 hours from the time of their successful processing. Due to limited server disk capacity, we cannot store files beyond this period.

Can anyone else see or access my images?
Absolutely not. Your images are protected by security measures, and only you can access them through your session. These files are not visible even to site administrators. However, if you choose to share the download link with someone, they will also be able to download the files.

Will I have copyright for the coloring book images?
Yes. If you hold the copyright and commercial rights for the original images, you retain those rights for the converted coloring book versions. You are free to use these images, including for commercial purposes, under the same terms as your original files.

Why and When to Use This Tool?

There are many reasons to use this tool, for example:

• It's a free and time-saving alternative to manually creating line art in image editors like GIMP, Photopea, or Photoshop.
• Very useful for creating content for Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), especially coloring books. You have full commercial rights for the output images if you hold commercial rights for the input images.
• If you use AI image generators like Midjourney or DALL-E 3, you might get black and white images with unwanted grayscale artifacts when trying to generate "coloring book style" directly. This tool can help. Often, you'll get better results by generating a "cartoon illustration" or "cartoon drawing" with "simple flat colors" using your AI image generator, and then converting that colored image with this tool.
• You can enhance KDP books by including both the colored version (input image) and the line art (output image), providing inspiration or examples for users.
• The AI used in this tool aims to create clean, appealing lines, potentially offering a better end-user experience compared to some other conversion methods.
• You can download the output image also as an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file, which is a versatile format for further editing and scaling, a feature not always offered by other services.
• And many more potential uses!

How Good is the AI Coloring Book Creator?

The quality of the output significantly depends on your input image's characteristics and adherence to the ideal input style (flat-colored cartoons). We encourage you to try the tool and experiment with the "Detailness" slider to find the best settings for your specific images.

Have fun creating! :)
