Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What is MyPaperPop?
MyPaperPop is an AI coloring page generator for kids, parents, and teachers. Describe any scene or character and get a printable black-and-white sketch in seconds. You can keep chatting to refine the image conversationally until it looks exactly the way you want.
How does MyPaperPop work?
Type a description in the chat — for example, "a friendly dragon reading a book in a library." Our AI generates a clean black-and-white sketch you can print and color. Keep chatting to refine it: "add a rainbow," "make it simpler," or "put a cat next to the dragon." Each refinement builds on the previous image so the character stays consistent.
Who is MyPaperPop for?
Parents wanting personalized coloring pages, teachers needing on-demand printables for the classroom, and kids who want to see their imagined characters come to life. The age group selector lets you choose complexity: Under 4 (extra simple), Ages 4-7, Ages 8-11, or Ages 12+ (most detailed).
Do I need to download any software?
No. MyPaperPop runs entirely in your browser — just visit mypaperpop.com. It is also available as a native iOS and Android app, and you can install it as a PWA (Progressive Web App) from your browser for an app-like experience.
How do I get started?
Sign in for free with your Google account. You get 3 free coloring pages every day — no credit card required. Just type a description and your first coloring page will be ready in seconds.
Pricing & Credits
Is MyPaperPop really free?

3 free coloring pages per day. They reset at midnight UTC. Purchased credits are only used after your free daily pages are exhausted.
When do free daily pages reset?
Free pages reset at midnight UTC every day.
What are credit packs?
Credit packs are one-time purchases that give you extra coloring pages beyond the daily free tier. Credits never expire and stack on top of your free daily pages. We offer two packs: Starter Pack (25 pages for $2.99) and Value Pack (75 pages for $6.99).
How much do credit packs cost?
Starter Pack: $2.99 for 25 pages (about $0.12 per page). Value Pack: $6.99 for 75 pages (about $0.09 per page). Prices are shown in local currency where available — for example, in India the packs are priced at ₹299 and ₹699.
Do credits expire?
Never. Purchased credits have no expiry date. There is no subscription and no recurring billing — credits stay in your account until you use them.
Is there a subscription?
No. MyPaperPop has no subscriptions and no recurring billing. Credit packs are one-time purchases only.
Can I buy multiple credit packs?
Yes. Credits from multiple purchases stack together in your account. Buy as many packs as you like — they all add up and never expire.
Creating Coloring Pages
What prompts work best?
Be specific about the subject, activity, and setting. For example, "a puppy chasing a butterfly in a flower garden" works much better than "a dog." You can also use our themed prompt packs (Ocean, Space, Dinosaurs, and more) for instant inspiration.
What are age groups?
Age groups control the complexity of the generated sketch. Under 4: extra thick outlines, very simple shapes. Ages 4-7: thick outlines, simple shapes. Ages 8-11 (the default): moderate detail with background elements. Ages 12+: fine outlines and rich, detailed environments.
Can I refine a coloring page after it is generated?
Yes! Just keep chatting. Say things like "add more flowers," "make the character bigger," or "remove the background." The AI uses your previous image as a starting point, so visual consistency is maintained across refinements.
Why did the AI ask me a question instead of generating an image?
If your prompt is very brief or ambiguous, the AI may ask a clarifying question to make sure it generates what you want. This does not consume a credit. You can click one of the suggestion chips or type more detail to continue.
What are themed prompt packs?
Themed prompt packs are curated collections of ready-to-use prompts organized by theme. We offer 8 themes: Under the Sea, Space Adventure, Dinosaur World, Enchanted Forest, Farm Animals, Birthday Party, Superhero Squad, and Transportation. Each theme has 6 prompts you can click to generate instantly.
How long does it take to generate a coloring page?
Typically 15 to 30 seconds. Generation time can vary slightly depending on server load.
Referral Program
How do referrals work?
Share your unique referral link with friends. When someone signs up through your link, both of you receive 5 free credits instantly. You can find your referral link in Account Settings under "Share & Earn Free Pages."
How many credits can I earn from referrals?
You can earn up to 250 credits total through the referral program — that is 50 referrals at 5 credits each.
Where do I find my referral link?

When do I receive my referral credits?
Instantly. As soon as your friend creates an account using your referral link, both of you receive 5 credits right away.
Printing & Sharing
How do I print a coloring page?
Click the print button on any coloring page. On desktop, this opens your browser's print dialog with margins optimized for coloring pages. On mobile, it opens the image for native share or print. Pages are optimized for both US Letter and A4 paper sizes.
What file format are the coloring pages?
PNG images. Every coloring page is a clean black-and-white line drawing on a white background, ready to print and color.
Can I share a coloring page with someone?
Yes. Each image has a "Share" option that creates a public link. Anyone with the link can view and download the coloring page — no account required.
Can I use the coloring pages commercially?
Coloring pages are licensed for personal and educational use. For commercial licensing, please contact [email protected].
Color & Show
What is Color & Show?
Color & Show lets you upload a photo of your colored-in page and see a side-by-side "before and after" comparison. It creates a shareable showcase that combines the original sketch with the finished colored version.
How do I use Color & Show?
After a coloring page is generated, you will see a "Color & Show" button next to Save and Print. Print the page, color it in, then click the button to upload a photo from your camera roll or take a new photo. The app will automatically crop, enhance, and create a before/after composite.
Is there a cost to use Color & Show?
No. Color & Show is completely free and does not use any credits. You can upload a colored photo for any sketch you have generated.
Who can see my colored page if I share it?
When you share a colored page, a public link is created that anyone can view — no account required. The page shows a before/after comparison with "Made with MyPaperPop" branding. Only people who have the link can see it; it is not listed publicly on our site.
