UPLOAD CHECKLIST
✔ Clear, sharp images
Faces, pets, people or objects are easy to see.
✔ Good lighting
Natural daylight or bright indoor light works best.
✔ Simple backgrounds
Less clutter makes cleaner colouring pages.
✔ Subjects facing the camera
Front-facing or slightly angled is ideal.
✔ High resolution
Phone camera quality or better no screenshots if possible unless properly cropped and of good quality.
✔ Limited main subjects (or a small group)
Keeps the line art bold! Groups are absolutely fine if everyone can be easily seen and its a good resolution image!
✔ No heavy filters
Overfiltered images reduce the quality of the uploaded image. The best quality image our designers can work with the better!
✔ Close or medium distance
The subject fills the frame without being cropped.
