PennaTurn a photo into a coloring page you can print
Penna is an iPhone, iPad and Android app that turns a photo into a printable coloring page and lets you put your pages together into a coloring book you print at home.
Take a photo of your child, your dog or the whole family, pick a style, and Penna draws clean black-and-white line art for A4 or US Letter paper.
Free to try: 2 pages to start. No account needed.
How it works
Take or pick a photo
Use the camera or choose a photo from your library: a child, a pet, grandparents, a favorite place.
Pick a style
Cartoon, classic coloring book or anime, from simple outlines for little hands to detailed line art.
Print, save or share
Print from your phone on A4 or US Letter, save the page to your photos, or share it as a PDF.
Make a coloring book starring them
Pick your pages, put them in the order you like and Penna turns them into one PDF book you print at home. Staple it, clip it into a binder or take the file to a copy shop.
With Penna Pro you can add a cover with a title, in color from an adventure page or in black and white from any other page.
Draw them into an adventure
Penna can draw the person in your photo into one of 24 scenes: riding a dinosaur, flying to space, diving under the sea, driving a fire truck, shooting hoops and more.
Tap Try another scene and the same person gets a new adventure, without a new photo. Scenes work with photos of one person.
Seven styles, from simple to detailed
Cartoon outlines with big shapes for small children, a classic coloring book look in three levels of detail, and two anime styles. Pick the one that suits the child who will color it.
Printed at home, colored on paper
Every page is sized for A4 and US Letter and prints from your phone's own print menu to any home printer. The children color on paper; the phone stays with you.
