The transformation

An example: Noa's photo becomes two pages

Here is what a real photo looks like once we're done with it: the original photo, the keepsake page redrawn in color, and the outline coloring page.

Drag to compare the two pages

Every page is reviewed. If a face doesn't look right, we redo it.

The example above was made by us, with the family's permission.

Their words, not ours

They loved their book.

Incredible! My son loved his book so much he even sleeps with it. The moment he gets home from school, all he wants to do is color HIS book! He remembers every moment, every memory!

An original idea that people really love

« An original idea that people really love, both those who see themselves as color drawings and the child who gets to color in the blank drawing. Very different from a classic photo album: you bring a photo to life by turning it into a drawing, with an admirable artistic touch. »

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

What is a personalized coloring book?

It's a coloring book made from your own photos. Each photo becomes two pages: a keepsake page, where the scene is redrawn as a color illustration, and a coloring page, the same scene as black outlines, ready for pencils. You color freely, with any colors you like, and the model opposite guides those who want to stay true to the memory.

How is it different from color by number or dot to dot?

All three ranges start from the same idea, your photos turned into activity pages, but the way you play changes. The coloring book gives an outline page to fill freely: it's our most open range, where everyone picks their own colors. Color by number guides the colors with numbered zones and a legend. Dot to dot reveals the drawing by following the numbers before coloring it.

What age is it for?

There's no real limit. Large zones and clean outlines suit small hands from around 3 or 4, the details of faces and backgrounds keep older kids busy, and many adults fill it in with colored pencils as a calming activity. That's also why it makes such a good gift: everyone colors it their own way.

How much does the personalized coloring book cost?

As a printed and bound book, free delivery: 349,00 kr for 6 photos (12 pages), 549,00 kr for 12 photos (24 pages), 749,00 kr for 24 photos (48 pages). As a downloadable digital version: 79,00 kr, 139,00 kr, 229,00 kr.

Is the book printed and bound?

Yes. It's a real bound book, printed on demand on paper that takes pencils and markers well, delivered to your door. The 6-photo format is saddle-stitched, the 12 and 24-photo formats have a hardcover. Manufacturing is handled by our printing partner, as close as possible to the delivery address.

Can I try the digital version first?

Yes. The digital version is the same album delivered as a PDF, ready to download right away, from 79,00 kr. You see how your photos turn out without committing to the book, you keep the file, and you have 30 days to have it printed as a real bound book if you change your mind.

See the 1 other questions
What if I don't like how a photo turns out?

Once your pages are generated, you have a window to swap, from your tracking space, the photos you're not happy with, with a new version on each try (2 swaps included on the 6-photo format, 4 on the 12, 8 on the 24). And before any printing, our team reviews every book to check the faces and the lines.
