How it works

  1. Polaroid of a child's photo ready to be turned into a colouring page

    1. Upload your photos

    Your favourite memories, straight from your phone or computer.

  2. The photo redrawn as the book's colour keepsake page

    2. We draw your pages

    Each photo becomes a keepsake page and a colouring page, checked by hand.

  3. The finished book, checked online before printing

    3. You check, we redraw

    Before we print, preview the whole book online and ask for a redraw or a new photo at no extra cost.

  4. Delivery truck bringing the book to your door

    4. We print and ship

    Printed near you, just for you, then shipped within 5 to 7 business days.

The transformation

An example: a family photo becomes two pages

Here is what a real photo looks like once we're done with it: the original photo, the colour model page, and an outline activity page to colour.

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 colour 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 colour drawings and the child who gets to colour 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. »

Product quality and a brilliant concept

« An intuitive and very clear interface. You can change your photos before confirming, personalise your text, and see a preview of what the book will look like. The book itself is high quality, especially the printing, which is excellent. The concept is brilliant. Mine is a gift, and I know it will make people happy. I recommend it. »

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

What is the Pinso Album?

It's an activity book made from your own photos where you choose the type of each page. For every photo, you decide: line-art colouring, colour by number or dot-to-dot. The book mixes all three activities, in the order and proportions you like. One book, three games.

How is it different from the other ranges?

The other ranges offer a single activity for the whole book: all line-art colouring, all colour by number, or all dot-to-dot. The Pinso Album lets you mix and match: an easy outline page for toddlers, a dot-to-dot page for older kids, a colour-by-number page for variety. It's ideal when gifting to siblings of different ages, or to avoid the monotony of a single activity.

How do I choose the type of each page?

When you add your photos, each photo shows a small selector: line, number or dots. You choose page by page, or apply one type to all in a click. You can also change your mind later, from your tracking space, as long as the book hasn't gone to print.

How much does the Pinso Album cost?

As a printed and bound book, free delivery: £19.99 for 6 photos (12 pages), £34.99 for 12 photos (24 pages), £51.99 for 24 photos (48 pages). As a downloadable digital version: £5.99, £9.99, £16.99.

What age is it for?

That's exactly the strength of the mixed book: it fits every age at once. A line-art page works from 2-3, colour by number and dot-to-dot from 4-5 (number recognition). By mixing, a single book entertains a little one and an older child.

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 hardback. Manufacturing is handled by our printing partner, as close as possible to the delivery address.

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

Once your pages are generated, you have a window to swap a photo or change a page's type from your tracking space (2 edits included on the 6-photo format, 4 on the 12, 8 on the 24). And before any printing, our team reviews every book.
