Templates you can actually paint
Most free generators produce slivers too thin for a brush and numbers you can't read. Ours guarantees every single region gets a legible number, no region is thinner than a brush tip, and the outline PDF is true vector — razor sharp at any print size.
Every region numbered
A hard quality check runs on every design: if one region misses its number, the design doesn't ship.
No unpaintable slivers
Regions thinner than a fine brush are dissolved into their neighbours before you ever see them.
True vector PDF
Outlines and numbers are vectors, not pixels — print A4 or A2, they stay crisp.
Frequently asked questions
Is the paint by numbers generator really free?
Yes. Upload a photo and you get the numbered template PDF, a matched color guide, and a paint list — free. We only ask for your email so we can send your files and keep them safe for you.
What photos work best for paint by numbers?
Clear, well-lit photos with a strong subject — pets, portraits, landscapes, and flowers convert beautifully. Very dark, blurry, or busy photos produce cluttered templates.
What do I get in my download?
A print-ready vector PDF template with numbered regions and crisp outlines, a color guide matching every number to a paint color, and a CSV paint list with exact hex and RGB values.
How do I print my template?
Print at 100% (actual size) on regular paper, cardstock, or inkjet-printable canvas. The template is a vector PDF, so it stays sharp at any size.
What paints do I need?
Acrylic craft paint works best. Your color guide shows every color with its exact shade, so you can buy small bottles or mix your own.
Do you keep my photo?
Your photo is processed to generate your design and is not shared or used for anything else.
