Frequently asked questions

Color Garden is coming soon to the App Store for iPad and iPhone. There is no release date yet.

iPad and iPhone running iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. Apple Pencil works on iPads that support it, and fingers work just as well.

It is free to download. A good set of pictures and every tool, color and brush are free. A Premium subscription ($3.99 a month or $19.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial) unlocks all of the pictures. Turning your own photos into coloring pages is separate: every account gets 2 free photo pages to try, then uses optional credit packs. Prices shown are planned US prices; the App Store shows the final price before you buy.

A grown-up opens the Grown-ups area, passes the adult check, and picks or takes a photo. The app shrinks the photo and removes its hidden details, such as location. It goes through a safety check, an AI service draws a clean black-and-white coloring page, the result is checked again, and then you can save it to My Photos. Your child can color it like any other page.

Each account gets 2 free photo pages to try, once. After that, photo pages use credits. Credits are only used if you choose to buy a pack.

A Standard page costs 4 credits. Detailed and Scene pages cost 8 credits. Packs are 12 credits for $1.99, 40 credits for $4.99, 100 credits for $9.99. If a page cannot be made, your credits are returned.

No. Our server handles a photo in memory only while the page is being made, then discards it. It is never written to disk or kept in our logs. The finished coloring page is saved only on your device, and only if you tap Save. An outside AI service does the drawing, so read the privacy page for exactly what it receives.

Credit packs can't be shared through Family Sharing; that's an Apple rule for this kind of purchase. Credits stay with the device they were bought on, so each family member's device has its own balance. Buy credits on the device that will make the coloring pages.

No. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no names and no email addresses for kids. The app makes a random anonymous number on your device so credits and free tries can be counted. It is not linked to who you are.

No ads, no tracking, and no analytics or advertising tools in the app. This website sets no cookies and uses no ads or cross-site tracking.

Only grown-ups. Everything that costs money or sends anything off the device sits behind an adult check: a short challenge that is easy for an adult but hard for a young child, or use Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode if you turn that on.

We design for ages 3 to 8. Toddlers enjoy tapping big shapes to fill them, and older kids enjoy brushes, paint by number and story mode. Grown-ups are welcome to color too.

Yes, any time in your Apple Account settings. Apple handles billing and renewals. Your own saved drawings stay yours.

Coloring the built-in pictures, story mode and paint by number work on the device. Making a photo coloring page needs an internet connection.

In the app: Grown-ups area, then Settings, then Privacy, then Delete my photo data. Or email us with your support code. The privacy page explains what is removed and what is kept to prevent fraud.
