Your best photos,
in a book to color.

Allow 5 to 7 working days within mainland France, and 7 to 12 working days for the rest of Europe and French overseas territories. That covers about a day of internal review on the artwork, then printing and delivery. We email you a tracking link as soon as it ships.

More than 120 countries. All of Europe, North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, large parts of Asia, Africa and Oceania, plus French overseas territories. If your country shows up when you enter your shipping address, we deliver. Otherwise, write to contact@petit-pinceau.fr and we'll look into it case by case.

Any good-quality digital photo: portraits, family shots, holidays, pets. The sharper and better lit the photo, the more faithful the drawing will be.

Yes. Your photos are kept for a maximum of 15 days, only during processing (generation, printing, delivery), then automatically removed from our servers. They are never used for anything else.

Because every album is fully personalised, the right of withdrawal does not apply (French Consumer Code, article L221-28). That said, if anything is wrong with the album, we reprint and ship a replacement at our expense.

Any age. Adults love it as a keepsake and as a quiet coloring break. For children, from about 3 years old for first scribbles, up to 10 or 12 for more precise coloring.

Each photo becomes two pages in the album. On the left, a simplified colour version that doubles as a keepsake and as a reference. On the right, the same image as a clean black-and-white outline, ready to colour. We check every page before printing.

We print on uncoated 90 gsm paper that takes pencils, pastels, and water-based markers well. For alcohol markers (Sharpie-style), slip a sheet of paper between pages, otherwise the back of the page gets ruined.

Petit Pinceau is a French creation: the project, the team and the editorial review all sit in Paris. Printing and binding are handled by a European print partner so we can keep delivery times and costs sensible. You get the same paper, the same binding and the same format whichever workshop ends up printing your book. We'd rather be upfront about that than promise a strict "made entirely in France" that we can't guarantee on every single order.
