The personalized coloring book, made from your photos

A coloring book where every drawing is one of your memories. Petit Pinceau redraws your own photos as coloring pages: the real faces, the real postures, the real moment. As a bound book delivered to your door from €29.99, or as a downloadable digital version from €6.99.

How it works

You choose a format, upload your photos, and each one becomes two pages. On the left, the keepsake page: your photo redrawn as a soft color illustration, colored-pencil style. On the right, the coloring page: the same scene as black outlines, just the contours, ready for pencils and markers. Our models redraw each image, then every page is reviewed by hand before printing: no distorted faces, no open lines.

What makes this coloring book different

It's not a generic coloring book: it's grandma blowing out the candles, the dog running on the beach, brother and sister on the bike. Your child doesn't color an unknown character, they color their own life, and the keepsake page opposite shows the moment as it was. It's our most open range. If you'd rather have guided coloring, have a look at color by number or dot to dot: same photos, a different way to play.

Who it's for

For children, who recognize their everyday life on every page and make their memories their own by coloring them. For adults, who turn it into a quiet activity or an object to pass on. And as a gift, for a birthday or the holidays: a personal attention unlike any other book, one that stays on the living-room shelf long after the pencils.

Frequently asked questions

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, delivery included: €29.99 for 6 photos (12 pages), €44.99 for 12 photos (24 pages) and €64.99 for 24 photos (48 pages). As a downloadable digital version: €6.99, €11.99 and €19.99.

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 cover. 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 €6.99. 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.

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 (1 swap included on the 6-photo format, 2 on the 12, 4 on the 24). And before any printing, our team reviews every book to check the faces and the lines.
