How it helps

Snaps every pixel to the nearest color in a curated craft palette.

Easy, Balanced and Detailed presets combine color limits and small-region cleanup.

Numbers every region large enough to hold a legible label; tiny regions still get an outline.

Download SVG or PNG, or a ZIP kit with the template, color reference and palette. Each output uses 1 credit; processing is browser-local and nothing is uploaded.

Best practices

- High-contrast photos with clear color blocks make cleaner, easier-to-paint templates than busy scenes.

- Increase the minimum label size if small regions end up with numbers too small to read once printed.

- Print the SVG at your target canvas size so the numbers stay legible.

- Match the generic color names to the closest paint you own, or mix custom colors to match.

FAQ

Why do some regions have no number?

Very small regions are still outlined so the shape stays accurate, but skip the number since text that small wouldn't be legible once printed. Increase the output width or reduce the number size to fit more labels. Use the color guide for unnumbered areas.

How many colors will I need?

It depends on your photo — the tool reports the exact count used. High-contrast, simpler photos naturally use fewer colors than busy, gradient-heavy ones.

Can this print at a specific canvas size?

Yes — the SVG is sized in millimeters from the output width you set, so it prints true to size at that width.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The photo is processed entirely in your browser. Sign-in is required only when you download or copy an output, which uses 1 credit.
