Fill works best on clean outlines. If a color spills across the whole page, the lines have a gap: undo it and close the gap in your image.

Use the tool above, then read on for tips on coloring digitally and ideas for the designs you can upload.
Is Printing Not Always an Option?
Printable coloring pages are great, but there are many times when printing does not work:
- No printer or no ink: a common problem, especially when you want to color right now.
- Wasted paper: a mistake means printing the page again.
- On the go: you are traveling, waiting or relaxing on the couch with only a phone or tablet.
- Mess and supplies: markers and paint are not always practical with young kids or in small spaces.
- Your own artwork: you have a drawing or design of your own and want to try colors on it before you commit.
Finding a Good Online Coloring Tool
If you have searched for coloring pages to color online, free online coloring or a way to upload your own picture to color, you have probably run into these frustrations:
- App downloads and accounts. Many options ask you to install an app or sign up before you can color a single page.
- Subscriptions and locked pages. The best pages and colors are often behind a paywall.
- Only built-in pictures. Many sites let you color only the pages they provide.
- Hard to use on a phone. Tiny buttons and slow pages make coloring feel like work.
- Cluttered pages. Pop-ups and too many ads get in the way.

Do's and Don'ts for Coloring Online
Do
- Do upload a clear, high-contrast design. Sharp black outlines on white are easiest to work with.
- Do zoom in on small areas for neat results on a phone.
- Do pick your palette first. A few colors that go together look better than every color at once.
- Do use a stylus or a steady finger on a tablet for more control.
- Do try several color schemes. You can experiment without wasting any paper.
Don't
- Don't upload a blurry or very dark photo. It is hard to see where each part of the picture begins and ends.
- Don't upload artwork you do not have permission to use. Use your own designs or pages that you are allowed to color.
- Don't rush. Coloring is more fun when you enjoy it slowly.
Tips for Coloring on a Phone or Tablet
- Turn your device sideways for a bigger coloring area on wide pages.
- Take a break from the screen every 20 to 30 minutes to rest your eyes.
- Plan your colors first. Our Free Color Mixing Chart shows which colors blend well.
- Start with simple pages. Large shapes are quicker and easier to color on a small screen.
- Challenge yourself. Use our Coloring Challenge Generator for a random palette and rule.
- Still want paper? Print your favorite pages and color them by hand. Our Free Page Resizer: Resize Images and PDFs to A4, Letter and More can fit any page to your paper size.
