Frequently asked questions

Which file should I download: PDF or PNG?

Choose the US Letter or A4 PDF when you want to print several pages at once. Use an individual PNG button when you want one full-resolution design or need to place a page in a classroom folder.

Should I choose US Letter or A4?

Match the PDF to the paper in your printer. Use US Letter in the US and Canada and A4 in the UK and most of Europe. A mismatched size can make a printer shrink or crop the artwork.

What paper works best?

Standard 20 lb (about 75 gsm) copy paper works for crayons and colored pencils. For markers or gel pens, try 24–32 lb (about 90–120 gsm) paper to reduce bleed-through.

What coloring materials should I use?

Crayons, colored pencils, and washable markers suit the Kids/simple pages. Fine-tip markers and gel pens suit the Adult/detailed pages. Test markers first, and use heavier paper for wet media.

What ages are these pages for?

Kids/simple pages suit preschool and early elementary ages. Adult/detailed pages suit older children, teens, and adults. Every design carries a style label so you can choose by skill level.

Can I use them in a classroom or at a family gathering?

Yes. Print as many copies as you need for personal, family, and classroom use. Please do not resell the files, redistribute the full collection, or repost the artwork as your own.

Why do my prints look faint?

Turn off Draft or Ink saver mode and choose Standard quality. Also check that your printer is not using an economy grayscale setting.

Why is my page cut off?

Confirm that the paper size in the print dialog matches the file: Letter or A4. Then choose Actual size or 100%; if your printer requires larger margins, choose Fit to printable area.
