What size should I print coloring pages at?

A4 or US Letter at “Fit to page” is ideal. The drawings scale to fill either size without cropping the outline.

Why does my coloring page print small or off-center?

That is almost always the scale setting. Choose “Fit to printable area” (not a small percentage) and set margins to Default or None.

Can I print on both sides?

Yes, but use 120 gsm or heavier paper so markers and paint do not show through to the drawing on the other side.

How do I print without the website address on the page?

Turn off “Headers and footers” in the print dialog, or save the PNG first and print the image directly — it never carries any text.

How to Print Coloring Pages Perfectly

Every page here is built to print cleanly on a normal home printer. Follow these steps for a crisp, full-page result — no cut-off edges and no tiny drawing floating in the middle of the sheet.

Step by step

Open the page you want. On any drawing, use the Print button, or save the PNG and open it in your photo viewer — both give you the same clean line art.
Choose the right paper. Plain white A4 or US Letter, 80–100 gsm, is fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers or paint, use thicker 120–160 gsm so the color does not bleed through.
Set scale to “Fit to page”. In the print dialog pick Fit to printable area (or 100% with normal margins). This makes the outline fill the sheet instead of printing small.
Turn off headers and footers. Uncheck “Headers and footers” so the browser does not add the web address, date or page number around your drawing.
Print in black-and-white. The pages are pure black lines on white, so grayscale prints faster and saves color ink. Normal quality is plenty for line art.
Print one test page first. Print a single copy to check the scale and margins, then run off as many as you like.

Handy tips

No printer at home? Save the PNG to a USB stick or email it to yourself and print at a library or copy shop.
On a phone: open the page, tap the share or menu icon, choose Print, and pick your AirPrint or Google-ready printer.
For little hands, the simple pages print great large; older kids love the detailed scenes at full A4.
Laminate a printed page and use dry-erase markers to color it again and again.
