ColorCraft is tuned for the print formats KDP actually sells. Coloring pages use clean, closed line art at the right line weight for print colorability — not the noisy, gradient-heavy art generic AI tools produce. Storybooks build a character reference sheet before any scene art, so the same character (face, colors, proportions) appears on every page. Sudoku puzzles are deterministic — no AI drift on the grids. And every export is sized to a KDP trim with print-resolution images and KDP-compliant margins.
Yes. ColorCraft is one workflow for all three formats. The same dashboard, the same project model, the same export pipeline — you pick the book type at project creation. A catalog can grow across all three without juggling separate tools, separate file structures, or separate cover designers.
Interior PDFs are exported in KDP’s bleed format — every page is your trim size plus 0.125" on the top, bottom, and outer edge — so choose "Bleed (PDF only)" when you upload; KDP rejects the file under No Bleed. Artwork sits inside KDP’s safe area, with the binding-side gutter widened automatically for your page count. Cover wraps are spine-aware and include the required 0.125" bleed (front + spine + back sized to your trim and page count). Images are rendered at 300 DPI for print. You tick the standard AI-content disclosure box during the KDP upload flow.
ColorCraft is purpose-built for Amazon KDP self-publishers. It combines an AI coloring page generator, a visual book editor, a KDP cover generator (front + spine + back), and a marketing mockup tool in one workflow. You generate interior pages, assemble the book, design the cover wrap, and export a print-ready PDF — without Photoshop or freelancers.
Yes. Amazon KDP allows AI-generated content with proper disclosure. During the KDP upload, you tick the box indicating that the content was AI-generated — then proceed as normal. You may sell what you make with ColorCraft and keep the royalties; the print-ready file comes with a plan or a one-time book unlock.
Yes. The cover generator builds a full KDP wrap PDF (front, spine, back) sized exactly to your trim and page count — no Photoshop or external cover designer needed. AI generates the front-cover artwork from your theme, and a guided editor handles the back-cover blurb, the 2×2 thumbnail grid, spine title, and spine font sizing. The exported PDF is built to KDP’s cover specifications, ready for KDP’s previewer.
Plans start at $9/month, with a 7-day free trial. During the trial you can generate a complete coloring book with Paige — up to 24 pages, KDP’s minimum for a paperback — before any charge is made. During the free trial you can create your whole book and download a watermarked preview. The print-ready file comes with your plan (start it any time), or unlock just that book for $24. Each coloring page uses 1 page from your plan's balance, each storybook page uses 1 page, and a puzzle book uses 1 page per puzzle. See the pricing breakdown at colorcraft.ai/pricing.
Yes, as a watermarked preview. During the free trial you can create your whole book and download a watermarked preview. The print-ready file comes with your plan (start it any time), or unlock just that book for $24. The $24 unlock (plus applicable tax) is a one-time payment for one book, not a subscription. Buying it during your trial doesn't end or change your trial. The unlock covers the book with up to 4 more pages than it has when you buy it (up to 28 pages, if that's more). Editing, replacing or reordering pages never counts. If you cancel, your books, pages and cover designs stay in your account, and you can still download watermarked previews of your books' pages. A book you unlocked keeps its print-ready file, cover included, and so does every book once you've paid for a plan — even after you cancel it.
Yes. ColorCraft's AI Storybook Maker generates character-consistent illustrated children's books from a story brief. A character reference sheet is created first, so the same face, colors, and proportions appear on every page — the biggest limitation of single-shot AI image tools. You choose from four illustration styles (Cute Cartoon, Watercolor, Pixar-Style 3D, Anime/Chibi), then export a KDP-ready interior PDF and full cover wrap.
Low-content books are Amazon KDP listings with minimal written text — coloring books, puzzle books (sudoku, word search, crossword), activity books, and journals. They require little or no writing to create and sell well on Amazon. ColorCraft makes coloring books and puzzle books (sudoku, mazes, crosswords, word search, and cryptograms). Each book exports a KDP-ready interior PDF and a full cover wrap.
You pick the trim size when you create a book. Coloring books: 8.5 × 11, 8 × 10, 7 × 10, 6 × 9, 5.5 × 8.5, and 5 × 8 inches. Storybooks: 8.5 × 8.5, 8 × 8, 8.5 × 11, 8 × 10, 7 × 10, and 6 × 9 inches, with 8.5 × 8.5 as the default. Puzzle books: 8.5 × 11, 8 × 10, 7 × 10, and 6 × 9 inches. Interior PDFs are built at your trim size plus 0.125" on the top, bottom, and outer edge (KDP’s bleed format: choose "Bleed (PDF only)" in KDP), with KDP-compliant margins; the cover wrap is sized to the same trim and page count and adds the required bleed.
A 24-page coloring book (KDP’s minimum) with cover wrap typically takes under 30 minutes from prompt to export. A 48-page illustrated storybook (with story bible generation) typically takes 45–60 minutes. A 50-puzzle sudoku book generates in about 10 minutes. All three products export a KDP-ready PDF in a single click when you're ready to upload.
Yes. You can use what you generate in products you sell — coloring books on Amazon KDP, Etsy printables, or other commercial projects — whether or not you have a paid plan. The print-ready file comes with a plan or a one-time book unlock; watermarked trial previews aren’t for sale or print. This does not cover trademarked or copyrighted characters: our terms don’t allow generating protected content (e.g., Disney or Nintendo characters) without the owner’s permission.
Yes. The Marketing Creative workbench drops your saved cover into lifestyle scenes — coffee tables, hands holding the book, top-down flatlays, and more — for Pinterest pins, Amazon A+ listings, Etsy product photos, and Instagram. Pick a template, click Generate, and download the mockup.
Yes — every new account starts with a 7-day free trial that includes 40 generations, enough to complete a full 24-page coloring book. Trial downloads are watermarked previews. The print-ready file comes with your plan, or unlock one book for $24. We collect a payment method up front so we can keep automated abuse off the platform, but you aren't charged until day 7 and you can cancel any time from your billing page.
