Every preview below is the same photograph, redrawn. Not swatches, not drawings of what a style is like — the real thing each one made, which is the only fair way to compare 59 of them.

Coloring Book

Outlines with nothing filled in, drawn to be printed and colored. The styles differ in how much of the photo they keep — Minimalist throws away everything but the shapes, Detailed keeps the brickwork.

6 activities · 3 levels each

Something to do
with the photo.

The same picture, turned into a worksheet instead of a drawing: numbered regions to fill, pieces to cut out, a maze to solve. Made from a photo the child is actually in, which is the whole difference between this and a printable off the internet.

Spot the difference

B&W or color

Two near-identical copies of your photo side by side, with an exact number of planted differences between them. Nobody has seen this one before.

5 10 15

Easy / medium / hard — differences

Maze

A maze laid over the scene, with a start and a finish that belong to the picture rather than floating on top of it.

Easy Medium Hard

Three levels

A color-by-number worksheet made from a holiday photo, each region numbered

Colour by number

Every region numbered, with the color key printed at the foot of the page. Hand it over with a tin of pencils and it holds a table for an hour.

4 6 8

Easy / medium / hard — colors

Mosaic

The same idea in facets. The photo breaks into small tiles that only resolve back into the picture once enough of them are filled.

4 6 8

Easy / medium / hard — colors

Jigsaw

B&W or color

Print it, cut along the lines, and it is a puzzle of your own afternoon. Twelve pieces for a four-year-old; forty-eight for a rainy Sunday.

12 24 48

Easy / medium / hard — pieces

Tracing

Dotted guide lines to draw over — the gentlest way in for a hand still learning to hold a pencil, and the one that ends with a drawing they made.

Easy Medium Hard

Three levels

✓ Every sheet at three difficulties✓ Jigsaw and spot-the-difference in color or black & white✓ Print straight from the app, or export a PDF

How it works

A photo in.
A drawing out.

1

Pick a photo.

Anything in your camera roll — a portrait, a pet, a building, a plate of food. Keep the whole scene or cut the subject out of its background.
2

Choose a look.

Any of the 59 styles, or one of the six activity sheets. Every tile in the picker shows what it does to your photo, so you're choosing from the result, not a name.
3

Print, share, color.

Send it straight to someone, print it, or bundle a set of drawings into one PDF for the printer down the road.

Inside the app.

Real screens, not mockups. Six of them, and everything in them is one or two taps from the moment you open the app.

Lineora's home screen, offering to choose a photo or take a new one — Start with any photo.

Choose from your library or take one there and then. The style strip sits under the canvas the whole time.

The all-styles sheet, showing a grid of styles grouped by family — The whole catalog on one sheet.

All 59 styles, grouped into five families, each tile showing what it does — not an abstract swatch.

The activities picker, with color-by-number, mosaic and jigsaw and a row of color-count chips — Or switch to activities.

One tap moves the picker from styles to worksheets, with the difficulty chips right underneath.

A finished drawing with a drag handle revealing the original photograph behind it — Drag to compare.

The original stays alongside the drawing, so you can see exactly what a style kept and what it threw away.

A finished line drawing with Add color, Print, Share and Delete actions beneath it — Print it, color it, send it.

Every finished drawing carries its own actions — add color, print, or share from there.

Four drawings selected in the gallery, with a Create PDF button showing four pages — Bundle a set into one PDF.

Select several drawings and they become a single printable document — a coloring book of your own photos.

Made for hands.

A few of the ways people have used it. Most users find their own.

— For kids

A coloring page made from their own world.

Their pet, their bedroom, last summer's beach. Print it flat to color in, or turn the same photo into a maze or a jigsaw when coloring has run its course.

— For artists

Study contours without tracing.

Use it the way figurative painters use thumbnails — get the gesture, learn the line, throw it away. Crosshatch, stipple and sanguine each read the same photo differently.

— For gifts

A handmade keepsake in under a minute.

A wedding photo as a woodblock print, a road trip in watercolor, a grandparent's portrait in charcoal. Frame it, write on the back.
