Printing & File Questions

What paper size are the coloring pages?
Our pages are optimized for standard home printing (US Letter), but because they are vector-based, they scale perfectly to A4 or any other size without losing sharpness.

What file formats do you provide?

PDF → Best for flawless, high-resolution printing.
PNG/JPG → Best for digital sharing and exporting from our online tool.

What resolution/DPI are the files?
Our printable PDFs are generated from vector line art, ensuring perfectly crisp lines at 300+ DPI for premium print quality.

Can I print on other paper sizes?
Absolutely. Just select “Scale to Fit” or “Fit to Paper” in your printer settings.

Why does the page look different when I print?
This usually depends on your printer’s margin settings. Try switching between “Fit to Page” and “Actual Size” in your print dialog box before hitting print.
