Good to know

Book specification

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

What is inside a printed book?

Every uploaded photo faces its matching colouring page. Printed books have at least 32 interior pages, including a personalised bookplate, drawing note and blank drawing pages.

How many photos can I add?

Add 1–25 photos. A5 and A4 book prices stay the same whichever photo count you choose.

Good to know

Photos and the quick sample

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

Can I see a sample before paying?

Yes. Exactly one preview-resolution sample is created from the first photo. Complete pages remain locked until WooCommerce confirms payment.

Do you generate the complete book before payment?

No. The complete colouring-page proof, print files and fulfilment work cannot start before confirmed payment.

What kinds of photos can I use?

People, couples, friends, pets, places and holiday photos can all make a personal book. Choose clear, well-lit subjects and make sure you have permission to use every photo, including permission for any children shown.

Can I make a book from couple or wedding photos?

Yes. Couple, friendship, wedding and travel photos can all become a personal keepsake. Choose clear photos and make sure you have permission to use them and to include everyone shown.

Can I use a title instead of a person’s name?

Yes. Try Our Wedding or Italy 2026 and select the option to use the name exactly as entered, without adding ’s. Titles can be up to 15 characters with that option selected. Check the cover preview before continuing.

Are adult books the same price and delivery options?

Yes. Adult and children’s covers share the same book prices, formats and available UK delivery options. Your chosen format and delivery service determine the total shown before payment.

Good to know

Pricing and 3 for 2

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

How does the permanent 3-for-2 offer work?

Buy any three A5 or A4 printed books in one basket and the lowest-priced eligible book in each set of three is free. Mix copies or different personalised projects. PDFs, delivery and coupon codes are excluded.

Is delivery included in the book price?

No. Printed-book prices and UK delivery are shown separately, with the selected service and final total confirmed at checkout.

Good to know

Payment and proof

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

How long do I have to review the proof?

You have 72 hours from complete proof release. Reminders are sent at 24 and 66 hours. If no revision or proof guarantee request is open, the proof automatically approves at the deadline.

When does printing start?

Only after explicit approval or eligible automatic approval. An open revision, guarantee, payment or technical exception blocks print.

Good to know

Revisions and the proof guarantee

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

Can I request changes?

One book-wide revision round is included before approval and print. Select all affected pages and submit the requests together.

What if an acceptable proof cannot be produced?

Open a guarantee request before approval or print. Production pauses while support reviews the project. If an acceptable proof cannot be produced from suitable photos, the order can be cancelled and refunded through WooCommerce.

Good to know

Standard and Express delivery

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

Do you offer Standard and Express delivery?

Yes. Available UK services are shown at checkout. Your chosen tier is frozen on the order and passed through to print fulfilment; Express is never silently downgraded.

When does the delivery estimate begin?

Standard and Express options are shown at checkout. Total delivery estimates are measured from order and include the proof stage. Printing begins after proof approval.

Good to know

Privacy, AI and personal photos

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

How is AI used?

Specialist image-processing services help transform the photos into line art. One photo is processed for the private sample before checkout; remaining pages are processed only after confirmed payment. Photos and private proof links are never sent to analytics.

What happens to my photos?

Photos are kept in private, non-public storage. This browser keeps only a secret Media Library access key in necessary device storage so uploads can be reused for 30 days after the latest activity. Unpaid projects become eligible for automatic deletion after 30 days; paid physical working media becomes eligible 90 days after dispatch and digital working media 90 days after release. Active support, disputes or legal obligations may extend this. Read our photo retention policy.

Good to know

Digital PDF rights

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

What can I do with the digital PDF?

The digital option is supplied for personal, non-commercial use by you and the intended recipient. It is not licensed for resale or commercial distribution.

Good to know

Damage, refunds and support

If your question is not answered here, email hello@mycolouringpad.com.

What if a printed book arrives damaged?

Contact support with the order number and photographs of the packaging and damage. Printing defects and transit damage are handled separately from proof approval.

Can a personalised order be refunded before print?

If the proof guarantee cannot be resolved before approval or print handoff, the complete WooCommerce order can be cancelled and refunded. Your separate rights for faulty, damaged or missing products are unaffected.
