How to Enjoy AI Coloring
Original drawings created by visiting children at a booth during MITOU Conference (hosted by IPA). Unexpected ideas like "a dinosaur and a bullet train" made the event a huge hit.
A first AI experience starts with coloring
Turning children's screen time
from consumption into creation.
Videos, games, social media — in an age of endless digital content, children spend more and more time simply watching. We believe that by combining coloring — a beloved pastime for over 150 years — with generative AI, we can transform it from passively filling in someone else's lines to actively imagining and creating your own.
Today, even we adults sometimes ask AI to structure how we explain our own thoughts, then accept plausible-sounding answers without checking them. We want children to learn from an early age to look at AI's output and judge it for themselves. Coloring-page line art has no color or shading. Without the distraction of a polished appearance, even young children can see the whole shape AI has created, just as it is. If it isn't what they had in mind, they can change their words and ask again. They decide for themselves which picture to choose and when to say, "I'm happy with this." We believe that repeating this process can help children develop the ability to check with their own eyes and choose for themselves, rather than taking AI's answers at face value. Our starting point is a wish to carry the culture of coloring forward in a new form for the age of AI. That's also why we recommend AI Coloring as a first experience with AI.
"I want to color a picture of a hammerhead shark riding a bullet train underwater!"
— We want to build a world where children's wildest ideas can come to life, just like that.
At exhibitions, we've watched children stay focused for over 40 minutes and light up at unexpected word combinations. "What should I create next?" — that natural loop of curiosity is exactly what AI Coloring is designed to spark. Our mission: deliver the safest, most creative AI experience for children. With a UI that even a 4-year-old can navigate, we're opening the door to creation for every child. A 150-year-old pastime enters a new chapter.
Loved by families
Kids' imagination explodes! A great app to spark interest in AI. I ended up playing along too.
A wonderful app that fully meets kids' current obsessions and wishes.
We used to have to guess what small kids wanted to draw, but this app has a kid-friendly design so they can draw what they love.
It's great that you can customize the original art!

FAQ
Q1: How does AI-generated coloring work?
A text-generation AI turns selected keywords into a scene description. An image-generation AI then creates line art from that description. Models are selected to suit the content.
Q2: Is it safe for kids? Can you prevent inappropriate images?
Yes. Safety is our top priority. We filter inappropriate words and rights-sensitive expressions with our own agent AI at the keyword stage, and image-generation models also have content filters.
Q3: Where can I check pricing?
Please check the app pages in each store for current availability and terms of use.
Q4: Who owns the copyright for generated coloring pages? Can schools use them?
Copyright for generated coloring pages belongs to Zukan.com Inc. Personal and household use is free. Educational use in school classes (including copying and distribution) is permitted under Article 35 of the Copyright Act. Please contact us for commercial or corporate use. See the Terms of Service for details.
Q5: Can we color directly inside the app?
An in-app coloring feature is coming soon. For now, you can print and color on paper. You can also transfer the image to a drawing app and color digitally.
Q6: Is there a feature to turn colored pages into videos?
We are actively developing this feature and already testing it in events.
