Why people use it

This is not just a photo filter.

It is a paint by numbers app, but it also lets you share and post the canvases you make.

01

Turn photos into canvases

Choose a photo, set the detail level, and turn it into a clean numbered canvas.

02

Send surprise reveals

Share a canvas without giving away the full image right away. The reveal happens as they finish it.

03

Post to the feed

Put your canvas in the feed so people can find it, follow you, and open it for themselves.

04

See what people do with it

Track likes, comments, follows, reports, notifications, and completions on every post.

How it works

Pick a photo. Make the canvas. Share it.

  1. Pick a photo. Start with any image you want to turn into a paint by number canvas.
  2. Set the look. Change the detail and color settings until it feels right.
  3. Keep it or post it. Use it yourself, send it privately, or share it so other people can complete it too.
How the canvas is actually made

This is not just a filter on top of your photo. The app cleans up the image, groups similar colors, and turns messy detail into clear paint areas that are easier to follow.

Then it builds numbered regions, decides how much detail to keep, and shapes the color palette so the result still looks like your image and still feels good to complete.

Works especially well for: gifts, reveals, fan art, creator posts, and shared projects.

Ways to use it

Good for gifts, reveals, and shared art.

For gifts

Turn a meaningful photo into something someone can slowly reveal as they fill it in.

For reveals

Let the image unfold over time instead of showing everything right away.

For creators

Post your canvases so other people can find them, interact with them, and complete them too.

Privacy summary

Your photos are not treated like feed posts by default.

You can make canvases on your device without posting them. If you do post, the site explains what gets shared and what stays private.

Photos stay local by default

Imported source photos are used to build canvases on your device. If you publish socially, the current app flow uploads derived canvas assets and previews rather than the original source photo.

Profiles and feed activity

Usernames, bios, avatars, captions, comments, likes, follows, notifications, moderation reports, and completion activity power the community side of the app.

Controls and account deletion

The full policy explains sign-in, Cloudflare hosting, iCloud sharing, rewarded ads, Remove Ads purchases, local storage, and how users can delete posts or delete their account.

FAQ

Common questions.

What makes this paint by numbers app different?

You can make canvases from your own photos and post them into a feed where other people can actually complete them.

How does the surprise sharing idea work?

Instead of revealing the full picture immediately, you can send a canvas version so the image becomes clear while the recipient colors it in.

Can users discover and complete my shared canvases?

Yes. Shared posts can be discovered in the feed, and the app tracks interactions like likes, comments, follows, and completions.

How does the app handle objectionable content and abuse?

Before a public post is uploaded, the current build runs an on-device image-safety check. Signed-in users can report posts and comments, users can block accounts from their feed on that device, and the published community guidelines explain how review, removal, and appeals work.

Where can I read the privacy policy?

The full policy is available on the dedicated privacy policy page and covers source photos, social features, sign-in, ads, iCloud sharing, retention, and account deletion.

Where do I get help with moderation, purchases, or account deletion?

Use the public support page or email stevenstrange1998@gmail.com. If you can still sign in and need permanent deletion, open Profile, tap the more menu, and use Delete Account; otherwise use the public guidance for community guidelines, purchase help, or privacy choices and account deletion.
