About Coloring Book Engine
Coloring Book Engine is a desktop application that provides a complete workflow for creating and publishing coloring books.

The tool handles KDP-specific requirements such as bleed, margins, blank-page order and cover spine automatically. Users can also import their own hand-drawn or licensed artwork and let the application handle the packaging. The process is organized into six steps: plan, sketch, coloring, book, assets and video. Output includes print-ready PDFs and short coloring videos suitable for social media promotion. The software runs offline with no API keys or per-image costs when using local AI, and supports Windows, macOS and Linux systems with specific hardware requirements.
