Why not use a free generator?

Free generators are fine for a worksheet or a rainy afternoon. A book you sell on Amazon KDP needs the right to sell it, and pages made for print.

Typical free generator

  • Often for personal or classroom use only, so selling what you make can break the terms
  • Downloads made for screens, not for print
  • Not sized for KDP trim sizes and margins

Publish Aid

  • Licensed for commercial use: sell on Amazon KDP or anywhere else
  • No royalties or per-book fees
  • Print-ready PDFs sized for Amazon KDP

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell the color-by-number books I create?

Yes. Commercial use is included: everything you generate and export is yours to publish and sell on Amazon KDP or any other platform, with no royalties or per-book fees.

What kinds of images work best?

Bold, simple images with flat colours convert most cleanly. AI illustrations and the built-in designs are the most reliable; busy photos may need fewer colours and lower detail.

Does the PDF include the answers?

Each puzzle can include a coloured answer-key page plus a numbered colour legend, so colourists always know which colour goes where.

Do I need an account to use the generator?

You can browse this page without an account, but generating and exporting requires signing in and credits.

Can I use designs from a free online generator in a book I sell?

Check its license first. Many free generators allow personal or classroom use only, so putting what they make into a book you sell can break their terms. Their downloads are usually sized for screens rather than print, too. Everything you create in Publish Aid is licensed for commercial use and exported as a print-ready PDF sized for Amazon KDP.
