## What is Paint By Number Creator?

Your favorite photo deserves more than a gallery scroll. Paint By Number Creator transforms it into a classic numbered painting you can enjoy yourself, share with family, or print as a handmade gift.

Open a picture, choose how detailed you want the palette, and watch regions and numbers appear. Prefer speed? Use Rough. Want finer shapes? Switch to Precise. Then paint digitally—fill everything at once or one area at a time—or export a crisp PDF with a color key for real paints and paper.

Why people love it
• Bring memories, pets, and portraits to life as numbered art
• Dial in 2–64 colors and A4, A3, or A2 paper for the look you want
• Rough for a quick result, Precise when every contour counts
• Flip between original, filled colors, and numbered outlines
• Playful fill modes: complete the whole picture or tap area by area
• Match paints with RAL, RGB, HEX, or Pantone FHI labels
• Export PDF with color key, print, or save JPEG views
• Keep projects in your library and pick up anytime

From rainy-day coloring to classroom crafts and thoughtful keepsakes, Paint By Number Creator makes creating feel easy—and finishing feel wonderful.

### 2/5 — So close

*2026-04-22, version 1.1.50*

Two issues plague most PBN generators. The first is fidelity of generation, which this app handles wonderfully. The second is export, which this app fails at entirely.

The only export options are PDF, with no quality settings, so fidelity is lost and numbers are unreadable, or DAT files that are completely unusable in my graphics workflow. 

It’s upsetting, how good the converted image looks, only to have it show up as compressed mess when imported into professional graphics apps. A PNG of exactly what I see in the app would work, but instead I wasted $4.99 and an hour of my life.

### 4/5 — Very fun!

*2026-03-19, version 1.1.50*

This app is fun, relaxing and can help with creative blocks. Putting in your pics and drawings and seeing them in a new dimension

### 5/5 — My favourite App for many years!👌

*2025-11-29*

I looked for an app that would help me with my Urban Sketching. I sometimes have difficulty in selecting the right colours.
I came across this app and thought I’d give it a go. The fact that I can select any of my photos and any number of rod colours for that to be translated into a paint by numbers template was an immediate winner for me.
I’m pretty much addicted as I find it such a therapeutic time killer as well as a sketching resource.
Highly recommended 😉👌

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-11-01, version 1.1.46*

I like it but I wish the completed numbers/colors on the scrolling palette would delete when completed 👍🏼. That way it’s easier to find the next number/color the to complete on the piece

### 4/5 — Presque parfait

*2025-06-04*

L’appli est vraiment très bien, mais il manque une façon de déterminer quels tableaux ont été terminés, que ce soit avec une coche ou une catégorisation des tableaux en fonction de s’ils sont terminés ou non, sinon à part ça rien à redire

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-06-04, version 1.1.46*

I am really loving this app!  Thank you! 😊

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-05-15, version 1.1.45*

I don’t recommend this purchase. The quality is poor. The features are very limiting and don’t compare to the FREE versions you can download. I’VE ASKED FOR A REFUND.

### 5/5 — I love this app! please keep it going forever

*2025-02-26, version 1.1.43*

I love this this app! It is very therapeutic and has helped my attention span, I will always support this app! Thank you for creating it.

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2024-09-09, version 1.1.38*

It was a very good price and a Color By Number App with no In-App Purchases! When I fill in a number, all of them get filled.

### 5/5 — JUST WHAT I WANTED!

*2024-03-23, version 1.1.36*

This app is just what I wanted and needed.  So easy to paint.  Finished product just the same as original photo.  Colors are incredibly beautiful.  I don’t know what the few nay sayers are complaining about.  I happily paid the small price for the upgrade!
