How it works

The tool analyses an image in three ways: how many distinct fillable regions it has, how dense the line work is, and how small the smallest detail areas are. Each of those produces a 0-100 sub-score; the average becomes the overall difficulty score.

  • Beginner (0-25) — large simple shapes, thick lines — toddlers and pre-schoolers
  • Easy (25-45) — moderate detail, kid-friendly
  • Intermediate (45-65) — many regions, fine detail
  • Advanced (65-85) — mandala/zentangle level — teens and adults
  • Expert (85-100) — extreme detail — adult colourists only

Why we built this

Teachers and parents constantly ask which coloring pages are appropriate for which age. We built a fast, free tool that gives a defensible answer without any signup. Use it on our pages or anyone else's — we don't care.
