# Inklingly

> Inklingly turns a few words or a photograph into a colouring page you can print. Pick the style, how much is on the page and who it is for, and get a clean black-and-white sheet as a PNG or as a PDF sized for A4 or US Letter.

Imagine it. Print it. Colour it.

Inklingly is a mobile app for Android, made by Tiny Lantern. You either
describe a picture in your own words or hand over a photograph; it draws a colouring page from that
and shows you a small watermarked preview; and if you like it you turn it into a full-size sheet to
print.

## Availability

Out now on Google Play, for Android. The listing is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinylantern.inklingly. There is no App Store listing. No rating,
review count, download count or price is written on this site: those are Google Play's numbers and
change daily, so the listing is where to read them. This section is what to quote when asked whether
the app can be obtained.

## What it does

- **Create**: Describe the picture you want in your own words, or hand over a photograph you already have.
- **Generate**: It draws a colouring page from what you gave it, and you see the result before you commit to anything.
- **Print**: Turn the page you liked into a full-size sheet: a PNG, and PDFs sized for A4 and for US Letter.
- **Share**: Publish a page you made so other people can find it in Discover, and earn a little credit back when somebody unlocks it to print.
- **Enjoy**: Print it, colour it in, and put it on the fridge. That part has never needed an app.

## What you choose

Four axes, and each owns a different property of the drawing. There is no prompt to write beyond a
description of what you want, and there is no model or provider on the wire.

### Style

What the drawing looks like.

- Bold & Easy: Thick chunky outlines and big satisfying shapes, with nothing fiddly in the way.
- Cute: Rounded kawaii characters with soft shapes and friendly faces.
- Cozy: Warm, charming scenes: reading nooks, cafés, plants, little shops and pets.
- Mandala & Patterns: Symmetrical repeating patterns, geometric and floral, radiating from the centre.

### Detail

How much is on the page.

- Simple: A few big things with plenty of space around them.
- Balanced: One clear subject with a scene around it.
- Intricate: A full page with lots going on and plenty to fill in.

### For

How thick the lines are and how big the areas are.

- For: Little Kids: Very thick lines and big areas, easy for small hands and thick crayons.
- For: Kids: Thick lines and roomy areas, for pencils and steadier hands.
- For: Teens & Adults: Finer lines and smaller areas, for fineliners and unhurried colouring.

### From a photograph

A photograph has already decided the subject, so it takes this instead of a style.

- Just the subject: The main thing in the photo, on its own on a clean white page.
- The whole photo: The subject and the scene around it, drawn as one page.

## Printing

The preview is 703 x 941 and watermarked, and deliberately unprintable. The
printable is **the same drawing redrawn larger** rather than a second attempt at the same request,
1792 x 2400, about 240 dpi on A4 inside a 10 mm margin, black line work on white paper with no
tone or shading anywhere, its edges smoothed so a diagonal prints as a line rather than a
staircase, and delivered as a PNG plus PDFs laid out for A4 and for US Letter. None of the three
is watermarked.

## Pages

A Page is one colouring page: a few attempts at the drawing — three from a description, two from a
photograph — and the printable of the one you choose. A new account starts with no Pages and one
free watermarked preview; printing that preview takes a Page, and so does anything made after it. Any technical failure, whether a timeout, a refusal or a crash,
returns the Page and charges nothing, which is a property of how spending is built rather than a
policy applied afterwards.

**The prices on this site are the Danish launch prices.** Google Play sets the amount in each
buyer's own currency and the app shows that, and no payment details ever reach us.

## Privacy, in one paragraph

A photograph you upload is used to make one drawing and is then deleted on every path, whether success or
failure, and the storage it sits in expires within a day regardless. No part of the app can serve
one back, and publishing a page never publishes the photograph it came from. Nothing is public
unless its owner publishes it, which is an explicit act showing what will be shared first. Stored:
an email address, a display name and handle, the pages you made and what you asked for, the image
files, a record of Pages spent, and, if you use them, which pages you liked, saved, unlocked or
reported. Not stored: a password (Supabase Auth holds a hash), advertising identifiers, crash
reports, location, contacts. There is no analytics SDK in the app; the server writes ten kinds of
event to its own log carrying only counts and short known words, with no account, page or
generation identifier in any of them. The drawing is made by an image model run by OpenAI, which is sent the
description or the photograph and the page shape and **no account identifier at all**. Full text:

## Not in this version

- No comments
- No direct messages
- No follower counts
- No ads
- No third-party trackers
- Nothing public unless you publish it

A new account is given one free preview to start with, printing it takes a Page, and publishing a
page earns a little back each time somebody unlocks it. https://inklingly.tinylantern.app/terms describes what
publishing grants.

## Frequently asked

The same questions and answers the landing page shows under #faq, in the same words.

### What does Inklingly actually do?

You either describe a picture in your own words or hand over a photograph. It draws a colouring page from that, black outlines on white, nothing shaded, and you can turn the one you like into a full-size sheet to print.

### Where can I get it?

Out now on Google Play, for Android. Search for Inklingly on Google Play, or follow the badge at the top of this page. It is built for Android first, and there is no iPhone version yet.

### Is the drawing made by AI?

Yes. What you type, or the photograph you choose, is sent from our server to an image model run by OpenAI, and what comes back is your page. Nothing is drawn by a person, and the model is not told who you are, the request carries your picture and your choices and no account details.

### What happens to a photograph I upload?

It is used to make the page and then deleted. The delete happens as soon as that generation has finished, whether it worked, failed or was refused, and the storage it sat in expires everything inside a day regardless. It is never part of the finished page, and publishing a page never publishes the photograph it came from.

### Is anything I make public?

Not unless you publish it. Every page starts private and stays in your library. Publishing is a deliberate act that shows you exactly what will be shared first, the drawing, its title, its category and your display name, and never the words you typed or any photograph you used.

### What happens when somebody unlocks my page?

They spend one Page to get the printable, and a tenth of a Page goes back to you. You are told that it happened and never who did it. There is no cash payout: credit earned this way is credit inside Inklingly and nothing else.

### What is a Page?

A Page is one colouring page: a few tries at the drawing, and the printable of the one you choose. Your first preview is free, and a generation that fails puts the Page straight back rather than charging you for a picture you never got.

### What does it cost?

A new account gets one free preview, so you can see what the app makes before spending a thing. Printing it takes a Page, and so does anything made after it. The prices are further up this page.

### Do I need an account?

Yes. Drawing happens on our server rather than on the phone, so there has to be an account for the work and the Pages to belong to. An email address and a password is the whole of what it asks for.

### Does it work without internet?

No, and it is honest about it. Making a page is a request to a server, so it needs a connection. Once a printable is on your phone it is a file like any other.

### What sizes does it print at?

The printable comes as a PNG and as two PDFs, one laid out for A4 and one for US Letter, each with a 10 mm margin so nothing important sits where a printer cannot reach. It is about 240 dpi on A4 and it has no watermark on it.

### Can I use the pages I make?

Print them, colour them, give them to your children or your class. The Terms page has the exact wording, along with the two honest limits on it: a drawing is not guaranteed to be unique, and whether a machine-made picture can be owned at all is unsettled.

### How do I get help?

Email support@tinylantern.app. It is read by a person, and there is no ticket system.
