Making coloring pages out of your own personal photos is a fun and creative way to engage kids (and adults!) with art. Instead of generic coloring pages, you can turn special memories into custom works of art just waiting to be filled in with color.

Could be neat, but I’m really dissuaded by requiring an email signup to try it out

Use a personal domain with a default address that filters to a mailbox then use a different email address for every site you use. This plus random passwords from a password manager contains the privacy leakage, blast radius of credential loss, and keeps your mail spam free.

IMO your FAQ needs an entry for: when you store uploaded photos, what will they be used for. Will my uploaded photos be used as training data for your AI models for example?

Due to high demand, the processing time is higher than usual. Need to wait for your result in email notification.

Have to send user notification in email, because the processing queue could be long.

Feels more likely this is the opposite - the "originals" look like hallucinations.. what is the rear suspension attached to on this "bmw"[0]? Presumably it's supposed to be an R60[1]. It magically has a lot more (accurate) parts in the colouring page[2] (bigger front and back fender, seat, engine gets fins, frame changed shape, tail has license plate holder and signals, the front brake is connected to the leaver via a cable). At least these six fingered people[3] deserve each other - shame she moved her wedding ring, Inigo Montoya seeks them.

First thing I wanted to do was upload a family photo for my son. But of course, I don't want my family photo used for anything...

used a fake email, but when the processing was done, it didn't work and asked me to pay for something.
