Question 1

Is Coloring Book Engine a desktop app or a cloud service?

Accepted Answer

Coloring Book Engine is a desktop application. Your projects and files live on your computer. When you use AI providers through BYOK, only the necessary data is sent via your own API keys.

Question 2

What exactly does it automate for coloring book creators?

Accepted Answer

It gives you a clear six-step path: Plan, Sketch, Book, Coloring, Assets, and Video. From structuring your idea to generating line art, preparing KDP-ready layouts, generating coloring images, organizing assets for game engines or video, and creating coloring videos, the hard parts are guided and connected in one workflow.

Question 3

Is this a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. Coloring Book Engine is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no recurring software fee. If you choose to use external AI providers, you pay them directly via your own API keys.

Question 4

Can I use this tool without AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CBE supports both AI-assisted and traditional workflows—import your sketches and colored images, and CBE batch-processes tedious production steps like cleanup, vectorization, layout, and KDP-ready export, lowering the barrier for artists to create publish-ready coloring books while preserving full creative control; AI can be optional.

Question 5

Can I use it commercially, and who owns what I create?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both licenses allow commercial use for KDP, Etsy, clients, etc. You own your projects and exports. Coloring Book Engine does not claim any rights over your books or images. You are responsible for following applicable laws and platform policies.

Question 6

Do I need to add my own AI keys (BYOK)?{{BYOK}}

Accepted Answer

BYOK is optional but recommended. With your own API keys, you unlock the full assisted experience for planning and sketch generation. Without them, you can still use the software by preparing images yourself and placing them in project folders. The coloring stage uses local AI (DirectML) on your GPU and does not require external keys.

Question 7

Do I need to understand KDP trim sizes, bleed, and margins?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to memorize KDP specs. Coloring Book Engine provides presets for popular KDP trim sizes and handles bleed and margins for you. You can still adjust them if you want more control.

Question 8

Why do I need a GPU if I'm already using GPT or Gemini?

Accepted Answer

Your GPU handles the heavy lifting for coloring generation and video encoding, which saves your AI credits for where they matter most — planning and sketch generation. By using DirectML on your local GPU (6 GB+ VRAM required, supports NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel), you can generate unlimited coloring images and process videos without additional API costs. This BYOK{{BYOK}}-first approach means your subscription budget goes further.

Question 9

Which platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Coloring Book Engine is available for Windows only. Support for other platforms may be explored in the future, but Windows is the target platform for now.
