InkyCharm specializes in creating kawaii-style illustrations that are perfect for coloring. You can generate a wide variety of subjects including:

• Cute animals and characters
• Fantasy scenes and creatures
• Nature and landscapes
• Food and everyday objects
• Holiday and seasonal themes

Our AI is designed to create family-friendly content suitable for all ages.

Our lineart conversion feature uses AI to transform color images into black and white line drawings perfect for coloring. You can upload any image (photos, digital art, etc.), and our system will analyze it to create clean, printable lineart with well-defined areas for coloring. The process preserves the key elements of the original image while simplifying details to make it suitable for coloring.

The PDF template generator helps you create print-ready PDF files for publishing digital coloring books. It includes:

• Interior templates
• Cover template
• Options for different paper types and sizes

This feature streamlines the self-publishing process.

All generated and converted images can be downloaded as high-quality PNG files. Our PDF template generator creates print-ready PDF files that meet publishing standards.

For best printing results, we recommend:

• Resolution: 300 DPI (dots per inch)
• For standard letter-size pages (8.5" x 11"), aim for images around 2550 x 3300 pixels
• For A4 pages, aim for images around 2480 x 3508 pixels

Our upscaling feature can help increase the resolution of your images to meet these requirements.

Image generation typically takes 10-30 seconds depending on server load and the complexity of your request. During peak usage times, it may take slightly longer. If you're experiencing unusually long wait times (over 1 minute), try refreshing the page or submitting your request again. If the problem persists, please contact our support team.

Please note that all generated images are only stored temporarily on our servers. You must download your images after generation to save them permanently. Images that are not downloaded may be automatically deleted from our system after a period of time. We recommend downloading your images immediately after creation to ensure you don't lose your work.

The image library feature saves images in your browser's localStorage, which is a web storage mechanism that allows websites to store data directly in your browser. Here's what you should know about this storage method:

• Local storage: Images are stored on your device, not on our servers
• Persistence: The library persists even when you close the browser or restart your computer
• Browser-specific: Your library is specific to the browser you're using (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)
• Size limitations: Browser localStorage is limited to about 5-10MB depending on your browser
• Privacy: Since images are stored locally, they remain private to your device

Important limitations: If you clear your browser data/cache, your image library will be lost. The library won't sync between different browsers or devices. Due to size limitations, you can only store a limited number of images.
