Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install Paint by Numbers?

Visit https://www.canva.com/your-apps/AAHAAFOBXnE/paint-by-numbers and click Use in new design.

How do I use Paint by Numbers?

Follow our Paint by Numbers guide to turn an image into a colouring activity, with step-by-step instructions and videos.

What do the detail levels do?

You can choose from different detail levels—from "None" to "Lots". A lower detail level generates fewer, larger regions which is ideal for children or simple paintings. A higher detail level captures more intricate shapes and details for complex artworks.

How can I get the best results?

For best results, use high-quality images with clear subjects and good contrast between colors. Keep your main subject centered and try to avoid extremely complex textures.

Can I sell the pages I make?

Yes — you'll need an All Apps + Commercial subscription. That unlocks all four Fifteen Sparks Canva apps and includes the right to sell your work while the plan is active, including on Teachers Pay Teachers, Etsy, and similar marketplaces. If you subscribed before 5 September 2026, you already have those rights.
