What you need

A line drawing

Lines only, no coloring. Clear, closed lines make the coloring more accurate.

The same picture, colored

Color the line drawing once in KidsAI — or let your child color it and photograph it again from the same spot.

Start: lines · End: color

Both must be the same picture so the video can turn the lines into color.

How it works

  1. 1Draw a line drawing in black pen, without coloring it

  2. 2Snap or upload the drawing and crop to the paper's edge

  3. 3Color the line drawing: pick a style and AI colors it in about a minute — that's your end picture

  4. 4When it's colored, tap “Make it move”: the start (line drawing) and end (colored) are already in place — generate your 6-second video

See the description we fill in

Magic glows in the middle of the page: colorful sparks hop along the lines, and wherever they land, color wells up from the lines in watercolor ripples. Background, main character and every detail fill with their own colors one by one as sparkly color dust swirls. Once it's all colored, everything moves gently and settles into the finished colored look. The camera stays still.

“Make one like this” fills it in for you, and you can change it.

FAQ

Why color it first?

The end picture is the colored version. The video slowly turns the line drawing into it, so both must be the same picture.

Can we use my kid's own coloring?

Yes. Photograph the drawing before coloring and again after, then use them as start and end. Keep the framing as similar as you can.

How long is the video?

6 seconds — enough for the color to fill in and the character to move. Switch to 10 seconds before generating if you want longer.
