Your photo, as a dot to dot
Upload a photo of your pet or your family and get a printable connect-the-dots page of it: drawn as a simple outline, numbered in order and sized for the sheet. The finished picture comes on a second page, so whoever checks it doesn't have to guess.
- 25–90 dots
- 3 levels
- A4 or US Letter
- answer page included
- 3 credits
Levels
Pick the level, not the dots
Each level sets how many dots there are and how big the numbers print, so a four-year-old and an eight-year-old can both finish the same photo.
Medium
ages 6–8- About 50 dots
- 3.8 mm numbers
- Where every new page starts
Hard
ages 8+- About 90 dots
- 3 mm numbers
The count is a target. A small or simple outline gets fewer dots, because no two are ever printed too close to read.

Pages are drawn for A4 or US Letter at 300 dpi, with margins inside what any home printer can reach.
How it works
Nothing to place by hand
No tracing, no clicking dot after dot. You choose the level; the numbering is done for you.
Upload a photo
A pet, a person, a whole family, straight off a phone. One clear subject on a plain background gives the cleanest outline.
Pick the level and the paper
One of 3 levels, from 25 dots to 90, and A4 or US Letter. The photo is drawn as an outline and the dots are placed and numbered for you.

Who it's for
A puzzle of someone they know
Printed dot to dot books are dinosaurs and rockets. This one is the photo on your phone.
At home
Their own dog, the cat, the family on holiday. A puzzle of something they know is one they want to finish.
In class
Counting in order and pencil control, with a picture that belongs to the child. The answer page makes checking quick.
At a party
The birthday child or the family pet as a table activity. Print one per guest on the level that suits their age.
FAQ
Before you print
What does it cost?+
3 credits a page, whatever the level or paper, and that includes the answer page. Signing up gives you 10 credits (3 pages) with no card.
Which photos work best?+
One clear subject that stands out from what is behind it: a pet, a face, a person standing. A busy group works on the harder levels, but on Easy, with about 25 dots, only its broad shape survives.
Can I type a subject instead, like a dinosaur?+
Not yet. Dot to dot works from a photo you upload. For a picture from a sentence, the coloring page tool draws one.
What paper does it print on?+
A4 or US Letter, chosen before you make the page. The numbers sit outside the outline so they never cover the lines.
Is the answer included?+
Yes, on every page: the finished picture is the second page of the PDF and a separate PNG, and the drawing before the dots is there too.
Who can see my photos?+
Only you. Dot to dot pages are private to your account and never appear in the public catalogue.
Can I sell the pages I make?+
Yes. The pages are yours: sell them printed, as a download or in an activity book, on every plan, including the free one, with no licence to buy. The one condition is that you hold the rights to the photo you started from.
