Coloring Page Maker
Chrome extension

Right-click an image, get a coloring page

The extension adds one entry to Chrome's image context menu. Click it and the editor opens in a new tab with that image ready to convert — still processed entirely on your own device.

How it works

  1. Right-click any imageThe menu entry appears only on images, not on text, links, or empty page area.
  2. Choose "Create coloring page"The extension reads the address of that image and nothing else about the page.
  3. The editor opens in a new tabIt loads the image and shows the outline preview, where you can adjust detail, thickness, and page size as usual.
  4. Download your PDF or PNGSame local pipeline, same absence of uploads.

What the extension can and cannot see

Browser extensions are worth being suspicious of, so it is worth being precise about this one. It requests exactly two permissions:

  • contextMenus — permission to add an entry to the right-click menu. This is what makes the feature exist.
  • activeTab — a temporary, per-invocation grant for the tab you are currently looking at, given only when you actually click the menu entry.

It does not request access to all websites, does not read page content, does not observe your browsing, and stores nothing. There is no background script watching what you do; the code runs when you click the menu item and stops immediately afterwards.

The image itself is never handled by the extension. It passes the image address to the editor tab, and that tab fetches and converts the picture locally. The privacy policy covers the site side in full.

Availability. The extension is being prepared for submission to the Chrome Web Store and is not published yet. The editor at coloringpage.design/app works today and does not depend on it.

The one limitation to expect

Some images will refuse to load. When your browser fetches an image from a different site, that site gets to say whether its content may be read programmatically, and a great many say no. The editor will tell you when this happens and suggest the alternative: save the image, then choose it from your device.

The obvious workaround would be to fetch the image through a server of ours and hand the bytes to the page. We will not do that. It would mean every image anyone converts passes through infrastructure we operate, which is exactly the arrangement this product exists to avoid.

Frequently asked questions

What permissions does the extension need?

Two, both narrow: contextMenus, to add the right-click entry, and activeTab, which grants access only to the tab you are on and only when you invoke the extension. It does not request access to all websites, your browsing history, or persistent storage.

Does the extension send images anywhere?

No. It reads the address of the image you right-clicked and opens the editor with that address. The image itself is fetched and converted by the editor tab on your own device. The extension never handles image content and has no network destination of its own.

Why does it sometimes say the image could not be loaded?

Because the site hosting the image declined to let another site read it. That is a browser security rule the extension deliberately does not work around, since the only way to do so would be to route your image through a server. Saving the picture and choosing it from your device always works.

Do I need the extension?

No. It is a convenience for people who convert images from the web often. Everything it does can be done by saving the picture and choosing it in the editor.
