Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use copyrighted or trademarked images?

No. Only upload images that you own or have explicit rights to use. This includes personal photos, your own artwork, images you've purchased licenses for, or content in the public domain. Using copyrighted or trademarked material without permission is illegal and against our terms. All use is at your own risk, and DIYNumberPaint.com is not liable for any copyright or trademark infringement.

Do I have to pay?

No, it's completely free. DIY Number Paint is offered at no cost and requires no account, subscription, or payment. There are no hidden fees or upsells. Simply open the generator and start creating.

What file types can I upload?

We accept JPG, PNG, and WebP image files. The maximum file size is 10 MB. These formats cover the vast majority of digital photos and images. If you have a different format, you can convert it using free tools like Convertio or CloudConvert.

What kind of photos work best?

Clear, well-lit photos with strong composition work best. Images with good color contrast and distinct subjects (like portraits, landscapes, or objects) produce the most striking paint-by-number templates. Avoid very dark photos or high-contrast black-and-white images—adjusting the color and detail sliders can help refine the output.

Do you store my images or data?

No. Images and all data remain on your device. The generator processes everything locally in your browser. We do not upload, store, or track your files or usage. Once you close the page, nothing remains on our servers.

Can I use the template commercially?

You may use templates generated from images you own or have rights to for personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use (selling paintings, prints, or templates) is not permitted unless you have explicit rights to the original image. Always respect copyright and intellectual property laws.
