PBNify.com
PBNify is one of the coolest tools for paint by numbers fans. It allows you to turn any image you want into a paint by numbers sheet. Photographs, drawings, paintings — they’re all fair game with PBNify.
First, navigate to PBNify.com. Drag and drop your image of choice into the square labeled ‘Drop image here…’. Your image will appear in the box.
The next step is to click on points of the image with different colors. Anywhere you see a variable color, click. This lets PBNify scan the image for these colors and number them, resulting in a perfect paint by numbers outline.
Once you’ve selected the colors you want, hit the ‘PBNify’ button. Your image will then be converted into a paint by numbers page! With the options above the image, you can view the original, the outline, and save your palette and image.
To save you paint by numbers, hit ‘save’ next to the ‘outline’ option. You’ll be brought to a page featuring your full-sized paint by numbers image. Right-click, ‘save as’, and you’re ready to print.
Any image will work, but it’s best to stick with something with some easily definable colors. Abstract photographs are trickier to PBNify than drawings and more concrete subjects. Test the site out, make a few pages, and see what works best for you!
