# Create Coloring Books AI - Complete Documentation > AI-powered platform for creating professional coloring books ready for Amazon KDP publishing. ## Overview Create Coloring Books AI is a comprehensive tool that helps users create coloring books from concept to print-ready files. The platform uses AI to generate page ideas, create coloring page images, design covers, and export files that meet Amazon KDP specifications. ## Architecture The application consists of two Next.js applications: 1. **Marketing Site** (createcoloringbooks.ai) - Landing pages, pricing, authentication gateway 2. **Main Application** (app.createcoloringbooks.ai) - Full coloring book creation platform ## Core Workflow ### 1. Book Creation Users start by either: - Generating AI-powered book ideas based on themes and target audiences - Creating a book from scratch with manual title/description ### 2. Prompt Generation The AI generates coloring page prompts based on: - Book title and theme - Target audience - User preferences for style (simple vs detailed) ### 3. Image Generation Each prompt can generate an AI image: - Uses OpenAI's image generation API - Optimized for coloring book line art style - Users can regenerate or upload custom images - Text overlay capabilities for adding quotes/phrases ### 4. Page Management - Drag-and-drop page ordering - Select/deselect pages for final book - Edit individual page prompts - Batch operations - Add maze, word scramble, spot-the-difference, draw-your-own, fill-in, and text pages alongside coloring images ### 5. Cover Design - Front cover designer with AI-generated or uploaded images - Back cover with customizable text and barcode placement - Spine automatically calculated based on page count - Full wrap export for KDP ### 6. Export - **DOCX (Word)** interior export — upload directly to Amazon KDP as a Word file - **PDF** interior export — alternative format for KDP or other print-on-demand services - Both formats include correct KDP margins, bleed settings, and 300 DPI print-ready quality - Coloring pages, maze pages, word scramble pages, and text pages all export correctly in both formats - Exports are generated as background jobs and available for download from the user's profile page ## KDP Specifications Supported ### Trim Sizes - 8x8 inches (default) - 8.5x11 inches ### Margins (based on page count) - 24-150 pages: Inside 0.375", Outside 0.25" - 151-300 pages: Inside 0.5" - 301-500 pages: Inside 0.625" - 501-700 pages: Inside 0.75" - 701-828 pages: Inside 0.875" ### Print Specifications - 300 DPI - RGB color space (converted by KDP) - Bleed support for full-bleed pages ## Token System Users have a token balance for AI operations: - Image generation costs tokens - Prompt generation is included - Tokens can be purchased via subscription or one-time packs ## Key Features Detail ### AI Book Ideas Generates book concepts including: - Title suggestions - Subtitle options - Description - Target audience analysis - Keyword suggestions for KDP ### Marketing Generator Creates Amazon listing content: - Optimized titles - Bullet points - Book descriptions - Backend keywords - Social media posts ### Activity Pack Builder Generate a complete themed activity pack in a single flow: **Occasions supported:** Wedding, Birthday, Back to School, Holiday (Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter), Baby Shower **Pack contents:** - AI-generated coloring pages (costs tokens, one per page) - Free activity pages added automatically on top: mazes, word scrambles, spot-the-difference, draw-your-own, fill-in keepsake pages **Wizard steps:** 1.
