Downloading Coloring Pages
Beginning in March of 2017, all printable coloring products are delivered as PDF files so you no longer need to deal with zip files. In some rare instances, you may still receive a zip file, and some products are offered with the same content in an optional zip file.
Zip Files
If the coloring pages are delivered as a zip file, it should be saved to your computer, cloud storage, or mobile device. You will receive an instant download after your purchase and the download link(s) are also sent by email if you went through the checkout process.
Please open and check your files immediately upon receipt of your download links. The links you receive have an expiration and are only for your own use. Make a note of where you saved the file so you can find it later. Support will be provided within 30 days of purchase if you do not find the answers you need in this help section. Visit the article below if you only have access to a mobile device and need help extracting zip files.

The zip file will contain a clean, black and white printable PDF of the coloring page, without the textured background and banner as shown in our preview images.
PDF Files
OrnaMENTALs coloring pages are sent as fully scalable vector PDF files, which means it will print with crisp lines at any size. (A minimum size of about 8 inches across is recommended for the best coloring experience.) The coloring pages you purchase can be printed multiple times and enjoyed countless times for your personal and non-profit use!
To print, You will need a PDF reader program or app such as Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, or PDF-XChange Viewer (all free). Most computers will have Adobe Reader already installed. I recommend using the software’s print option for “Fit to printer margins” and “automatically center” when printing on standard letter-sized paper.
Important! Be sure to download the PDFs and open in a proper PDF viewer. Do not print from your desktop web browser. In order to retain full quality, these files are not optimized for web viewing.
