What’s new on TapColor
The main features we’ve shipped, newest first.
Last updated:
-
Pinch to zoom & trace magnifier
Pinch with two fingers to zoom right into the canvas — and drag with two fingers to move around — so little hands can color neatly inside the lines on a phone. In Trace mode, a magnifier now follows your finger and shows the guide line up close, making it much easier to draw over.
-
Tidier editor on phones
We reordered the tools below the canvas so they flow the way you use them: mode, brush, undo/redo, zoom, then colors — fewer scrolls to find what you need.
-
Comments
Sign in with Google to leave a comment on any coloring page and share what you loved about it. Every comment is reviewed before it shows up, to keep things friendly and safe for kids.
-
Trace & Free draw modes
Every page now opens with a quick “What do you want to do?” choice. Trace fades the outline into faint guide lines so kids can draw over them — great for pencil control and handwriting practice — and Free draw gives a blank page to draw anything. Switch modes any time from the left toolbar; Color works just like before.
-
Color by number on any page
Every coloring page now has a color-by-number mode — pick a number, tap the matching areas and fill the picture in. Switch between free coloring and color by number any time, right on the page.
-
System status page
Check live uptime for the website, API and image CDN at status.tapcolor.app — with a 90-day history and notices whenever we hit a snag.
-
Smoother editor
Pick a tool and it paints right away — no extra tap — and the canvas is roomier on desktop for finer work.
-
Weekly classes
Reuse one class link and QR all year — tap “New activity” to set a fresh coloring page each week, and the wall keeps every week as a growing gallery.
-
Project the class wall
A full-screen slideshow of your class wall for the whiteboard — new artworks fly in live as students send them.

Class certificate

-
Jigsaw Puzzle
Turn any coloring page into a drag-and-drop jigsaw with the new “Play as puzzle” button.

Text & Emoji stickers
Add text and emoji onto your artwork — drag to move, drag a corner to resize. They save into your PNG, print and share card.
