Paint by Numbers

Manual merge & split controls for paint-by-numbers regions

Auto-generated colour regions aren't always exactly what you want. Merge small or unwanted regions, split areas that are too broad, then preserve those edits in a true vector SVG.

Why region editing matters

Automatic processing sometimes leaves tiny flecks of colour in a smooth area, or lumps two visually distinct areas into one region. Most generators give you a detail slider and nothing else: you either accept the automatic result or start over with different settings. Region editing lets you fix it directly instead.

To be accurate about it: we are not the only tool that can merge segments — Mimi Panda has a segment editor too, though it processes on a server and is paid beyond a couple of conversions a week. What we have not found anywhere else is splitting a region, and free, unlimited region editing that runs on your own machine. Checked September 2026.

How to merge regions

  1. Generate your template, then switch to the Merge tool in the Refine step.
  2. Click two adjacent regions to select them.
  3. Confirm the merge — the regions combine into one, and the colour count updates.

How to split a region

  1. Switch to the Split tool.
  2. Click a region that's too large or contains more than one colour you'd like to separate.
  3. The tool analyses the region's colour variance and proposes a split.

Pair region editing with a vector SVG export so your edits stay crisp at any print size.
