Can you sell AI coloring books on Amazon KDP?

Depends

Yes, if you disclose the AI images and your image tool's plan allows selling. KDP counts AI interior images as AI-generated content. Book Bolt, which makes coloring books, says you keep rights in its AI content, but it makes no promise that you can sell it and doesn't expressly license its own templates for books you sell.

Quick answers

Do AI coloring pages need an AI disclosure on KDP?

Yes. KDP requires you to disclose AI-generated images, including interior images, when you publish.

Can I use Book Bolt for coloring books I sell?

Book Bolt says you keep rights in content you create with its AI features, subject to the AI providers' terms (OpenAI and Leonardo.ai). It makes no promise that you can commercially exploit AI output, and its terms don't say whether you can sell books built from its own templates and graphics.

Which image tools let you sell coloring pages?

Midjourney, Leonardo and Recraft do on paid plans. ChatGPT, Ideogram and Adobe Firefly also allow it on free plans. Leonardo and Recraft free tiers don't.
