Paste your finished manuscript. Illustrate My Story suggests natural reading beats for you to review, keeps the same character on every page, and returns a book that stays editable — words, crops, page order, and every saved version.
“Lina and the Lantern Library” arrived as pasted text. The studio split it into twelve reading beats, kept the same heroine on every page, and left every word editable.
Every evening, Lina and Pip waited for the story boat beneath a sleeping lighthouse. The keeper had one lantern left, but the library shelves and the harbor were both going dark.
The manuscript stays exactly as written. Nothing is rewritten or summarized.
Each beat becomes one page turn. Beats can be moved and merged before any art exists.
At dusk, Lina and Pip watched the story boat return through the harbor mist.
The words sit in the layout, not inside the art, so they stay editable after generation.
Choose the reading age, length, and art style. The browser suggests page turns; your private workspace recalculates them from the complete manuscript before paid art is made.
See where every sentence lands before any art exists — and move it if the pace feels wrong.
Approve the face, outfit, and palette once. Every page keeps them.
Repaint a small area — a hand, a lantern, a shadow — without redrawing the whole page.
Rewrite the text, crop, reorder pages, and nudge the art without paying anything.
Compare each revision side by side and bring back the one that worked.
A finished manuscript becomes a paced picture-book sequence with a locked heroine, a recurring lighthouse library, and editable typography.
A classroom script becomes eight clear visual cards for naming intensity without assigning a good or bad label to a feeling.
A lyrical fantasy manuscript is separated into page turns, quiet spreads, and reveal moments before the rest of the book is generated.
The important input is a complete manuscript, not a clever prompt. Paste the story, choose the reading age, the number of illustrated pages, and the art direction, then inspect a suggested set of page turns. Your private workspace recalculates the plan from the complete manuscript before paid art is made. The free preview then shows two private, watermarked images: a cover direction and one inside page built from your text.
If you already know where the pages break, mark them and they are preserved exactly. Otherwise the studio proposes a split for you to review. Illustration planning describes what each page should show while leaving the writing untouched — no silent summarizing, no simplified facts, no reveal moved to the wrong page. That distinction matters to authors, editors, and teachers alike.
The approved direction records the face, hair, clothing, proportions, and palette. The cover and inside-page sample test it in two different compositions. If it holds, the same rules carry through the remaining pages. If a page drifts later, repaint the problem area on that page alone — the earlier version stays saved, so an experiment never costs you a page that already worked.
Your signed-in workspace keeps the manuscript, the approved plan, every page, and every revision together in one private project. Read the book as a sequence, compare versions, then download it as a PDF or as individual images. Because the words live in the layout rather than inside the art, an author can fix a line break, a teacher can enlarge the type, and neither pays for a new illustration.
The free cover and first inside page leave 11 pages to generate. Credit packs start at $14.99; unused balance stays in your account. A book generated entirely from scratch uses 14 credits, about $2.80 at the Starter rate.
You paste a finished story. The studio suggests natural reading beats, then shows a free cover direction and one inside-page sample. Those two images establish the character and visual direction before you decide whether to generate the remaining pages.
No. Your manuscript is kept word for word. If you already know where the pages should turn, mark the breaks and they are preserved exactly. Otherwise the studio proposes where each page could turn, and you can move any sentence before art is generated.
You approve the face, outfit, proportions, and palette from the free cover direction and inside-page sample. The remaining pages use that approved direction. If one page drifts, you can fix that page alone without redrawing the book.
The free preview supplies the cover and first inside page. Finishing the remaining eleven pages of a first 12-page project uses 11 credits, about $2.20 at the Starter rate. Credit packs begin at $14.99; unused credits stay in your account. A book generated entirely from scratch is 14 credits, about $2.80.
Yes. A short lesson script or routine can become a sequence of illustrated cards or a printable booklet. Labels, questions, and bilingual text stay as real, editable text on the page rather than being baked into the art, so you keep instructional control.
Your manuscript remains yours; the service never claims authorship of your writing. You are responsible for reviewing generated art before publishing or classroom use, and your private projects never appear in the public gallery or in search results.
