How it works

Three steps from text to pages

  1. 1

    Upload the manuscript

    Save the book as a plain TXT file and upload it. It is split into chapters automatically.

  2. 2

    Choose the look

    Pick one of six styles, write your own, or extract the style from a comic page you like.

  3. 3

    Draw the chapters that matter

    Start with the opening chapter or the scene you are proudest of. Nothing forces you to draw the book in order.

Why it works

What makes the pages worth reading

Draw only what you need

A pitch needs three strong chapters, not three hundred. Ask for exactly the chapters you want and pay only for those pages.

A consistent cast for the whole book

The protagonist, the rival and the mentor each get one reference sheet that every page reuses.

Redraw without starting over

"Make page 2 darker" or "she should look angrier here" — say it and that page is drawn again.

Frequently asked questions

What file format should my book be in?

A UTF-8 plain text (.txt) file. If your book is in Word or Google Docs, save or download it as plain text first. You can also paste chapters in by hand.

Can I adapt a book I did not write?

Adapt your own writing or works in the public domain. Our demo projects use Pride and Prejudice and The Little Black Doll, both public domain.

Do I have to draw the whole book?

No. Draw any chapter, in any order.

Can I use the pages commercially?

Yes, if the book is yours, in the public domain, or licensed to you; adapting someone else's copyrighted book needs their permission. In the US the AI-drawn images on their own generally cannot be copyrighted, and Amazon KDP asks you to disclose AI-generated images.

Your story is ready. The pages are not, yet.

Start a project, bring a chapter, and ask for it to be drawn.
