Upload a photo, or take the quiz

Upload one photo so the illustrated hero looks like your child. Or skip it and answer a few quick questions instead. Add their name, their age, and what they love. Pets, siblings, and grandparents can join the story too.

The worries we hear most

Before you start, the honest answers.

Is it really that fast?

The first full draft takes about 60 seconds. Tweaking it to feel just right is where you spend a few more minutes, and that part is the fun part.

What if the art looks off?

Regenerate it. Change the style. You see every page in the free preview and you only approve when the hero actually looks like your child.

Do I need to be techy?

No. If you can answer a few questions and tap a button, you can make the book. Grandparents do this all the time.
