Personalised illustrated books

How does it work?

You choose the story, introduce your loved ones, and the Studio draws them page after page in the style of your choice. You read it through, make any changes, and only order once you love the book.

Step 1 · The story

Choose a story written for them.

Every story is a real tale, written to be read aloud: a beginning, an adventure, an ending that makes you smile, and refrains children end up reciting by heart. Choose it by age, occasion or the people you want to bring together.

  • A part for everyone. The hero, a best friend, grandma, the teddy bear: every character in the story is one of your loved ones.
  • Text that adapts. “Hero” or “heroine”, “he” or “she”: the text follows the people you introduce, with nothing to rewrite.
  • The book format. Then choose the printed edition or the PDF book, with a preview of the result.

Step 2 · The style

Choose the illustration style.

Modelling clay, watercolour, manga, comics, 3D animation… The style you choose applies to the whole book, from the cover to the last page: your loved ones keep the same face from one scene to the next.

Step 3 · The characters

Introduce your loved ones.

For each character: a first name, an age and a photo. An everyday photo taken on a phone is enough, as long as the face is sharp and well lit.

  • Children, parents, grandparents. Several loved ones can appear in the same book.
  • The teddy bear or the family pet. A soft toy or a cat can become a character in its own right.
  • Photos that stay private. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB. They are only used to draw the characters and are never published.

Step 4 · The Studio

The Studio draws your book.

  • A free portrait of each character As soon as the Studio opens, each character gets a portrait in the book’s style. It serves as a model so everyone stays recognisable from page to page.
  • Illustrations, page by page Create one page, a double page or the whole book. The number of tokens is shown before every illustration.
  • The text already laid out The story arrives fully written, with your loved ones’ names, ready to be read.
  • A dedication and a heroes page A few words of your own at the start, and your characters introduced at the end of the book.

Step 5 · Changes

Everything can be changed.

Nothing is final before printing: until you order, every page can still be edited. Your project is saved as you go: pick it up whenever you like from “My creations”.

  • Rewrite a text, by hand or with help from AI
  • Regenerate an illustration you don’t like
  • Change the layout, margins and font
  • Add a double page that tells a moment of your own
  • Go back to the original version of a page or of the book
  • Flip through the book in 3D before ordering

Creation tokens, fully transparent.

Each illustration is drawn to order by artificial intelligence, and we are billed for every image produced, whether you keep it or not. Tokens cover that cost, with no unpleasant surprises.

Included

The first portrait

The first portrait of each character is included. You see your loved ones in the chosen style before spending a single token.

Deducted

A discount on the book

Tokens you buy and then use for a book are deducted from its price, up to the limit shown in your basket.

Step 6 · Ordering

Printed or PDF, your choice.

Before you order, a check reviews every page: missing image, text too close to the edge, illustration to refresh. You only pay for the book once you have approved the result.

Your questions about creating a book.

Do I have to do everything in one go?

No. Your project is saved to your account as you go. You will find it in “My creations” and can pick it up whenever you like.

Who can be the hero of the book?

A child, an adult, a grandparent, even a teddy bear or a pet. Several loved ones can appear together: each character has a part in the story.

Which photo should I choose?

A recent photo where the face is sharp, well lit and not too small. A phone photo is perfectly fine; there is no need for a professional photographer.

What if I don’t like an illustration?

Regenerate it from the Studio. The token cost is shown before you start the new version, and a generation that fails is refunded.

When do I pay for the book?

Only when you order, after browsing and approving every page. Creation tokens are paid separately, and those you bought and used for this book reduce its price. All questions.
