Custom characters

Put your child, your pet or their favourite toy in the story

Upload one clear photo and we turn it into a character. We draw them from a few angles first, so they look the same on every page.

Elsie from a sample story, on three different pages.

Chapter 1

The same face on every page

Before a story is illustrated, we draw each character from the front, the side and the back. Every scene is drawn from those views and checked.

  • One clear photo is enough
  • The same look even in group scenes

Chapter 2

Pets, toys and made-up friends too

Characters can be people, animals, robots, fantasy creatures, mythical beings or something else entirely.

  • Several characters in one story
  • Saved to your account, ready for the next story
  • Describe a character in words if you'd rather not use a photo

Questions parents ask

How many photos do I need?
One. A clear, well-lit photo of the face works best.
What happens to the photo?
We use it to draw the character, and we store it privately. If you delete your account, we delete the photo too.
How many characters can I make?
Every plan includes at least one custom character, and bigger plans include more. The pricing page lists them.
