Every AI book generator has the same flaw: the child's face drifts from page to page. We fixed it. Each illustration is drawn from one locked character sheet, and an automatic check compares every page against it. Anything that slips is redrawn before it reaches you.
Upload the child’s photo and enter their name and age. The photo guides their illustrated character.

Yes. Upload a clear photo of the child with their guardian’s permission. We use it to create an illustrated character that resembles them.
The photo is stored privately and sent to KIE AI to create the illustrated character sheet. We keep the original during production and for seven days after delivery to support revisions; if a revision is open, until seven days after completion. Unpaid requests are cleaned up seven days after upload.
Timing varies with illustration generation. Follow the preview progress on screen and, after payment, the preparation of the complete book.
See the cover and first page before paying. You can create up to 2 free previews per child, with a total limit of 6 per email. After payment and delivery, your purchase includes one round of appearance and story detail adjustments for the same child.
