Turn your story into a comic
You have the story. That is the hard part, and it is the part nobody can do for you. The drawing is the part you get help with.
Free to start. AI drawing is paid for in credits, and packs start at $5.99 USD.
Free to start. You keep your work, and you can take it down whenever you like.

Screenshots of the actual screens, in the order you meet them.
-
1
Give the story a home
A series is the shelf your chapters sit on: a title, what it is about, and how it should be read.
-
2
Break a scene into beats
Your prose becomes a list of moments, one per page. This is the step that turns a story into a comic, and it is writing, not drawing.
-
3
See the scene drawn
Each beat comes back as a page. If it is not the scene you wrote, change the words and ask again.

Let people read it
The chapter is published on a series page with a follow button and an address you can hand to anyone.

Walk through it first
Real screens, real costs, and what to do when a page comes back wrong.
How to keep one character the same across pages
Faces drift between generated pages until you write the character down once. Here is what a character sheet is, how Inkroost pushes it into every page that mentions her, and what to do when a page comes back wrong anyway.

The whole path from a sentence in your head to a drawn page you decided to keep — what to type, what it costs, and what to do when the page comes back wrong.
Read the walkthrough →Questions people ask
Can I paste in a chapter I already wrote?
Yes. A multi-paragraph outline can be pasted and split into beats, and you can edit each beat before anything is drawn.
Will the artwork match the story in my head?
Closer the more you pin down. A series style profile fixes the look; a character sheet fixes a face. Anything you leave blank is the AI's to decide, and anything you write wins over what it would have chosen.
Do I still own my story?
Yes. Your writing and the pages made from it stay yours; the licence you grant is for hosting and displaying the series here, and it ends when you take the series down.
How long does a chapter take?
The writing takes as long as writing takes. The drawing is a few minutes a page, and a whole chapter can be generated in one batch while you do something else.
What does a chapter cost in dollars?
One AI-drawn page costs 10 credits (about $0.30), so a 20-page chapter comes to 200 credits (about $5.99). Uploading art you drew yourself costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5.99.
