Frequently Asked Questions
What is an image credit?
1 image credit = 1 illustration. A typical picture book has 8-12 pages, plus 1-2 character images, so you need about 10-15 credits per book.
What's the difference between page options?
Free users and users with less than 300 credits can create books with 8 or 12 pages. 16-page books are available for Creator/Studio subscribers or users with 300+ credits, allowing for longer, more detailed stories.
What's the difference between subscription and credit packs?
Subscriptions give you fresh credits every month at a lower per-image cost. Credit packs are one-time purchases that never expire - perfect if you create books occasionally.
Do unused subscription credits roll over?
Subscription credits refresh each month and don't roll over. If you need credits that never expire, consider our credit packs.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes! You can cancel anytime. You'll keep access to your remaining credits until the end of your billing period.
What features do paid plans include?
All paid plans (subscriptions and credit packs) include PDF & image export, private books and characters, and access to all illustration styles.
Why are free books and characters public?
Free tier books and characters are shared publicly to help build our community library. Upgrade to any paid plan to keep your creations private and gain full control over your content.
Can I regenerate an image if I don't like it?
Yes, but each regeneration uses 1 credit. We recommend reviewing your story text before generating images.
Can I use characters from other users?
Yes! You can browse the public character library and use community-created characters in your stories. Each public character costs 1 credit to use. Your own characters are always free to use.
What are story preferences?
Story preferences let you customize your story's mood (warm, adventurous, mysterious, emotional), narrative perspective (first-person or third-person), plot twists, and target audience (children, all ages, or teens/adults). These settings are available to all users, including free tier.
