Book Creator is the simplest way for students to show what they know. Make your own ebooks, comics, journals, and portfolios on iPad, then share them as an ePub, PDF, or video. Works fully offline. Book Creator is now part of the Kami family. Together, our products make learning visible, accessible, and meaningful. ** OVER 250 million books have been made in Book Creator since 2011 ** BUILT FOR CLASSROOMS WITHOUT WIFI The iPad app runs entirely on the device, with no account and no internet connection needed. That makes it a good fit for schools with limited connectivity, one-to-one iPad programs, and students working away from the classroom. Books stay on the device rather than in an account, so there's no login for students to remember. WHAT STUDENTS CAN MAKE Picture books, comics, poetry, science journals, how-to guides, reading portfolios, class newsletters, and anything else worth keeping. Book Creator works across every subject and every age group. * Write with over 50 fonts, in portrait, landscape, or square * Add photos from the camera or camera roll * Record voice, music, and video straight onto the page * Draw and annotate with the pen tool * Build comics with templates, panels, speech bubbles, and stickers * Resize, rotate, and position everything with snap guides WAYS TO SHARE * Read the finished book in Apple Books * Export as an ePub, a PDF, or a video file * Send by email, AirDrop, or a cloud service such as Google Drive or iCloud Drive * Print with AirPrint * Publish a book online to share with families MADE FOR EVERY LEARNER Students who find writing difficult can record their voice instead. Students learning a new language can pair images with words. Students who need more time can keep adding to a book across a whole term. Book Creator has always been built so that every learner can take part in the same task, in their own way. A NOTE ON FIXED LAYOUT BOOKS Book Creator uses the international ePub standard and supports fixed layout books, including double page spreads and soundtracks. Fixed layout isn't suited to long novels where text reflows from page to page, and you can't paste in large amounts of text from other documents. BOOK CREATOR FOR THE WHOLE CLASS Book Creator online is a separate product available for teachers who want live access to student work. Teachers set up class libraries, view every book as students write, give feedback in place, and choose from hundreds of ready-made templates. Student accounts are free. The two products work independently and don't sync with each other. See app.bookcreator.com to compare them. SUPPORT The app includes a Getting Started manual. For help articles and email support, see bookcreator.com/support.
