About

Fentis

Features
Read full description

Fentis is a fantasy adventure comic studio for iPhone. It helps you turn a photo and an original comic character into one American comic style panel. The workspace uses a dark comic look, with three main areas: Studio, Gallery, and Settings. In Studio you browse a roster of original comic character templates. Each template has its own cover card and detail page. Pick a character, then upload an image from your photo library or take a photo with the camera. Fentis fuses your upload with the selected character so both appear together in one shared comic scene, redrawn with bold ink lines and comic coloring. Please upload a cartoon, illustration, chibi avatar, or game character. Real-person photos cannot be used for generation. Camera and photo library access are used only when you take a photo, pick an image, or save a result to Photos. If you want a scene that is not tied to a roster character, open Custom Create from Studio. Upload a photo from your library or the camera, write a short English prompt that describes the comic moment you want, and generate a panel in classic American comic style. The prompt is required for this path. Your upload is still the visual starting point, and the result is one comic image. After generation, the result page lets you save the image to Photos or share it through the system share sheet. Saved works also appear in Gallery, where you can open a record, save it again, or delete it from your shelf. Before each generation, the app asks you to confirm. If generation fails, coins used for that attempt are returned. Fentis is not a free app. Paid content and paid features are sold inside the app through coins and auto-renewable subscriptions. You can buy coins on the coins page. Generating images and videos consumes coins. Prices are shown in the app and charged through your Apple ID. A subscription gifts coins. While a subscription is active, creating a comic panel does not spend coins. You can restore a previous subscription from the subscription page. Subscriptions renew automatically. After you confirm a purchase, payment is charged to your Apple ID. Renewal occurs within 24 hours before the current period ends unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours earlier. You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions. Fentis does not collect users' personal information. Fentis does not collect face information or facial features. The app does not share personal information with third parties. You can read the Privacy Policy, User Agreement, and subscription agreement from Settings or the subscription page before you buy. Fentis is a focused comic image studio. Browse original characters, upload a non-real image, generate a comic panel, keep it in Gallery, and save or share it when you want.
