Turn your photos into a real comic book in minutes. Comic Crafter is an AI comic and manga maker: pick a panel layout, drop in your photos and selfies, choose a comic art style and finish with speech bubbles and stickers like BOOM, POW and ZAP. No drawing skills needed. Make a comic strip about your friends, a manga page starring your pet, a cartoon version of your family trip or a funny story for your group chat. You bring the photos, the app brings the comic look. Comic panel templates Start with one of around 30 comic panel layouts: • Classic grids with two, three, four or more panels • Diagonal splits for dynamic, action-packed scenes • Storyboard layouts to tell a story frame by frame • Full-page panels for one big dramatic moment • Action pages that look straight out of a comic book Add photos and selfies • Snap a selfie with the camera or pick photos from your gallery • Put a different photo in every panel • Pan, zoom and rotate each image until the framing is right • Keep the original photo or turn it into cartoon art 25 AI comic and manga styles The AI turns your photo into comic art. Try a different style in every panel or keep one look for the whole page: • Manga and Manga Colored • Chibi and Anime Action • American Comic and Vintage Comic from the 1950s • Cartoon and 90s Cartoon Hero • Pop Art, Black & White, Noir and High Contrast • Sketch in pencil and Watercolor Comic • Sepia and Negative • Pixel Art in a 16-bit look • Graffiti and Paper Cutout • Western and Ukiyo-e • Newspaper strip styles, a yellow sitcom toon style and an Arabian tales style It works like a photo to cartoon and photo to anime filter, but the result lands inside a real comic page instead of a single picture. Stickers and comic effects Give every scene some punch with classic comic sound effects: BOOM, POW, ZAP, BAM, WHAM, CRASH, SPLAT, KAPOW, BANG, OUCH and WOW. Switch the sticker style to classic, neon, mono, pixel or inverted to match your art.
