Turn your photos into a comic book starring you and the characters you choose. Comicpix uses AI to create multi-page comic stories from your character images and choices. Start with one or two character images, select a comic type, and choose how long your first book will be. Add a story idea or leave the prompt blank. No drawing skills or finished script required. YOUR CHARACTERS, YOUR ADVENTURE Upload a photo of yourself or an image of an original character. Add a second character to bring a friend into the same story. A BOOK, NOT JUST A PICTURE Choose 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, or 24 pages for your initial comic. Create a sequence of illustrated pages and read the story inside the app. 11 COMIC TYPES TO EXPLORE Choose the option that fits your idea, from a manga-inspired adventure to a different comic-book look. START WITH AN IDEA—OR LET AI START Describe the story you have in mind, whether it is a mysterious discovery, an adventure with a friend, or a funny everyday moment. A written prompt is optional: Comicpix can create a story based on your selections. EDIT A PAGE WITH A PROMPT Describe what you would like to change on an individual page. For example: "Change the scene to a rainy night." Use written instructions to take the page in a new direction. KEEP YOUR STORY GOING Continue an existing book by generating more pages. Extend the adventure instead of starting a separate story every time. READ WHAT YOU CREATE Open your comic and follow the adventure page by page. Create, read, edit, and continue your book in one app. Your characters. Your choices. Your next adventure.
