When you upload your photos and story, the AI turns them into illustrations. Clear, balanced prompts help the AI create the story you imagine.
Do’s & Don’ts (with Examples)
1. Be Descriptive
Do: “Liam, age 7, in a red hoodie, pointing at a dolphin in the big aquarium tank.”
Don’t Do: “A boy at the aquarium.”
2. Introduce Characters Clearly
Do: “Sophie, age 4, curly blond hair, wearing a purple dress with white polka dots.”
Don’t Do: “A little girl.”
3. Set the Stage
Do: “Family walking through a glowing jellyfish tunnel with blue lights overhead.”
Don’t Do: “Family at the aquarium.”
4. Balance Details
Do: Page 1: “Dad wearing a green jacket and baseball cap.”
Later: “Dad smiles while watching the penguins.”Don’t Do: Repeat “Dad in green jacket and baseball cap” on every page — AI may exaggerate it.
5. Guide Style and Mood
Do: “Soft watercolor storybook style, warm and cheerful.”
Don’t Do: “Make it nicer.”
6. Keep Edits Simple
Do: “Make the dolphin bigger, keep everything else the same.”
Don’t Do: “Make the dolphin bigger, add more fish, fix Mom’s glasses, and brighten the water.” (too much at once)
