What is the regenerate feature?

The Regenerate feature completely redraws an illustration from your story text. Unlike Edit, which tweaks small details, Regenerate gives the AI a fresh start while still following your story.

Regenerate

When you regenerate a page, the AI completely redraws the illustration using:

  • The story text on the left-hand page (to understand what’s happening),

  • The Photo you select (one of your original uploaded images, to match faces and details), and

  • The Style Guide Image you choose (to match the tone, color palette, and artistic feel of your book).

This creates a brand-new version of the page while keeping your characters and overall style consistent.


When to Use Regenerate

Use Regenerate when:

  • The entire image feels off or doesn’t match your story

  • The AI repeats a detail across pages (like the same object or pose)

  • You’ve made several edits, and the page no longer matches the tone of the rest of the book

Example:
“Regenerate this page to match the style guide image, focus on the dolphin tank.”


Tips for Best Results

  • Always include a Photo so the AI keeps your child’s face and likeness accurate.

  • Choose a Style Guide Image from one of your other spreads to maintain consistent tone and lighting.

  • Keep your prompt short and focused — one change at a time works best.

  • Add “keep everything else the same” if you like the rest of the page.


Example Regenerate Prompts

Fixing a Scene or Layout

  • “Regenerate this page with the family standing closer together, keep the same aquarium background.”

  • “Regenerate this page so the dolphin is jumping higher out of the water.”

  • “Regenerate this page with the family looking at the penguins instead of the camera.”


Changing the Mood or Lighting

  • “Regenerate this page in soft watercolor style with brighter lighting, keep the family the same.”

  • “Regenerate this page using my photo but match the gentle lighting of the style guide image”

  • “Regenerate this page with warm sunset tones, keep the same characters.”


Fixing Character or Clothing Details

  • “Regenerate this page using my uploaded photo of Sophie, make sure she’s wearing her blue jacket.”

  • “Regenerate this page with Dad’s glasses added, keep the background the same.”

  • “Regenerate this page with the same photo but without the hat.”


Focusing on the Setting

  • “Regenerate this page to show more of the aquarium tunnel and glowing jellyfish.”

  • “Regenerate this page with colorful fish and coral visible behind the glass.”

  • “Regenerate this page to include the sea turtle near the family, keep everything else the same.”


Prompt Formula

A simple structure that works every time:

[Action or goal] + [Photo] + [Style Guide Image] + [Keep the rest consistent]

Example:

“Regenerate this page using my photo of Liam, match the tone and color of the style guide image, keep everything else the same.”
