Picture books where the child is the hero.
Fiktola makes personalized picture books starring one child. A parent uploads a photo, and Fiktola draws the child, and up to three family members or pets, into a 22-page story written for them with generative AI. Families read the whole story for free before they buy, and the book is then printed as a hardcover and shipped.
From one photo to a hardcover, in four steps.
Add a photo
Pick a story world and an illustration style, then add the child’s name, age and photo, plus up to three more people or pets and a few favourite things.
Meet the characters
Each photo becomes an illustrated character in the chosen style. Parents see the characters before anything is printed.
Read the story and storyboard
Parents choose one of a few story ideas. The 22-page story is written and sketched page by page as a storyboard, free to read before paying.
Printed and delivered
After checkout every page is illustrated in full. In the US the hardcover is printed in 2–3 days and delivered in 3–5.
