Frequently Asked Questions

How personalized are the books?

Every book is created from scratch based on your answers. Names, memories, inside jokes, milestones. This is not name-swapping. A completely unique story is written with original artwork, so no two books are ever the same.

Can I upload my own photos?

Yes. You can upload your photos and they will be used throughout the book. Illustrations and the cover page are created based on the images you provide, making every book truly personal.

What illustration styles are available?

You can choose from custom illustrations, photorealistic images, watercolor, cartoon, and more. Or upload your own photos for a photobook style. We support any visual style to match your vision.

Can I edit the story after it is generated?

Yes. After your book is generated, you can preview every page and make edits to the text before ordering. If something does not feel right, you can regenerate individual pages or the entire book at no extra cost.

What is the difference between PDF and hardcover?

The PDF is a digital download you receive instantly. The hardcover is a professionally printed, bound book with a premium matte finish, shipped directly to your door.

How long does delivery take?

The digital PDF is available for immediate download. Hardcover books typically arrive within 8 to 12 business days in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and India; for other destinations the estimate for your address is shown at checkout.
