Creating a Children's Book
Your go-to guide for everything Chaptered.io — FAQs made simple.
How do I create a personalized children's book?
You start by choosing various story steps, uploading a photo of the person the book is about, and selecting an illustration style. Our generative AI then uses this information to automatically create a unique personalized children's book for you.
Can I see an example of the book?
Because each book is uniquely created, a specific example is not available beforehand. However, you can view already created children's books to get an idea of the end result.
What exactly do I get when I create a book?
Within 2 hours, you will receive a 24-page digital eBook that you can download and share. Satisfied? Then simply order a hardcover copy and have it sent to whomever you wish.
How many pages does the children's book consist of?
The book consists of 24 pages full of adventure, fantasy, and of course, lots of reading fun.
What does a personalized children's book cost?
The eBook for $7.99 is available immediately. If you are satisfied, you can then have a beautiful hardcover for $34.99 printed and delivered.
Can I include multiple people in one book?
Yes, you certainly can! You can add up to five different characters to one children's book. This way, brothers, sisters, little friends, or even other family members can star together in your unique, personalized story.
Can I also add animals, like my pet, to the story?
Yes, that’s definitely possible! You can add animals like your dog, cat, rabbit, or horse as characters in the story. It works the same way as adding human characters: you upload a clear photo of the animal when creating your book, and our AI will try to incorporate the animal into the story in the selected illustration style.
Can I share the book digitally?
Yes, once you have ordered a digital eBook, you can download it and share it with friends and family via email. This makes it easy to distribute the book online before you decide to order a physical version.
Can I provide my own story texts and have you create the illustrations?
Currently, it is not possible to provide a completely custom text for which we then generate illustrations. Our AI creates the text and the accompanying illustrations as a whole, based on the story steps you choose and the information you input. However, you do have a lot of influence on the direction and content of the story through the choices you make during the creation process.
Is the eBook required if I only want to order a hardcover book?
Yes, creating (and therefore purchasing) the eBook is a necessary first step, even if you are ultimately only interested in a hardcover version. The eBook acts as your digital preview. It lets you see exactly what your personalized book will look like and gives you the chance to check and, if needed, adjust text and illustrations. This ensures that you are fully satisfied with the design before placing the order for the physical hardcover book.
What can I do if my created book doesn’t load or open?
Sorry that your book isn’t loading properly! This can usually be resolved with one of the following steps. Try them in order:
1. Use a modern browser: Make sure you’re using an up-to-date version of a browser such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Older browsers can sometimes have trouble displaying the books.
2. Regenerate the book: Go to "Edit Book", make a small change in the text (for example, add and remove a period), and save the book again. This will regenerate the digital book file for you.
3. Restart your computer: Sometimes a simple restart of your computer or clearing your browser cache can fix the problem.
