AI Children's Book Illustration Generator

Add a sketch, photo of a toy or your own drawing as a reference. The model can use visible details such as facial features, colours, proportions and distinctive accessories to guide the character in the generated image. Results can vary, so review each illustration for consistency; a reference does not guarantee the same character across every scene or page.

Choose a page ratio that matches your project and confirm the final trim, bleed, color profile, resolution, and file format with your printer or publishing platform. AI output may still need manual layout and quality checks.

You can create illustration drafts for cover concepts, spreads, single pages, and spot scenes. Treat each result as a draft: review character continuity, leave space for text, and confirm the final page and print specifications in your layout tool.

Ten picture-book art styles in v1: watercolor + ink, classic picture-book, cel-shaded cartoon, pen & ink hatching, soft anime, 3D animation, paper cut collage, gouache flat color, chalk pastel, and woodblock print. You can preview the same character across all ten before committing.

You can use a previous illustration as a reference for a follow-up edit, such as adding an object, changing the time of day or replacing the background. Results may vary, so check the character and composition after each generation.

Try pen and ink hatching for chapter-book spot illustrations, or cel-shaded cartoon and 3D animation styles for middle-grade cover concepts. Choose a page size that suits your project, then check the required bleed and safe area with your printer or publishing platform.

For colouring pages, use the dedicated Coloring Page Generator. For a board-book illustration, select “Single page” and describe the extra space you need around the edges; check the final safe area and rounded-corner requirements with your printer. This tool creates illustration drafts rather than comic-strip layouts.

You can use a single-scene generation to explore an idea. Sign in to generate; the available models, credit cost and output options depend on your account and selected model. Check the displayed credit cost and confirm print requirements with your printer or publishing platform before publishing.
