How to turn a photo into a comic
Turn a Photo Into a Comic Book
Not a cartoon filter. A full 16–20 page superhero comic with a cover, panels, speech bubbles and a story, starring the person (or pet) in your photo.
Preview your first comic free. No card needed. No install on the web.
A filter gives you one picture. This gives you a comic.
Most photo-to-comic apps return one stylized image. That's fun for a minute. A comic needs the same character on every page, in different poses, inside a story.
That's what the 5-angle face scan is for. It captures the face from every side, so the likeness holds from the cover to the last page for people. Pets are added from 1–4 photos or a group photo.
How it works in 4 steps
Describe the hero
Name, powers, a few real details. They show up in the story.
Add the photo or scan
Use the guided 5-angle face scan, or start from a photo. Add pets from 1–4 photos or a group photo.
Pick a hero design
Choose from several hero looks and redo with notes if needed.

Questions
How long does it take?
From photo to finished comic in minutes.
How many pages is it?
Your comic is 16–20 pages. Paid comics can generate additional pages.
Will it actually look like them?
That's the whole point. A guided 5-angle face scan captures the face from every side, so the same face holds from the cover to the last page. You also pick from several hero designs, and you can redo it with notes.
Is it really free to try?
Yes, and no card needed. The cover and first 4 pages of your first comic are free to read, with a watermark. Credit packs draw the rest of the story, and the finished comic comes back without the watermark. Comics after it are made with credits too, and the optional Pass removes the watermark from every comic.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The web app runs in your browser with guest checkout, nothing to install. There's also an iOS app if you'd rather use your phone.
What happens to the photos?
Your photos are used to draw your comic. You can delete them from your library anytime.
One photo. A whole comic.
