Great as a gift for grandparents, or an extra copy to save for later.

Question 2

Is it free to start? When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Creating and previewing the book is completely free. You only pay when you actually order a printed copy. Decided not to order after all? Then it costs you nothing.

Question 3

How long does it take to make the book?

Accepted Answer

You have a first complete result within about 15 minutes: you upload a photo, pick a story, generate the characters and review the illustrations. Most of the work happens automatically.

After that you can take as much time as you like to fine-tune the book — edit the text, regenerate illustrations or tweak details — until everything is just right.

Question 4

Can I preview the book before ordering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Before checkout you see a complete preview of the book: the cover, all illustrations and all the text. Only when you are happy with the result do you proceed to ordering.

Question 5

Can I edit the text and illustrations?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. For each page you can edit the text or regenerate it. The same goes for the illustrations: not quite happy with an image? Generate a new version. That way you decide how the book looks before it goes to print.

Question 6

What are the production and delivery times?

Accepted Answer

For orders placed before 11:00 AM, a total delivery time of maximum 4 working days applies.
For orders placed after 11:00 AM, a total delivery time of maximum 5 working days applies.

The book is locally produced and printed in the Netherlands.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Question 10

How many pages does the book have?

Accepted Answer

The book has 24 pages: a title page, 11 story pages each with a text page and an illustration page, and a closing end page.

Question 11

What is the return policy?

Accepted Answer

Our books are fully personalized and made especially for you. Because of this, they cannot be returned.

If something unexpectedly goes wrong, such as a production issue or shipping damage to the booklet, please let us know. We will of course provide an appropriate solution.

Question 12

Why can't I regenerate images unlimited times?

Accepted Answer

Creating illustrations requires significant computing power. To keep the platform fair, affordable, and stable for everyone, we apply a limit to the number of regenerations. This helps us maintain quality without unnecessary waste.

Question 13

What ages are the books suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Our books are suitable for children of all ages. Whether you are creating a book for a baby, toddler, preschooler, or older child, you can tailor the story and style so it perfectly matches your child's age and interests.

Question 14

What language is the book in?

Accepted Answer

You can create the book in Dutch or English. You choose the language while setting up the story.

Question 15

Can I include multiple characters in one book?

Accepted Answer

The book always centers on one main character, so the story can be fully tailored to your child. In addition, you can optionally add one sidekick — for example a sibling, a parent, a pet or a favourite stuffed animal.

Question 16

Are the AI illustrations always perfect?

Accepted Answer

The illustrations in the book are generated using artificial intelligence (AI). AI image generation is powerful, but not infallible — occasionally small imperfections may appear, such as a hand with too many fingers or a detail that isn't quite right.

We always show multiple variants so you can pick the best one. If an illustration still isn't to your liking, you can easily regenerate it.

If you notice a serious error after receiving the printed book, please contact us — we will always look into finding an appropriate solution.

Question 17

What happens to the photos and information I upload?

Accepted Answer

Photos of your child are not stored. They are only used temporarily to generate a description needed to create the book. Once the book is ready, the images are immediately deleted and are not reused for other purposes.

Personal data is processed as minimally as possible and always in accordance with GDPR guidelines.

The platform was developed by an expert with a background in cybersecurity, with privacy and security built into the design from the start.

Question 18

Can I use copyrighted characters in my book?

Accepted Answer

No. Books may not feature characters or material protected by copyright or trademark — for example a well-known Disney character. Uploads and prompts that put such characters at the centre of the story will be rejected.

You can of course draw inspiration from an existing art style, mood or setting. Our books focus on your own child as the main character, in a unique story made just for them.
