Create a Children's Book with AI
Your own story — not a template with the name swapped in.
Most personalized books are one pre-written story with your child's name dropped into it. Magical Story writes an original story instead: upload a photo, describe what should happen, and the AI writes and illustrates a book that has never existed before. Then you edit every word and regenerate any page until it is exactly how you imagined it.
How to create your children's book
- 1
Upload a photo
One clear photo per character. Your child, siblings, grandparents — up to 10 people, each recognizable on every page.
- 2
Describe your story
Pick from 170+ themes or describe your own idea: a first day at school, a lost tooth, a dragon in the garden. The story is written around it.
- 3
AI writes and illustrates
An original story with matching illustrations in your chosen art style, in German, English, French or Italian, at your child's reading level.
- 4
Edit until it is right
Rewrite any sentence, regenerate any illustration, fix a single character on a single page. Then read it on screen or order it printed.
Edit Every Word
Every page of text is fully editable. Change names, rewrite sentences, adjust the story to fit your family perfectly. The AI writes the first draft — you make it yours.
- ✓Click on any text to edit it directly
- ✓Rewrite entire paragraphs or fix individual words
- ✓Adjust reading level for your child's age
Shape Every Image
Don't like how a scene looks? Describe what you want changed, and a new illustration is generated in seconds. Change the setting, adjust character positions, or try a completely different scene.
- ✓Describe changes in your own words — "make the sky bluer" or "add a rainbow"
- ✓Reimagine entire scenes with a new description
- ✓Keep regenerating a page until it's exactly right
Consistent Characters
Upload a photo once, and your child appears consistently throughout the book. If a character doesn't look quite right on one page, fix just that page without affecting the rest.
- ✓AI maintains character appearance across all pages
- ✓Fix individual characters on specific pages
- ✓Add up to 10 family members as characters
170+ Themes
From pirate adventures to stories about the first day of school. Each theme is thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate language and engaging plots.
- ✓Adventure, fantasy, birthday, bedtime stories
- ✓Life challenges: new sibling, dentist visit, overcoming fears
- ✓Local stories: Swiss cities, landmarks, and traditions
8 Art Styles
Choose from Pixar-style 3D, watercolor, comic, anime, realistic, and more. Every style is applied consistently across all pages.
Questions about creating a book
Can I write my own story, or do I pick from templates?
You describe the story you want and the AI writes it. Themes are starting points, not fixed texts — two books on the same theme come out as different stories. You can also edit every sentence afterwards.
What does the AI actually do?
It writes the text and generates every illustration. Your uploaded photo is used to keep each character looking consistent across all pages, rather than pasting the photo into the book.
How long does it take to create a book?
The first version is ready in a few minutes. Editing and regenerating pages takes as long as you want to spend on it.
What does it cost?
The first story is free, with no account required. After that it is CHF 9.90 for a digital book and from CHF 37 for a printed hardcover.
