Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay for the first book?
Every new account can generate five pages for free. Each page costs 10 credits.
How is my uploaded photo used?
When you generate a character, your selected photo is sent to the illustration provider as a reference. DoraStory does not store the original photo. You can remove the selected photo or delete the character image. Pages already illustrated stay in your book.
Can I see the character before I make the book?
Yes. Generate the character first and review the portrait before starting the book.
How many credits will my book cost?
The settings page shows the page count and the estimated credits before you generate.
Will editing a sentence redraw the illustration?
Editing a sentence only changes the words. Use Redraw to make a new illustration. Each page includes one redraw.
Will the character look the same on every page?
We use your confirmed character portrait as a reference for the illustrations, so their look and style carry through the book.
What happens to my credits if the book fails?
Credits reserved for a failed generation are returned to your account.
Where can I find the books I made?
Find them on your account’s bookshelf, ready to open and read again.
Can I order a printed book?
Picture books are available digitally.
