You can start free. The free plan includes up to 10 scripts a day, and you get 100 credits when you sign up. Drawing costs 2 to 6 credits per panel, so those credits cover about 33 panels on the default quality.

Do I need to sign up?

Yes. You can type your idea on this page, but you need a free account to generate the script and draw it.

Will my comic have a watermark?

On the free plan, the canvas and exports carry a small "made with comicideas.com" mark. Paid plans from Starter up remove it.

Can I use my comics commercially?

The default license covers personal, non-commercial use. Commercial use is included from the monthly Creator plan or any annual plan from Starter up.

Will the text come out garbled?

Panels are drawn with no text in them. Dialogue and captions are real text on their own layer, so you can correct any word without drawing again.

Can it keep my characters consistent?

It helps a lot, though no AI is perfect. Character sheets and your reference images go in with the panels to keep faces and outfits close. If one panel slips, redraw just that panel.

Can it turn a photo into a comic?

Not as a whole image conversion. You can upload photos as reference images for a character, location or prop, and the comic is drawn from those references.

Are my comics public?

No. Every comic is private by default on all plans. It only gets a public link if you choose to share it.

Can I write dialogue in Chinese or Japanese?

Yes. Set the script language when you create your comic, and the canvas can display Chinese characters and Japanese kana.

Is there a mobile app?

There is no native app. The site works in your phone's browser.

AI Comic Generator: From One Idea to a Finished Comic

Honest about the hard parts

Four problems with AI comics, and what we do about them

Reviews of AI comic tools keep naming the same complaints. Here is how each one is handled.

Garbled words
The problem
Text drawn inside an image comes out misspelled, and fixing one typo can mean drawing the page again.
What we do
Panels are drawn without any text. Dialogue and captions sit on a separate layer as real text you can edit.
Faces that change
The problem
A character can look like someone else from one panel to the next.
What we do
Each character gets a reference sheet that goes in with the panels. This reduces drift, though a close look can still catch small differences.
One fix, full redo
The problem
Many tools only regenerate whole pages, so a single bad panel costs you the good ones too.
What we do
Redraw only that panel and switch between its last 12 versions. Rewriting a panel's script with AI is free.
Messy layouts
The problem
Asking for a whole page in one prompt often gives you panels in the wrong shape and order.
What we do
Pick from 15 layout templates before you draw, and switch to another layout in the same format later.
