Five Minutes Late

A time traveler in a brass helmet appears in a glow of light on an empty town square covered in confetti
I made it! The greatest parade in history!
He traveled 200 years. He was five minutes late.
Close up of the time traveler with teary eyes as a single red balloon floats away
Again?
The time traveler leans over the rim of a cooling volcano crater at sunset
I just wanted to see ONE eruption. One!
The time traveler sits against a lamppost fiddling with his remote while a street sweeper leans on his broom
Fine. I'll set the timer five minutes earlier.
You said that last time, pal.

  • One layout, even gutters
  • Lettering is never garbled
  • Redraw one panel, not the page

What a comic panel is made of

One page, not four pictures glued together

A comic panel is one frame in a sequence. What makes panels read as a comic is everything around the art: even gutters, matching borders and lettering that sits on top. This comic book panel maker builds the whole page as one layout, so you never line up separate images by hand.

  1. 1

    Panel

    One moment of the story. Each panel is drawn to match the shape of its frame, so a wide panel gets a wide picture instead of a square one squeezed in.

  2. 2

    Gutter

    The white space between panels. It is the same width across the whole page, which keeps the reading rhythm even.

  3. 3

    Border

    The line around each panel, drawn by the page rather than baked into the art. Set it from 0 to 16 px, or switch to a hand-drawn line.

  4. 4

    Speech bubble

    Speech, thought and shout bubbles sit on a text layer above the art. You drag them, resize them and point the tail where you want.

  5. 5

    Caption

    Narration boxes for time, place or inner voice, also editable text, never painted into the picture.

Text never comes out garbled, because the art is drawn without any words in it. Every letter you see is real, editable text.

Comic panel layouts

15 comic panel layouts, switch any time

Pick a grid to start, then change your mind whenever you like. Move to a layout with more panels and the new frames wait for a description or your own image. Move to one with fewer and the extra panels are tucked away, bubbles included, ready to come back when you switch again.

Sample comic panels arranged in the selected layout

Or write a script for it

You pick from these templates rather than drawing panel lines yourself. Start blank and fill the frames yourself, or have the AI write the script first. Border thickness and the hand-drawn look can be changed on every page.

How to create a comic panel in four steps

You do not need to plan the panel breakdown yourself. This comic panel creator handles it with you, in four steps:

  1. A cat who is convinced the vacuum cleaner is plotting against him

    01

    Describe the moment

    A sentence or two is enough. Pick comic page, strip or webtoon, how many panels and an art style.

  2. The Conspiracy

    cast Whiskers, Dana

    panel 1 Living room, daytime. Whiskers crouches low behind the sofa corner, peering around the edge with wide suspicious amber eyes. Across the room the vacuum cleaner sits silently against the wall. Whiskers stares at it with an intense, conspiratorial expression, one paw raised dramatically. Warm afternoon light fills the tidy living room.

    Whiskers: I know what you are. I know what you want.

    02

    Split it into panels

    The script gives each story beat its own panel, with what we see, the camera shot, dialogue and captions. Scripts are free.

  3. Dana walks into the living room holding the vacuum cleaner hose, about to plug it in. She looks relaxed and cheerful. Whiskers in the background launches himself off the bookshelf mid-air in a full panic, fur puffed out to triple his normal size, eyes enormous, all four legs splayed wide.
    03

    Draw to each frame

    Every panel is drawn to the shape of its frame, with your characters kept close to their character sheets.

    Just a quick clean-up, buddy!
    IT BEGINS!
