Turn a Written Story Into a Comic
You don't need a script, a storyboard, or any drawing ability to turn a written story into a comic anymore. If you can describe what happened in a few sentences — to a friend, in a journal, in a text message — you've already done the hard part. The panels, the art, and the speech bubbles are the machine's job.
My Comic Series takes your typed (or spoken) story and turns it into a finished comic strip, starring consistent characters built from your photos. Write the beats in order, and each one becomes a panel.
How it works — three steps
- 1
Write the story in plain sentences
No formatting, no script. A few sentences in the order things happened, with the punchline or payoff last. 'She said she was ready, then sat back down' is a complete panel direction — the app knows what to do with it.

Add your characters
Build characters from photos so the story stars real people — you, your partner, your friends. Consistent characters are what make a written story feel like a real comic instead of random AI images stapled together.

Generate and refine
The app maps your sentences to panels, stages each scene, and places the dialogue. Regenerate any panel you'd stage differently. Most stories land in four to six panels — one beat each.
Try this starter story
Paste it in to watch sentences become panels, then feed it any story from your week.
“Monday morning. I announce I'm going for a run before work, setting three alarms. First alarm: I silence it heroically. Second: I negotiate with the ceiling. Third: I'm asleep hugging my running shoes. Final panel: me jogging to the bus stop in office clothes, calling it cardio.”
Frequently asked questions
How long should the written story be?
A few sentences — four to six beats works best. Each sentence roughly becomes a panel, so a paragraph is a strip and a page is a whole episode. Longer stories work better split into parts.
Do I need to write dialogue?
Only if you want specific lines. You can put dialogue in quotes and it lands in speech bubbles, or just describe what happens and let the app write natural dialogue for the scene.
Can I turn journal entries or old texts into comics?
Yes — journal entries are perfect raw material because they're already honest, first-person moments. A funny text exchange retold as a strip is a classic too. If it's written down, it can be panels.
What kinds of stories work best?
Small, true, specific ones. One moment with a beginning, a tension, and a payoff beats an epic. The test: if you'd tell it at dinner, it'll work as a comic.
