What Makes DreamDraft Different
Custom AI Model
Unlike avatar builders that use pre-drawn templates, DreamDraft trains a unique AI model on your photos. The result: illustrations that genuinely capture your child's unique features — their curls, freckles, dimples, everything.
Original Stories
Every DreamDraft story is written from scratch by AI, not pulled from a template library. Your child's name is woven naturally into an original rhyming narrative that reads like a real children's book.
Regeneration Freedom
Don't love an illustration? Regenerate it. With 30 regenerations included, you have full creative control. Each regeneration produces an entirely new illustration while maintaining your child's likeness.
Free to Try

From Parents
They can't believe it
looks like their kid.
“My daughter asked me to read "her book" every night for two weeks. The illustrations actually look like her — pigtails and all. This isn’t a gimmick, it’s genuinely special.”
“I’ve tried 3 other personalized book services. They all looked like bad Photoshop. DreamDraft is the first one where my son pointed at the page and said "that’s ME!" — because it actually was.”
“The story rhymes, the character is consistent on every page, and the book quality is premium. I’ve sent the link to every parent I know. We’ve ordered four more for cousins.”
