Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating a personalized storybook with DreamDraft.
General
What is DreamDraft?
DreamDraft is an AI-powered platform that creates personalized, illustrated storybooks starring your child. Upload a few photos, choose a theme, and we generate an original rhyming story with illustrations that actually look like your child.
How is this different from other personalized books?
Most services paste a face onto pre-drawn templates. DreamDraft trains a unique AI model on your child's actual photos, then generates entirely original illustrations. The character truly looks like your child — consistent across every page, in any pose or scene.
What ages are the books suitable for?
Our books are designed for children ages 1–10. The rhyming stories are engaging for toddlers being read to, while older kids enjoy reading them independently. Each book is about 24 pages.
Can I create a book for an adult or a pet?
Yes! While most of our stories are designed for children, you can create a book starring anyone — adults, pets, or even imaginary characters. Just upload photos and choose your theme.
What themes are available?
We offer 15+ themes including dinosaur adventures, space exploration, fairy tales, underwater journeys, pirate quests, safari trips, superhero stories, and more. New themes are added regularly.
How It Works
How many photos do I need?
We recommend 5–10 photos showing different angles and expressions. Everyday photos work great — school pictures, candids, selfies. The more variety, the better our AI captures their unique features.
How long does it take to create a book?
The entire process takes under 5 minutes of your time. Upload photos (30 seconds), choose a theme, and our AI handles the rest. You can preview your complete book in about 3 minutes.
Can I edit the story text?
Yes, you can review and modify the AI-generated story before ordering. You can adjust wording, names, and details to make it perfect.
Can I change illustrations I don't like?
Absolutely. You can regenerate any page's illustration until you're happy. You get 30 regenerations included, and each produces a brand new illustration while keeping your child's likeness consistent.
Is the story just my child's name in a template?
Not at all. Our AI writes a completely original rhyming story from scratch. Your child's name is woven naturally into the narrative — it reads like a real children's book, not a fill-in-the-blank.
Do I need an account to start?
No! You can start creating a book immediately — no sign-up required. You only need an account when you want to save your project or place an order.

Quality & Printing
