Generate beautiful, personalised stories starring your family's own characters — with publish-quality illustrations, in seconds.
Free tier includes 5 stories per month. No credit card required.
Not just generated text — complete stories with characters your children love, illustrations they can colour, and books worth keeping.
Create a cast of characters with names, species, personalities, and appearances. Every story stars the characters your child loves most.
Every scene gets a beautiful AI-generated illustration. Choose from seven styles — watercolour, storybook, retro cartoon, Ghibli-inspired, and more.
Set the reader's age and the story adapts — vocabulary, sentence length, reading level, and story length are all tuned automatically.
Turn any story into an interactive adventure. Your child makes the choices that shape the story — a different ending every time.
For older readers, generate full chapter books — then continue with new chapters whenever you're ready. Build a whole series together.
Generate print-ready black-and-white line art. Export the story, print it out, and let your child colour the illustrations themselves.
Download as a formatted Word document, save as PDF, or export in KDP format to publish your story as a real printed book on Amazon.
Share your family's stories with the Inkstak community. Discover and read stories from other families, and leave reviews.
No child accounts. No personal data shared without your permission. Stories stay in your library until you choose to share them.
From idea to illustrated story in about a minute.
Choose from your saved character library or describe a new one. Name them, give them a personality, choose their species and look.
Choose an age group, story genre, illustration style, and how long the story should be. Add a quick plot idea — just a sentence is enough.

"My daughter asks for a new story every single night. We've built a whole series with her character — Pepper the cat. The watercolour illustrations are genuinely beautiful."
"We used the KDP export to print our son's favourite story as an actual hardcover book for his birthday. He was speechless. Best gift we've ever given him."
"The adventure mode is my kids' favourite. They make completely different choices every time and get a totally different ending. It's become a whole game at bedtime."

No. Inkstak accounts belong to parents and guardians only. Children don't sign up, log in, or have profiles. This is a deliberate privacy-first design — your children's information never becomes account data.
Illustrations are generated using Google's Gemini image models (Nano Banana 2), one of the highest-quality AI image generators available. The scene description from your story is automatically converted into a detailed visual prompt — you don't need to write any image prompts yourself.
Yes. The KDP export creates a print-ready PDF in the correct trim size (8.5"×8.5" square or 6"×9" trade paperback), with full-spread illustrations, cover pages, and page numbers. You upload this directly to Amazon KDP's interior file uploader. The app also generates a separate front and back cover PDF. We recommend reviewing Amazon's content guidelines before publishing.
Every story and review submitted to the community is screened by an AI moderation system before it's visible to anyone else. Content that doesn't meet our family-friendly standards is held for human review or rejected automatically. No personal information from the original story (plot prompts, character details, exact ages) is ever shared publicly.
Your stories and characters are never deleted. Cancelling reverts your account to the Free tier — you keep everything you've created, and any character slot purchases you've made are permanent. You can resubscribe at any time to regain full access.
Stories can be generated for readers ages 2–12. The app automatically adapts vocabulary, sentence length, story complexity, and reading level based on the age you set. For the youngest children (ages 2–4) it generates very short, simple stories with big text and lots of images. For older children (ages 8–12) it generates chapter books with richer language.
Free to start. No credit card. Your first story takes about 60 seconds.
