What it does

Doodara is a browser-based AI storybook maker for parents and teachers. You start with a character description or an optional photo of your child, pick a story template or write your own idea, set the age and language, and it writes the story and illustrates every page with the same character throughout. Books take a few minutes, can be edited page by page and are read as a flipbook or exported for printing.

Features

  • Story and illustrations from one idea. AI writes the outline and page text and illustrates every page; you can edit any page's text, regenerate a single illustration or rewrite the whole story. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • Consistent character from a photo. Lock a character's look once and keep it across pages; paid plans accept a separate reference photo for each family member. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • 16 art styles. Watercolor, crayon, collage, ink wash, 3D, anime and more; free books are watercolor only. Official source 1 ↗
  • Ages and 10 languages. Vocabulary and story complexity match the chosen age (2 to 10), in 10 languages including English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • Flipbook, share link and print exports. Read the book as a page-turning flipbook, share a link, or export a print-on-demand-ready PDF, fixed-layout EPUB or page images in square, landscape or portrait formats. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
