Put them in the adventure

Add Your Characters

Put your child at the heart of a story created around them. Add a few personal details and a favourite photo, and we'll turn them into an illustrated character ready to explore magical kingdoms, distant planets and everywhere in between.

Meet the Star of the Story

Every BooklyBot adventure begins with its main character. Tell us their name, age and a few of their favourite things so the story feels personal to who they are - not simply as though it features their name.

You can also choose their favourite colour, adding another little piece of their personality to the finished book.

Turn Their Photo Into an Illustration

Upload a clear photo and use our simple framing tool to focus on your character. A full-length picture works best because it helps us capture their face, hair, clothing and the details that make them recognisable.

Group photos are fine too. You can crop everyone else out before the photo is used to create their illustrated character.

Bring Someone Special Along

Great adventures are even better when they are shared. Add one optional co-star and your child can experience their story alongside someone - or something - they love.

A Person

Bring along a sibling, friend, parent, grandparent or another important person. Tell us what your child calls them and their relationship, and they will become part of the story together.

An Animal

Turn a beloved dog, cat or other animal companion into a storybook sidekick. A clear photo helps us capture their colouring, markings and familiar accessories.

A Favourite Object

Even a treasured teddy, comforter or favourite toy can join the cast. Patches, worn edges and little imperfections help make it uniquely theirs.

Made to Look Like Them

We create a dedicated illustrated version of every character in your chosen art style. This gives the story a consistent cast, helping your child and their co-star remain recognisable as the adventure moves from one beautifully illustrated page to the next.

The Little Details Matter

Favourite foods, hobbies and interests give the story more to work with. Dinosaurs, dancing, football or pizza may inspire playful details that make the finished adventure feel as though it could only belong to your child.
