Frequently asked questions
Does AI write the story for me?
Our platform is designed to help you write your own story with a creative partner. While our AI is powerful, we recommend using it as a co-writer. It’s the ultimate story creator tool to help you bounce ideas, refine your narrative, and fully immerse yourself in your imagination. Whether you are stuck on a plot point or need help with phrasing, our assistant ensures the heart of the story remains yours.
Do you store the photos I upload?
No, your privacy is essential to us. When you create your own storybook characters using your personal photos, those images are processed only once to determine physical attributes. We never store your original photos; they are deleted immediately after your character is generated.
Is this only for creating children’s books?
While Bandigon is a popular tool to create your own illustrated books for kids, it is versatile enough for any audience! You can create your own story as a romantic gift for a partner, a tribute to your parents, or a personal creative project.
Quick Tip: Bandigon is specifically optimized for high-quality short storybooks. To ensure the best experience, stories are currently capped at 2,000 words.
Can I keep a digital version of my book?
Yes! Every personalised children’s book you create comes with a free digital version that you can save and revisit anytime. It’s a great way to keep a backup, enjoy the story on any device, or share the experience with your child before the printed book arrives.
Can I share my digital book with others?
Absolutely. You can share your digital personalised book with family and friends so grandparents, relatives, and loved ones can enjoy the story too. It’s perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or simply sharing a thoughtful gift with the people who matter most.
