About Doodara
Doodara is an AI picture book maker for parents, teachers and kids. You start with a story idea or an optional photo of your child, pick a story, age range, language and art style, and Doodara writes the text and illustrates every page. The result is a complete illustrated book you can read as a page-turning flipbook in the browser, share with a link or export for printing. You can make your first book on the homepage without signing up or installing anything, and an account is only needed to save, share or print.
The problem it addresses is that a personalised picture book usually means either a fixed template with a name swapped in or hours of writing and drawing. Doodara generates an original story around a theme such as fear of the dark, sharing or a first day at school, and keeps the main character's look consistent across pages, which is a common weak spot of image generators. It is open about how it works: Doodara does not train its own models but adds prompting, character consistency, layout and safety checks on top of third-party models, listing ByteDance Seedream 4.0 and FLUX.1 for paid-plan illustrations, Agnes models for the free plan, and OpenAI GPT models through OpenRouter for paid-plan story text. Books can be written in 10 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.
First you create a character: name it, choose an art style and describe its look, or upload a photo so the hero resembles your child. The AI generates a character portrait.
Second you choose a story. There are 20+ templates on topics such as kindness, courage, feelings and bedtime, or you can write your own idea. You set the reading age and language before generating.
Third the AI writes the outline and page scripts and illustrates each page, keeping the character consistent. This usually takes a few minutes and you can edit any page as it appears.
Finally you read the book as an interactive flipbook, share a link, or export a print-ready PDF, a fixed-layout EPUB or the page images. Exports are included with Pro or available for a single book with a one-time unlock.

Doodara is built mainly for parents who want a bedtime story starring their own child, or a book about something the child is going through, such as starting school, a new sibling or big feelings. Grandparents and relatives can make a personalised book as a birthday or holiday gift and print it.
Teachers can create short picture books for a classroom lesson on kindness, sharing or making mistakes, and the site includes free stories with discussion questions to use after reading. Self-publishers and small creators can use Pro or Premium, which unlock the advanced image model, all art styles, exports and commercial rights to sell the books. The free plan, with unlimited books on the basic model in watercolor style for personal use, is enough to try it before paying.
