Questions parents ask

What is a Photo Story?

A short, 4-page illustrated story made from your child's photo. Your child is the hero, and the story teaches one lesson or tells the story you write.

What kind of photo works best?

One clear, well-lit photo of your child's face. KidTeller turns it into an illustrated character that looks the same on every page.

Can I write my own story?

Yes. Choose "Write my own story" and describe what should happen in 30 to 1,500 characters. KidTeller follows your story closely.

How much does it cost?

Your first story preview is free. To unlock the full illustrated story you pay per book with credits, and there is no subscription. Narration also uses credits.

Which languages and devices can we use?

Stories can be written in 30+ languages. Read them in your browser or in the KidTeller app for iOS and Android.
