StorySketch

Create custom illustrated bedtime stories in under a minute. Type a short story and get a 4-panel comic you can tweak and share instantly.

What is StorySketch?

StorySketch is a free web tool that turns up to 150 words of a bedtime story into a four-panel illustrated comic. It automatically splits your text into panels, draws simple matching SVG scenes, and lets you edit any panel's text or swap its scene — the comic updates instantly. One click copies the finished comic as a PNG image, or copies embed code for that same image.

Who is it for?

StorySketch is built for parents who want a quick custom bedtime story with pictures before lights-out. No account, no install, free to use.
