Start a Storywish book with your own characters. Add a photo and Storywish draws your child, or the family dog, as a storybook character. No photo needed: a few words work too.
Tap Create a Story and Storywish asks one question first: who is the book for? Tap My child, Myself or Someone else, then type their name. Once Storywish knows your kids, their names are right there to tap instead.
Name your child and Storywish asks about something they did or said lately, then offers to draw them. Grandparents, brothers, sisters and the family dog can join the story the same way.
Characters you keep are saved with your account. Name them in your next story and Storywish brings them back, no need to make them again.
Tap Upload or take a picture and Storywish draws that person as a storybook character. If the photo has more than one face, Choose a face lets you tap the right one. We never store your uploaded photos: each one is used once to draw the character, then deleted. A family photo works the same way: each face in it is read once to fill in its own card, then the photo is deleted.
Tap Draw from description and say what they look like. If Storywish needs a little more to go on, it asks, for example "What does Sofia look like?"
A new character arrives on a card, with Keep and Start over above it. Keep saves them for this book and the ones after it.
Tap Reimagine for a fresh drawing, and use the arrows to go back to an earlier one. Set Boy, Girl or N/A (Man or Woman for a grown-up), their age and what they're like, or type what should change.
Use the brush to draw on the character, like a crown or a red scarf, say what it is, and Storywish draws it in.
Every character you keep lives in your library. Open one to swap the photo, describe a change, or draw on the portrait, and Storywish draws them again.
The sparkle beside the name and the description writes them for you. Highlight a sentence first and it rewrites only that sentence.
Tap Add relationships on any character and link them to other characters in your library. Pick from Father, Mother, Parent, Son, Daughter, Child, Brother, Sister, Sibling, Husband, Wife, Stepfather, Stepmother, Stepson, Stepdaughter, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Son-in-law, Daughter-in-law, Cousin, Uncle, Aunt, Nephew, Niece, Grandpa, Grandma, Grandparent, Grandson, Granddaughter, Grandchild, Guardian, BFF, Friend, Rival, Peer, or Pet.
Storywish reads those links when it writes. Mom acts like Mom, the rival shows up as the rival, and the family dog wanders through the scenes. Set up the family once and every story after knows who everyone is. Linking characters needs an account.
