Ten minutes together. A real book for the shelf.
You and your child answer a few playful questions. TinyTale writes and illustrates a personalized picture book in minutes — then prints and ships it to your door.
Answer playful questions, one at a time
Your child names the hero, picks the world and a magical detail, and shapes what happens — every screen has a prompt to read aloud together. Each choice offers cards to tap or your own idea to type.
Age (2–10) sets length, vocabulary and how adventurous it gets. Older kids unlock a few extra story-shaping questions.
Watch your hero come to life
While the story writes itself, your characters appear one by one. Love them? Keep them. Not quite right? Try another look repaints any character — the reveal is the moment worth filming.
Describe a hero from scratch, or upload a photo used only to guide the illustrator — it never appears in the book and is deleted after your order.
The words arrive before the pictures
Your book opens as a flipbook. If you reach a page before its art is ready, the text types itself out so you can read along while the picture paints — the waiting becomes a shared reading moment.
On any page, tap Not quite? to fix the words or change the picture. Edits are free and happen before you ever pay.

A book arrives at your door
You preview the entire finished book before paying — what you see is what gets printed. Then it ships as an 8.5″ square full-color softcover, delivered in 5–8 business days.
No account needed. Your order link is your book's permanent home.
Made together, safely
The things parents ask us first — and our honest answers.
Guardrails are built in
Stories exclude injury, blood, and scary events outright. Conflict intensity is capped by age band — for toddlers, none at all. Art stays warm and non-threatening.
You're the final editor
The AI writes, automated checks review, and you preview every page before paying — with free text and art fixes on any page.
Photos are optional & self-destruct
A photo only teaches the illustrator what your hero looks like. It never appears in the book and is deleted when your order completes. The describe-a-hero path needs no photo at all.
Minimal data, no trackers
No accounts, no ad trackers, no cookies, no cross-site tracking. Just a first name, age, and story choices — plus email and address only if you order.
