Help & Support

PageWeaver creates personalized children's storybooks featuring your child as the hero. Upload a photo, pick a theme, and our AI writes and illustrates a unique book in minutes. Available as a digital story you can read online, or as a professionally printed book shipped to your door.

Storytime Mode is designed for parents and kids to create together. Enter your email, verify it with a 6-digit code, upload your child's photo, pick a theme like "Birthday Adventure" or "Space Explorer", and let your child tell us what should happen in the story. The book is generated in a few minutes with custom illustrations.

Not to start! Storytime Mode only needs your email for verification. After your story is created, you can set a password to save it permanently. If you skip saving, your story will be available for the session but can't be recovered later, so we recommend saving right away.

After your story is generated, click "View Your Story". Below the book viewer, you'll see "Save & Create More Stories". Click it, choose a password (8+ characters), and your account is created instantly. You can then log in anytime to view your stories, create new ones, or order prints.

Use a clear, well-lit photo showing your child's face. The photo should be at least 512x512 pixels. School photos, casual portraits, or any photo where the face is clearly visible work great. We support JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats up to 10MB.

PageWeaver offers 8 art styles: Watercolor Dreams, Bold Cartoon, Classic Storybook, Dreamy Pastel, Digital 3D (Pixar-style), Sketch & Ink, Collage Art, and Vintage Retro. Each style transforms your child's photo into consistent illustrations throughout the entire book.

Most stories are generated in 3-5 minutes. You'll see a progress bar showing the current stage: writing the story, preparing illustrations, generating images for each page, and final assembly. You can close the page and come back later if you've saved your account.

You can regenerate individual page illustrations if you're not happy with how they turned out. Each page can be regenerated up to 2 times per book. Open your story in the book viewer and use the regenerate option on any page.

Reading level is automatically set based on your child's age. Early Reader (under 5), Beginner (5-7), Intermediate (8-10), and Advanced (11+). This affects vocabulary, sentence complexity, and story depth. You can override the level in the advanced story creation wizard.

A Gift Pass lets you create a personalized storybook as a gift. Choose the "Send a Story Gift" option from the homepage, enter the child's name, age, and photo, pick a theme, and check out through Stripe. The book is generated automatically. You can then send the gift via email or share a link.

A digital Gift Pass is $24.99. A digital + printed book bundle is $39.99. The printed book ships to USA and Canada addresses.

No! The Gift Pass flow is designed to be as simple as possible. No account required. Just enter the child's details, upload a photo, pick a theme, and pay. You'll receive a confirmation and can send the gift immediately.

After payment, you'll see a "Send Your Gift" button. Enter the recipient's name and email, add a personal message if you like, and we'll send them a beautiful email with a link to view their personalized storybook.

Once your story is finalized, you can order a printed copy from PageWeaver. We offer saddle-stitched (from ~$17 USD) and premium hardcover (from ~$27 USD) options in two sizes: 8.5x8.5" square and 8.5x11" portrait. All books are printed with premium color on coated paper.

We currently ship to addresses in the United States and Canada. International shipping is coming soon. Books are printed and fulfilled by Lulu, a professional print-on-demand service.

Books typically ship within 5-7 business days after ordering. You'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information once your book is printed and shipped.
