1. Choose a photo that can act as a reference

Use a clear portrait or everyday photo where the face, hair, clothing, and important features are visible. Front-facing or lightly angled photos are easier to review than blurry images with heavy shadows or faces hidden by accessories.

A couple photo can establish two protagonists when both people are visible. A pet photo can make a dog or cat the central character. Decide who the reader should follow before you write the story direction.

2. Pick a page comic or vertical webtoon

Page manga works well for fixed pages, multi-panel layouts, and print-like reading. A vertical webtoon is designed for phone scrolling and an episode that continues downward. Choose the format before generation because it changes the composition and the way readers follow the action.

3. Give the first page a clear event

Do not prompt only “make this photo a comic.” Add one character, one place, one action, and one change. For example: the protagonist arrives at a rainy station, notices a sealed letter, and decides to follow the departing train. A concrete event gives the page something to show and gives the next page somewhere to go.

Keep the visual anchor specific: hairstyle, face shape, clothing colors, age range, and one distinctive object. Short, stable descriptions are easier to compare across later pages.

4. Review the first character before continuing

Check the face, hair, outfit, body proportions, expression, and relationship to the setting. Then check the dialogue, captions, names, and page order. A saved character or creative asset can support continuity across later pages, but generated results can vary and still require creator review.

Use Local Fix when one marked area is wrong and Redraw Page when the whole composition needs a new version. Read the confirmation prompt before either operation because revisions can consume credits.

5. Build a recurring comic one page at a time

After the first page is acceptable, reuse the saved character and keep the story direction consistent. Compare each new page with the reference instead of waiting until the end of an episode. This catches a changed hairstyle, missing object, or dialogue problem while the correction is still local.

Before exporting, review every page and confirm the rights to the source photo and story. Supported finished work can be exported as images, a long vertical image, PDF, ZIP, or a self-contained HTML ebook.
