How the AI Story Generator with Pictures Works
Six steps from your text to a set of illustrated scenes
Write or Choose a Story
Paste your own text, or write one with the Story-AI story generator first. Anything up to 6,000 words works.
Pick Your Settings
Choose how many scenes you want, an art style, the image shape, and Basic or Premium Mode.
AI Identifies Key Scenes
The AI reads your story and picks the most visual, important moments to illustrate.
Generate Image Prompts
For each scene, it writes a detailed image prompt that captures the mood, characters and setting.
Create Illustrations
FLUX.2 image models draw each scene at about 1 megapixel, in the art style you chose.
Review and Download
Look through the scenes, regenerate any you don't like, and download them as PNG files, one by one or as a ZIP.
Total Time: A Few Minutes
Most of the wait is the AI reading your story and picking scenes; Basic Mode images then take seconds each. Commissioning the same illustrations usually takes days or weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI story generator with pictures?
An AI story generator with pictures turns a written story into illustrations. Story-AI reads your text, picks the key scenes and draws each one in the art style you choose, so you end up with a storyboard of PNG images to download one by one or as a ZIP.
How many images will be included per story?
You decide. Before generating, choose how many scenes you want; each scene becomes one image. A storyboard can have up to 100 scenes, within your plan's monthly image limit: 3 on Free, 200 on Basic, 250 on Premium and 800 on Professional.
Can I customize the image style?
Yes. Choose from 6 art styles: Realistic Photography, Digital Cartoon, Watercolor Painting, Oil Painting, Sketch/Line Art and Anime/Manga. You also pick the image shape: square, landscape or portrait.
What resolution are the images?
About 1 megapixel, in the shape you choose: 1024×1024 square, 1344×768 landscape or 768×1344 portrait. That's plenty for web pages, social posts and presentations. For large prints, upscale the PNG first.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes. All images generated for your stories are yours to use however you want - commercial projects, publishing, selling, etc. We don't claim any rights to your content.
Which plans will include picture generation?
Every plan can generate images. Free covers 3 images a month so you can try it, Basic 200, Premium 250 and Professional 800. Basic Mode costs 2 credits an image and is available everywhere; Premium Mode uses a higher-quality model (FLUX.2 pro) with more detail and closer prompt adherence, costs 6 credits and is available on Premium and Professional. Both modes generate each scene separately, so describing your characters the same way in every scene helps keep them similar.
How long does image generation take?
Basic Mode images usually take a few seconds each. Before that, the AI reads your story and picks the scenes, so a storyboard is typically ready within a few minutes.
Will my characters look the same in every picture?
Not automatically. Each scene is generated separately, in both Basic and Premium Mode, so a character can change between pictures. Describing each character the same way every time (age, hair, clothes) keeps them close.
Can I write the story with Story-AI too?
Yes. Write it with Story-AI's story generator, then load it here with the My stories button inside the text box. You can also paste any story of up to 6,000 words.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 20 credits and 3 images a month, with no credit card required. There's no time-limited trial: the Free plan doesn't expire.
