pintame

pintame is a web tool that illustrates uploaded or written stories with AI, keeping characters, locations and props consistent across pages. It supports illustrated books and comics, exports to PDF and EPUB, and charges by credits instead of subscriptions.

pintame is a web-based illustration tool for authors who want pictures for their manuscripts without commissioning an artist. A writer uploads or writes a story, picks a format, and the system produces artwork for each scene while keeping characters, locations and props looking the same from the first page to the last. That continuity is the product's central promise, and it targets the problem that usually breaks AI-generated picture books: a hero whose face changes every few images. The workflow is built around five stages. A user creates a project by uploading a manuscript (EPUB, PDF, TXT and DOCX are accepted) or by writing a story in the editor, then chooses between an illustrated book and a comic book and selects an art style. Characters can be described by hand or extracted automatically from the text, and photos of real people can be turned into characters, which suits personalized family stories. The AI proposes a description for each scene, which can be edited before images are generated. Finished work exports as PDF or EPUB, with print-ready output mentioned for illustrated books. The two formats differ in layout. Illustrated books place full-page or inline artwork among the text and suit picture books, short stories, educational pamphlets and novels. The comic mode adds panel layouts, speech bubbles, captions and both manga and Western styles. The site lists more than five art styles, including watercolor, digital painting and a heroic comic look, and dedicates pages to children's books, self-publishing, educational materials and comics. Billing is credit-based rather than subscription-based. Each generated image costs a base number of credits plus extra for every reference character, location or object used, and text operations are metered by token volume. This pay-per-creation model favors occasional projects over heavy daily use. Compared with general image generators such as Midjourney, pintame trades open-ended flexibility for a book-specific pipeline with entity tracking and publishing export, which makes it a closer fit for indie authors, educators and comic creators than for general artists.
