Comic and Graphic Story Booklet Builder

How to use the Comic and Graphic Story Booklet Builder

1. Pick a layout: classic panels, numbered cards, or an annotated proof with a script under the panels.
2. Enter the title and choose the reading direction: left to right, or right to left.
3. Upload your artwork, then add pages: choose a grid and tick the pictures for its panels in reading order.
4. Add bubbles: pick the page and panel, type the words, and set the position and size as percentages of the panel, with a tail and a style.
5. Add captions for pictures that need a narration box.
6. Choose reader order or a folded booklet, then Create document, check it under View your document, and download the PDF or PNG pages.

Example

A three-page A5 story, The Lighthouse Cat: a wide panel over two, a grid of four and two tiers, seven speech, thought and whisper bubbles, and a cover that says it reads left to right.

What it does not do

• There is no character, sticker or clip-art library and no comic or speech font; the only pictures are the ones you upload.
• Bubble words are fitted between 11 pt and 8 pt. If they do not fit at 8 pt you are asked to enlarge the bubble or cut words; text is never made smaller or cut off.
• Art is placed to fill each panel and cropped at the edges; it is not mirrored for right-to-left books.
• A folded booklet adds blank pages to make a multiple of four. Print double-sided, flipping on the short edge.
• Up to 250 pages and 500 entries in any list.
