Series, Issues, Pages, Panels — what each means
ComicInk content is organized as Series → Issues → Pages → Panels. Plus shared things like characters, worlds, and assets. Here's what each term means.PopularConverting a book PDF into a comic series
Upload a PDF book and ComicInk adapts it directly into a multi-issue comic series — preserving original dialogue, settings, and story beats. Each issue's script is generated from the actual book pages, not a downstream summary. Cost scales with book length and is shown before any credits are charged.Some readersEditing dialogue and narration
You can edit any panel's dialogue, narration, or character assignment without regenerating the image. Dialogue is per-character — each speaker gets their own field. Image-burned text is different — that requires regeneration.Some readersChoosing a comic size
ComicInk supports four comic formats — standard, manga, graphic novel, webcomic. Each has its own page aspect ratio.Some readersChoosing an art style
ComicInk supports 12 art styles, from American superhero comics to manga to watercolor. The style applies to every page, panel, and character in the series.Some readersFixing image errors with annotations
Circle the issues directly on a generated page and type what to fix. The AI gets the clean page, your annotated overlay, and all your character references.Some readersWriting your story
Each issue starts with a synopsis. Write it yourself or have the AI expand a one-liner. Good synopses produce better comics.Some readersRegenerating images when something looks wrong
Page, panel, and cover regenerations cost 50 credits each. Character, asset, world, and title images cost a flat 10 credits each — every generation and every regeneration, no free quota.Some readersGenerating pages
Each generated page costs 50 credits and takes about a minute. Pages use your characters and synopsis as input.Some readersGenerating covers
Front and back covers each cost 50 credits to generate. Covers use your characters, synopsis, and a style brief you control.Few readersThe Advanced Script Editor
The Script view of the comic workspace — every page and panel of an issue's script on one flowing document, with a Pages/Cast/Assets sidebar, a persistent Sidekick column, autosave, undo/redo, and version history for restoring an earlier script or recovering one after deleting pages. Web only.Few readersImporting a script you already wrote
If you already have a script, import it — your dialogue is kept exactly as you wrote it, word for word. Asking Sidekick to turn a draft into a script rewrites it instead. Import is in the Tools rail, or just ask Sidekick. Web only.Few readersFrequently Asked Questions: Creating Comics
Short answers to the comic-creation questions support gets most often, with links to the full guides.Few readersSidekick, your AI collaborator
Sidekick is the chat column in the comic and video editors — it writes and rewrites your script, renders artwork, sees the page you're looking at, notices edits you make outside the chat (another tab, the Cast rail, the Script tab) and tells you about them. New accounts get 10 free Sidekick messages; a subscription unlocks unlimited use after that.Few readersUsing Sidekick across your projects
Sidekick can reach beyond the project you have open — search your library, read another comic's script, copy characters and assets between projects, and turn a comic into a video.Few readersSidekick conversation history
Sidekick keeps your past conversations instead of replacing them. Each one gets a short title, you can reopen and continue any of them, and starting a new chat no longer deletes the old one. Web only.Few readersTwo-page spreads
Merge two facing pages into one wide splash image straight from the flipbook toolbar. One generation renders both halves; regenerating updates them together.Few readersPage Layout and Panels
There is no page-layout setting in ComicInk. The shape of a page comes from how many panels it has and how each one is described, so you control layout by editing the script. Explains grid, dynamic, cinematic, splash and montage as comic terms, and how to get each look.Few readers
