Draw your pages

Copy a page's prompt, let ChatGPT or Gemini draw it, paste the picture back, and review the pages one by one.

Your book's pages live on the Designs tab. Each card is one page. A page that isn't drawn yet shows a big Get the prompt button on blank paper.

The Designs tab: drawn pages, and a page waiting for its picture.

Draw one page in two taps

  1. Tap Get the prompt on a page. A dialog asks what to do with the prompt:
    • Open in ChatGPT opens the ChatGPT app with the prompt ready to send.
    • Open in Gemini opens the Gemini app (or its website, where you paste the prompt yourself).
    • Copy just copies it, for any other app.
  2. Send the prompt and wait for the picture.
  3. Copy the picture: press and hold it in the chat, then choose Copy.
  4. Come back to KDPify and tap Paste picture. The picture is fitted to the page, at print size.
What to do with the prompt: copy it, or open it straight in ChatGPT or Gemini.

The page viewer

Tap any page's picture to open it full screen.

  • Swipe left or right to move between pages.
  • The bottom bar has Copy prompt, Paste image and Done · next, which marks the page as done and jumps to the next one.
  • PROMPT shows what the page asks for. Tap Edit to change the subject. The style and print size are added for you, so only describe the picture.
  • Page | Original switches between the finished page (with border and print processing) and the picture as drawn.
  • The coloured pill shows the review status. Tap it to cycle Not reviewed → Done → Needs work.
The page viewer: swipe between pages; copy, paste and review from the bottom bar.

Review as you go

The chips at the top of the Designs tab filter the pages: All, To draw, To review, Needs work and Done. A good rhythm is to draw a few pages, check them in the viewer, mark the good ones Done and flag the rest Needs work, to redraw later.

Look for the things that spoil a printed page: lines that don't close (for colouring), stray text, cut-off subjects, and a style that doesn't match the other pages.

Page actions

Press and hold a page (or tap its ⋯) for its actions:

  • Get the prompt and Paste image
  • Not reviewed / Done / Needs work
  • Copy subject only: just your description, for a chat that already knows the style
  • Rename
  • Earlier drawings: every picture this page has had. Tap one to bring it back.
  • Select: pick several pages to mark, duplicate or remove together
  • Delete page (tap twice; you can undo it)

Drag a page by its grip to move it in the book.

Add pages

Tap + on the Designs tab:

  • Import pages: pictures from your phone, one page each.
  • Insert page: a new design, a blank page or a copyright page, anywhere in the book.

Draw many pages at once

With Promptline or an API key set up (see Choose how your pages get drawn), a Generate pages button appears. Choose which pages (not drawn yet, needs work, selected or all) and a limit, then tap Generate … pages. Pages are drawn in the background. Follow them in Jobs, and keep working on anything else.

Switch views

Grid shows two pages per row. Stack shows one page at a time, larger. Book shows facing pages in print order, with the covers, just as the printed book will open. Turn the phone sideways for a bigger view.
