Yes. Photos are stored privately, used only to illustrate your book, and never sold, shared, or used to train AI models. Location metadata is stripped before upload. Delete a character and its uploaded photo is deleted with it. Only upload photos of your own child. ## Is it really free? Yes. Free books are unlimited, and your first one needs no account at all. Free books use the classic watercolor style and a lighter image model, share a generation queue, may include ads, and are personal use only. Paid plans add all 16 art styles, the advanced image model, priority generation, and commercial rights — see [pricing](https://www.doodara.com/pricing). ## How long does a book take? Three to eight minutes for most books, depending on length and art style. Pages appear as they are generated. Free books share a queue, so it can take longer at busy times. ## What ages is it for? Books are designed for ages 1–2, 3–5, and 6–9. The age you pick changes vocabulary, sentence length, and story complexity — the same idea becomes a board book or an early-reader chapter story. ## Can I edit the story, or fix one bad page? Yes. Edit the text on any page directly, regenerate a single illustration that did not come out right, or rewrite the whole story from scratch. Nothing is locked in until you export. ## Who owns the story and the illustrations? You do. Personal use is included with every book. Paid plans add commercial rights, so you can sell, self-publish, or print as gifts. ## Can I print it? Yes — export a print-ready PDF, or order a printed copy. Page sizes meet common print-on-demand requirements. ## What do credits do? Credits are spent only by the advanced image model. The free model costs nothing, and writing — outlines, scripts, suggestions — is always free. On the advanced model: one credit per page illustration, one for the cover, one for a character portrait, one for narration, three for a social video. A ten-page book on the advanced model costs eleven credits. Credits reset monthly and do not roll over. ## How many languages? Ten: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Arabic. See [Story languages](/doodara-docs/templates-and-characters/story-languages.md). ## Something is still wrong Email `hello@doodara.com`. If a book is not right, we will make it right. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://doodara.gitbook.io/doodara-docs/reference/faq.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
