A comic made from your own art

Make a comic strip, a full-page adventure, or a tiny nine-panel story. Choose from 16 layouts or build a grid with up to 16 panels. Draw directly inside each frame, upload pictures of paper drawings, or combine both. Add speech, thought and shout balloons or narration boxes, then move them to fit the story. Everything happens in your browser, including image processing and downloads.

Need a starting idea?

  • turn a page of doodles into a comic story
  • make a birthday or thank-you comic for a grandparent
  • retell a favorite family day as a mini comic
  • give a shy kid an easy way to write a story with pictures
  • build a superhero adventure starring their own character
  • make a rainy-day comic strip instead of screen time
  • print a comic to hang on the fridge or bedroom door
  • start a weekly family comic your kids draw together

Make your story easy to follow

  • Keep each speech bubble short — one or two sentences reads best
  • Use the caption box for narration like "Later that day..."
  • Give the story a beginning, a middle, and an ending
  • Draw your pictures first, then add the words to match
  • Print on thicker paper so the finished comic feels like a real page
  • Make a series — number each strip and collect them into a comic book

Before the next adventure

Is the Comic Maker free?

Yes. Choose layouts, draw, upload pictures, add balloons and download or print your comic for free. No sign-up is needed.

Can I draw and upload pictures in the same comic?

Yes. Draw directly inside any panel, upload a drawing or photo, or draw over an uploaded picture. The sample drawings are also available under Layout.

Do my child's photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to a server, and nothing leaves your device.

What file do I get at the end?

Download PNG saves the whole page as one high-resolution image. Print comic opens your browser's print dialog, where you can print on paper or choose Save as PDF.

Can I print an empty comic template?

Yes. Choose a layout and select Print blank or Download blank grid. These leave out your pictures, drawing and balloons without changing your editable comic.

Will my comic be here when I come back?

The maker automatically saves one draft in this browser on this device when browser storage is available. Clearing site data removes it, so download finished comics for safekeeping.
