Give a child you love their own superhero origin story. They'll meet a fairy queen who gives them superpowers to banish an angry troll, and helps them conquer their fear of the dark in the process.
Just upload two or more photos, and we'll remove the background, add shadow and match the color of the image to the scene automatically.
Available in two sizes/binding types:
- a large 8x11" landscape hardcover
- a medium 8x8" paperback
The book is 24 pages long, plus title page and dedication page (fill in a custom dedication below).

Please note: to ensure some variety from page to page, we require a minimum of two full-body pictures where our star is wearing the same outfit. But for best results, please upload 4-7 images. And have some fun with it! The more silly poses and faces, the better!
What Pictures to Use
Our automated system will extract any people that are in the photos you provide, so please ensure that only the star of the book is in each shot. Also, in the book, they'll be in the same pose and have the same expression as they do in the uploaded images, so for the sake of variety from page to page, we need at least two (2) pictures of them in the same outfit. More pictures offer more variety (and room for error if any don't work well), so for best results, we recommend 3-7.
Also, there are a few more thing to keep in mind:
- (Most Important) Fill most of the frame with the whole kid, head to toe, without cutting off any hands or feet. You can crop images using our upload tool, but please ensure the resolution is decent.
- Have the same outfit in each picture of the set. Otherwise, your kid will have different outfits from one page to the next. But younger kids might not notice.
- Take pictures from their height. Crouch down if possible. This is generally a good tip for taking pictures of kids so their heads don't end up looking super big compared to their bodies, which is a trick a lot of family photographers use.
Things to avoid:
- No portrait shots. Full body head to toes should be in the frame.
- No other people in the shot.
- Make sure they're not too far away so when we zoom in, we have enough detail to work with.
- No hats
- Nothing in hands (toys, etc.).
Examples
If you have a child with special needs that prevents you from taking pictures that meet these requirements, please contact us, and we'll figure out a way to make one for you.
