The solid workflow: sheets first, angles second, pages last

The way to make a comic that looks like one artist drew every page. Write your characters, objects and places down, set up the camera with the 3D tools, and only then draw pages. Then fix what's off with Fix an area, redraws and Pro Studio.

How to start your first comic series on Inkroost

From one sentence to a drawn first page in a few minutes. Describe your story, pick a look, press Draw my first page, then build the rest of the chapter from there.

One sentence, one button, your first page

Starting a series with Inky is one step now. Type your idea, pick a look if you like, press Draw my first page, and page one is drawn in about two minutes. Your first cover and first banner are free.

Create now starts with Inky

Create opens on Inky's box, page one waits for a look you chose, pasted scripts are drawn page by page, and Inky checks before reusing a series name.

Style presets for every kind of comic, and always your own style

Fifteen style presets, from superhero comics to manga to European albums, each with a real sample page. Pick one for the whole series or for one run of pages, or skip them and describe your own style. Inky asks which look you want before it draws anything.

How to keep one character the same across pages

Faces drift between generated pages until you write the character down once. Here is what a character sheet is, how Inkroost pushes it into every page that mentions her, and what to do when a page comes back wrong anyway.

How to use character, place and object sheets

Sheets are how Inkroost remembers what your cast, locations and recurring objects look like. Write them once, give them a picture, and every page that names them draws them the same way.

Inky writes the sheet before it draws the character

Every character, object and place in your story gets a complete sheet before Inky plans its pages, and Inky asks you about the ones you named instead of guessing.

Your uploaded pages fill in your characters, places and objects

When you upload a chapter you drew yourself, Inkroost reads it and adds the characters, places and objects it finds to your sheets, each with a picture cut from your own page. It costs nothing.

Style match teaches Inkroost your style from your own pages

Pick a few of your uploaded pages and Inkroost drafts a style profile and sheets from them, then draws the next page in your style.

Circle what's wrong and fix just that, plus a continuity check across your pages

Every new page is now checked against the pages before it for extra arms, wrong fingers, duplicated characters, changing backgrounds and story breaks. The best drawing is picked for you, and you can circle any area and say what to change.

How to bring your own comic pages into Inkroost

Upload pages you drew, or drop a whole PDF of your comic. Uploading is free, pages land in order, and you can publish, translate or animate them like any other chapter.

How to letter your comic pages

Add speech bubbles, captions and sound effects right on the page, in eleven comic fonts, and keep every bubble editable. Covers and banners can carry text too.

How to turn one scene into a comic page

The whole path from a sentence in your head to a drawn page you decided to keep — what to type, what it costs, and what to do when the page comes back wrong.

Bring your comic in as a PDF

Drop a PDF of your comic or manga where you add pages, and every PDF page becomes a page of your chapter, in order. No exporting page by page first.

Pages that play with their layout

When your panels don't say how the page is laid out, Inkroost now picks a layout move for each page, like a close-up inset laid over another panel or a figure reaching out of its frame, so pages stop coming out as tidy grids.

Split a chapter into panels

Every panel of a chapter, cut out as a picture of its own in reading order and ready to download, with the option to clear the speech bubbles and text from them.

How to turn a comic chapter into an animated episode

A full walkthrough of Inkroost Animate, and the craft behind a good episode. Start from consistent pages, pick the look and the voices, shape the script for speech, choose the length and quality, check the plan and the exact price, then animate, fix scenes and publish.

How to publish your animated episode to YouTube

Connect your YouTube channel once, then send any finished episode, or its vertical cut as a Short, straight to your channel with your own title, description and audience settings.

Review and rewrite your episode's script

Before an episode is animated, you can now edit every line, change who says it and reorder the conversation, or ask the free script assistant to rewrite it for the screen.

Squeeze a whole chapter into a short episode, or keep its best moments

When you pick an episode shorter than your chapter, Inkroost Animate now asks whether to fit every page in with shorter lines, or keep only the strongest scenes word for word.

Fix a scene in your episode without making it again

Spot a wrong hand or a floating lid in your animated episode? Pick the scene on the new timeline, say what should change, and only those seconds are redrawn. Your voices, music and subtitles stay as they are.

A second animator for Standard episodes, at a lower price

Standard episodes now let you pick between our main animator and a second one that costs less and has a look of its own. Both prices are on the screen before you decide.

How to publish and share a comic chapter on Inkroost
