Writing a memoir? Choose “I’ll direct it” and add the real people in setup, each with a photo. The pictures will follow them.

You must have the rights to the book you upload. That means you wrote it, the author gave you permission, or it’s in the public domain where you live.

  • Each picture, redraw or edit: 1 credit
  • First 8 reference and cover pictures: included

Is my book private? Can anyone at WideSpool read it?

Your library is tied to your account. WideSpool does not publish your uploaded texts, images, or personal information online or share them in a public gallery. During the beta, we may access and read your uploaded texts and review related prompts and results to investigate problems, test changes, and improve the app experience. This may happen without a support request from you.

AI features send relevant text, prompts, and images to external providers. They may retain data under their own policies. How provider processing works.

Does WideSpool take ownership of my writing?

No. You keep the rights you already have in your writing and uploaded materials. WideSpool does not claim ownership of them. Using the service permits the processing and content review described below; it does not give WideSpool permission to publish your work.
