From your words to your world

Your book, illustrated.
From beginning to end.

Upload a book or manuscript. WideSpool reads the complete work and creates a coherent illustrated edition.

Written lines unfold into a continuous illustrated journey: the same traveler crosses a village, a forest, and an alpine lake, connected by a coral path.
One character, across three illustrated scenes.

One story. A connected world.

WideSpool reads the whole story.

Characters, places, and important moments are understood in the context of your complete book, including very long novels.

  1. The beginning
  2. Along the way
  3. The far shore

How do I get access?

WideSpool is currently an invite-only beta. If you’ve been invited, sign in with the email and password provided by your host. You can request beta access using the beta access form. Requests are reviewed manually; public account signup isn’t open yet.

What can I bring?

Upload an EPUB or plain-text (.txt) file, up to 30 MB, or paste your text. Memoirs, fiction, travel writing, journals, recipes, and essays are all starting points. There’s also a short Aesop sample after sign-in. Bring writing you own or have permission to use.

WideSpool works best with a finished manuscript, with the full context in place before illustrations are planned. You can’t edit the text after uploading it. More about manuscript readiness.

What does it cost?

The invite-only beta is free. You are not asked to pay; credits track and limit AI work. The design package covers the proposed visual design and the prompts with one upfront credit price. Continuing after you approve the visual design is included. Updating the visual design, drawing, image adjustments, and export preparation show their own credit prices before you approve them. Adding text, reading, and saving choices or prompts do not use credits.

Creating the visual design costs 20 credits and includes the prompts. Each new picture costs 1 credit, including reference pictures. You’ll see the total before you approve any work.

We plan to offer credit packs rather than subscriptions in the future. Paid packs are not available in this beta. Purchase prices and expiry terms will be shown before any future purchase.

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.
