How does personalization work?Updated a month ago
Every Magic Story book is custom-made to bring your child into the heart of the adventure. Here’s how personalization works:
Step 1: Upload your child’s photo
Choose a clear, well-lit photo of your child’s face
Tips: avoid hats, sunglasses, or busy backgrounds for the best results
Step 2: Add their details
Enter your child’s first name (required)
Optionally add a last name, which will appear on the book’s cover
Provide their age and gender to help match the story style
Step 3: Generate your hero
An avatar is automatically generated from your child’s photo
You’ll see a preview and can:
Regenerate the avatar if you’d like a new variation
Or start over with a different photo
Step 4: Finalize your book
Once confirmed, your child’s personalized hero will appear throughout the story — making them the star of their very own adventure!
A few things to know
Avatars primarily focus on the head and facial features; some features may be adapted or stylized to match the story’s illustration style.
On select titles, you can add a companion — a pet, a parent, or a grandparent — to the story for $4.99; look for the companion option on the book page.
Each Magic Story highlights your child’s unique likeness while keeping the whimsical, cinematic style of our storytelling.
✨ Result: Your child sees themselves in a magical, one-of-a-kind adventure built just for them.
