What the app does
Features
Everything Doodle Dragon Studio can do — recording your own narration, turning sketches into illustrations, laying out pages, exporting — and what's free.
Doodle Dragon Studio is built around one idea: the pictures should be theirs and the voice should be yours. It is a studio for a parent or caregiver to turn a family’s own drawings and photographs into a finished book, and then read that book aloud into it — not a machine that invents pictures of children who don’t exist and narrates them in a voice nobody recognises.
Everything below is grouped by what you are trying to do. Anything marked Studio Plus needs a subscription and spends credits; anything marked Free runs entirely on your device and works in aeroplane mode.
Your voice
The reason the app exists. Free, unlimited, and entirely on your device.
Creating pictures
Three ways to get a picture onto a page. All three start with something of yours.
Sketch to illustration
Draw on the canvas or photograph a drawing your child already made, then turn it into a finished illustration that still looks like theirs.
Studio PlusPhoto to illustration
Bring in a photo from your camera or gallery and reimagine it as a storybook illustration — or adjust it locally and use it as it is.
FreeOn-device editing
Adjust light and colour and apply curated looks to a picture — free, offline, and without sending anything anywhere.
FreeBuilding the book
Turning a pile of pictures into something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
AI page planning
Turn one idea into an editable page plan, then choose Library matches or selected AI artwork for individual pages.
Studio PlusPage editor and layouts
Edit every word, swap any picture, reorder pages, and choose how text and image sit together on each spread.
FreeProject templates
Eight book themes — from Picture Story and Little Biography to Travel Diary and Blank Book — share the same editable page builder.
FreeMotion
Adding a little movement, where a page genuinely earns it.
Getting it out of the app
Finished books, printed keepsakes, backups, and the free tier.
Export and printing
Export a page-by-page PDF, a story video, or a portable project archive and share the result through your phone.
