Question 1

How long does a story take to make?

Accepted Answer

About 45 to 90 seconds, depending on length. You'll see Pip generating text, then illustrations, then narration.

Question 2

Is it safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Every prompt and every finished page passes a safety filter. We block violence, sexual content, scary horror, real public figures, and anything else from our content guidelines. Parents can add their own blocklist and require a preview before any story is shown.

Question 3

Can I edit a story after it's made?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can edit any page's text, regenerate a single illustration, or regenerate the whole story. Edits don't count against your monthly limit.

Question 4

Can my child listen instead of read?

Accepted Answer

Every story includes audio narration in a warm voice. You can choose from several voices, and download the full story as an MP3 keepsake.

Question 5

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Six at launch: English, Swedish, French, Spanish, German, and Arabic. The UI and the story can be in different languages.

Question 6

Does Arabic include transliteration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Arabic stories generate a Latin-script transliteration line you can toggle on or off in the reader and in the PDF — perfect for early readers and language learners.

Question 7

Can I use my own characters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Create a character with a name, a relationship to the child, and an optional reference image. Tinytold builds a consistent character sheet so they look the same across pages and across stories.

Question 8

What's a reference sheet?

Accepted Answer

A model sheet of your character from multiple angles. It locks in their visual identity so Pip can draw them consistently — even months later in a new story.

Question 9

What print sizes can I export?

Accepted Answer

Six: A3, A3+, A4, A5, US Letter, and Square (210×210mm). A3, A3+ and US Letter include 3mm bleed and crop marks so they're ready for a real print shop.

Question 10

What's the difference between Free, Creator, and Pro?

Accepted Answer

Free gives you 2 stories a month and a watermarked PDF. Creator unlocks 15 stories a month, all 13 art styles, audio download, no watermark, and share links. Pro gives you 50 stories a month, up to 20 pages each, priority queue, and the character library.

Question 11

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You keep access until the end of the billing period, and your story library stays with you forever.

Question 12

Can teachers use it in classrooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer multi-seat licensing with a shared class library, reading-level controls, and printable formats. See the For teachers page or write to us.

Question 13

Do you sell or share children's data?

Accepted Answer

Never. Tinytold is paid by subscription. We don't sell, share, or advertise. We collect only what's needed to personalize the stories.
