In short
What does Promly's AI Story Generator make?
Promly's AI Story Generator turns a story you write in plain English into pictures, two ways. The Story Kit draws one moment as four takes (wide, medium, close-up and low angle) in one style. The Storyboard Kit splits the whole story into 2 to 8 frames, one picture per beat. Promly writes the image prompts for you.
| Story Kit | Storyboard Kit | |
|---|---|---|
| You write | A few sentences about one moment | A few sentences or a whole short story |
| You get | 4 panels of that moment, as a 2×2 grid or a vertical strip | 2, 4, 6 or 8 frames in story order (4 by default) |
| Cost on the default model | 8 Pixels (2 a panel) | 9 Pixels for 4 frames: 1 to split the story, 2 a frame. The split is free on a paid plan |
| Photo needed? | No. A character photo is optional | No. A saved character is optional |
| Free to start | 15 Pixels on sign-up, no credit card | 15 Pixels on sign-up, no credit card |
Prices checked 26 October 2026. Other models cost 1–5 Pixels a picture. Pixel packs from $12 for 50 · plans from $7 a month for 30.
How it works
Three steps, zero prompt syntax
Write your story
Type a few sentences of narrative: a scene, a moment, or a whole short tale. Plain words, no blank prompt box to stare at.
Promly illustrates it
The Story Kit draws one moment of your story four ways (wide, medium, close-up and low angle) in one style. For the whole plot, the Storyboard Kit gives each beat its own frame.

Why people use it
A whole story, illustrated from your words
- No prompt skills needed. Write the story like you'd tell it to a friend: Promly's Story Kit handles the prompt engineering behind the scenes.
- No photo required. Start from text alone. Optionally anchor a recurring character with a photo, but you never have to.
- One moment, four takes. The Story Kit frames the same moment as a wide shot, a medium, a close-up and a low angle: four panels, not one disconnected image.
- Cohesive look throughout. The same style and mood carry across every scene, so it reads as one story.
- Any genre, any style. Noir, sci-fi, fantasy, children's tale, slice-of-life. Just describe the world in plain words.
- Free to start. 15 Pixels on sign-up, no credit card: enough for your first four-panel story (8 Pixels on the default model).
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to write prompts?
No. That's the whole point of Promly. You write your story in plain English and the Story Kit builds the prompts for you. There's no prompt syntax to learn.
Do I need to upload a photo?
No. The Story Kit works from your text alone. If you want a specific character to stay consistent, you can optionally anchor them with a photo, but it's never required.
How many images do I get from one story?
Four. The Story Kit draws one moment of your story as four takes (a wide shot, a medium, a close-up and a low angle) laid out as a 2×2 grid or a vertical strip. To illustrate the whole plot instead, the Storyboard Kit splits your story into 2, 4, 6 or 8 frames, one picture per beat.
What kinds of stories can I make?
Any genre: fantasy, sci-fi, noir, children's tales, slice-of-life and more. Name the style and world in plain words and Promly carries that look across every scene.
Is it free?
Free to start: 15 Pixels on sign-up, no credit card. A four-panel story costs 8 Pixels on the default model (GPT Image 2.5, 2 Pixels a panel), so the free Pixels cover your first story. After that, Pixel packs start at 50 Pixels for $12 (they last 12 months), or plans at $7 a month for 30 Pixels.
What is the difference between the Story, Storyboard and Comic generators?
Story draws one moment as four camera takes. Storyboard turns a whole story into 2 to 8 frames, one per beat, for planning a film, a video or an ad. Comic makes a four-page comic from your story, with the same character on every page.
Can I use what I make commercially?
Yes. Under Promly's Terms the images you generate are yours to use for any purpose, personal or commercial. The image models' own licence terms also apply.
