How it works

Three steps from idea to comic.

See a finished comic →
  1. Describe it

    Type an idea, paste a chapter, or attach a script — Word, PDF, Fountain or Final Draft.

  2. Check the plan

    See every panel — who’s in it, what they say — before anything is drawn. Change any line you like.

  3. Get your comic

    Panels land on the page as they finish. Change any word, then download it for print, webtoon or social.

Why ComicWave

A comic is one story told twenty times with the same people.

Most AI image tools forget your characters between pictures. ComicWave is built to remember them — and to let you fix anything without starting over.

Characters

Your cast, remembered.

Give a character a look once — from a description, a photo, or any panel you like — and every panel after that is drawn from it. If one still slips, redraw just that panel.

  • A saved look for every character: face, full body, profile
  • Keep any panel you love as a character’s look — free
  • Name a character in a panel and their look comes along

Lettering

Words stay words.

Speech, thoughts, whispers, shouts, captions and sound effects sit on top of the art as real text — never baked into the picture. Change a line or fix a typo whenever you like, free.

  • 48 bubble styles, 12 captions, 15 sound effects, 10 fonts
  • Any language — right to left for Arabic and Hebrew, vertical columns for manga
  • Change a bubble’s shape without retyping a word

Fixing

Fix one panel. Keep the rest.

Not quite right? Describe the change, redraw the panel, or paint over just the part that’s wrong. The other panels stay exactly as they are, and every earlier version is kept.

  • Describe a change, redraw, fix a part, change the style
  • Every button shows its price — a redraw is 15 credits
  • Works on your phone as well as your laptop

Compared

Why not just prompt an image model?

You can get one good picture from a chat box. A comic needs the same people across pages, words that aren’t baked into the picture, a plan you can change, and a file your platform accepts.

Questions

Good questions.

What is ComicWave?

An AI comic generator. Describe an idea or paste a story, and it plans the pages, draws every panel from your characters’ saved looks and letters it with speech bubbles you can edit.

Will my characters look the same in every panel?

That’s what ComicWave is built for: each character has a saved look that every panel is drawn from. AI can still slip now and then, so you can redraw or fix any single panel.

Can I change the words?

Always. Bubbles, captions and sound effects are real text on top of the art, so changing a line is free.

How do credits work?

A standard panel costs 15 credits, and every button shows its price before you press it. Credits are only used for panels that finish — if one fails, its credits come back. A free account starts with 60 credits.

Which languages can my comic be in?

Write in the language you like. Arabic and Hebrew are lettered right to left, and Japanese manga in vertical columns. ComicWave itself speaks English, Deutsch, Français, Español and 日本語.

Do I need to be good at prompts?

No. Say what happens in plain words. ComicWave writes the detailed instructions for each panel and shows you the plan before anything is drawn.

Can I use my comics commercially?

Yes, on any paid plan. Comics made on the free plan are for personal use and carry a small watermark.

Is my work private?

Yes. Comics stay private unless you share a link, we don’t train AI on your work, and we don’t claim ownership of what you make.
