Create with ComicWave
Use your photo. Tell a comic story.
Create a short comic guided by your photo. Start with a story idea, sign in, add an image you have permission to use and review a three-panel plan. Your photo can guide the artwork while speech bubbles remain editable. This is a reference-based storytelling workflow, not a pixel-perfect photo filter or a guarantee of facial likeness.

What you get
Start with a story, not a filter
Describe what happens before, during and after the moment in your photo. The workflow combines your idea with a visual reference instead of merely adding outlines to the original pixels.
Control when the photo is sent
Choose the file in the signed-in workflow and confirm permission. The private upload starts when you continue, not when you browse this landing page.
Review likeness and context
Check the generated person, clothing, objects and setting. A reference can guide the result but cannot guarantee exact likeness; do not present a fictional scene as a real event.
Keep dialogue readable
Add or edit speech bubbles separately from the artwork. Move text away from faces, review the sequence on a phone, then export the version you are comfortable sharing.
How it works
01
Describe your short story
Enter an idea, sign in and select a PNG, JPEG or WebP you may use. Confirm permission from the people shown.
02
Review before drawing
Continue to upload the reference privately and review a three-panel plan. Check the cost before requesting artwork.
03
Check the finished comic
Review likeness, context and dialogue. Edit the lettering and export only after you have checked the result.
Photo-inspired stories, not exact likeness promises
Original illustrated examples made for this page. Open a comic to read the full sequence. These are concept studies, not customer projects.

Product capability
The reference is not baked into the lettering
Reference artwork feeds the image workflow while captions and speech remain editable document objects. Removing a reference from the draft is not deletion of stored media.
