Questions about paying

What’s a credit?

Pages cost credits: 2 a page with our Signature pictures, 1.5 with Everyday pictures. An 18-page book is 36 credits; an 8-page book is 16.

Do credits expire?

Credits you buy never expire. A plan’s monthly credits carry over for one extra month, then expire; they’re spent before your bought credits.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from your account. Your plan runs to the end of the month you paid for, and every book you made stays yours to read, share and download.

How does Bedtime Every Night work?

Every night you can make one 8-page bedtime book with Everyday pictures, included in the plan. A new one unlocks at midnight where you are; unused nights don’t carry over. Longer books, or a second book the same night, use credits as usual.

Can I get a printed copy?

Yes. Open any finished book and choose “Order a printed copy”. It’s $44.99 as a hardcover ($35.99 for members) with free tracked delivery to the US, UK, most of Europe and Australia, and arrives in about 8–10 working days. It's laid out like a classic picture book, the words on the left and the picture on the right, with a title page, a message page and the characters. You see every printed spread before you pay.

Can the pictures move?

Yes. Every finished book’s cover comes to life for free. Your storyteller decides how each picture should move, the way its moment would: a wave, a splash, a twinkle of light. To bring a page or the whole book to life, it’s 1 credit a picture, and each moving page can be saved as a GIF to send to family.

What if a picture comes out wrong?

Edit the words for free, as often as you like. The first 2 picture fixes on every book are free too; after that a fix is a couple of credits.

Is there anything free?

Yes: confirm your email and your first 10-page book is on us.
