Another question? hello@kadolino.com, we reply within one working day.

Does the comic really look like us?

Yes. We draw your features from your photos: face shape, hair, eye colour, glasses, beard. It is not a generic character with your first name on it, and you check it on the free preview before paying.

Is it drawn by hand or by an AI?

By an AI, and we say so plainly. The illustrations are generated by artificial intelligence from your photos and your story, then proofread, corrected and laid out by us before printing. That is what makes a fully bespoke comic possible at €59.90 instead of several hundred euros.

How many photos do you need, and which ones?

One to three photos per person. Ideally a front-facing portrait, well lit, face uncovered and sharp, no sunglasses, no filter. One photo per character beats a blurry group shot.

What happens to my photos?

They are used only to create your comic, hosted on European servers, never passed on to third parties and never used to train an AI model. They are deleted automatically 30 days after delivery, or immediately if you ask.

Can I see the result before paying?

Yes. You get the cover and the first pages for free within 24 hours, without an account and without a card.

What if I do not like something?

Rerun the preview as often as you need before paying. After ordering, one round of corrections is included. Until the comic goes to print, you get a full refund on request.

What does the printed book look like?

24 pages in A5 format, laminated softcover, 170 g/m² silk paper, perfect bound, printed near you. The high-resolution PDF is included. Colours on paper are slightly softer than on screen.

How long until I receive my comic?

The PDF arrives within 48 hours of your approval. The printed copy is delivered within 10 to 14 working days in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

When is the deadline for Christmas?

Approve your comic before Friday 4 December for delivery before the 24th in Belgium (Tuesday 1 December for France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). After that date, the PDF is still available within 48 hours.

Is the comic mine?

The copy is yours, and so is the story. Give it, photograph it, share it without limit. We reuse neither your story, nor your characters, nor your photos. In all honesty: images produced by an AI are not protected by copyright, neither for you nor for us.
