Question 1

How do I create a personalized storybook?

Accepted Answer

Choose a story theme, add your child's name and story idea, and optionally upload a photo. Submit the form and Tallyhorn turns those details into an illustrated adventure.

Question 2

How long does generation take, and where can I see the status?

Accepted Answer

Generation runs in the background, so timing can vary with the queue and illustration work. The generation screen checks progress automatically, and your completed story is saved in My Books.

Question 3

How do I purchase a finished book?

When your preview is ready, choose the available book option in the pricing step and complete the hosted checkout. Your purchase and delivery status are then available from your account.

Question 4

Can I send a storybook as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select the gift option during checkout, enter the recipient details, and finish the purchase. The gift is tied to the recipient email, which they use to redeem it.

How do I download a PDF?

Accepted Answer

For eligible purchased digital books, open your account and use the Download PDF or Re-download PDF action. The option appears when the purchase and book are ready for download.

Question 6

Can I recover a draft if I leave or close the page?
