How it works

From idea to finished issue in three beats.

  1. Write the idea

    One line is enough. Panelo turns it into pages, panels and dialogue you can edit.

    PAGE 1

    PANEL 1 — Night. A tiny dragon hides in a cave.

    CAPTION — Mochi was scared of the dark.

    PANEL 2 — RIN enters with a flashlight.

    RIN — Need a light?

  2. Cast your characters

    Describe them, or upload a photo. Each one gets a locked reference sheet.

    Mochi · front · side · expressions

  3. Get your pages

    Panels drawn, bubbles lettered. Tweak anything, then export or publish.

A real studio.
Not a slot machine.

Other tools hand you one random image. Panelo gives you a full page editor with panels, lettering, layers and undo. The AI is there when you want it.

  • Re-roll one panel

    Not happy with a panel? Redraw just that one. The rest stays.

  • Edit with words

    “Make her smile.” “Camera from above.” Done.

  • Smart lettering

    Bubbles place themselves away from faces. Drag the tails anywhere.

  • Export anything

Questions?

Still curious? Write to [email protected].

Do I need to know how to draw?

No. You describe the story and the characters. Panelo draws the panels and you polish them in the editor if you want to.

Will my characters look the same in every panel?

Yes. Each character gets a reference sheet (front, side and expressions) that is used for every panel, so faces, outfits and colors stay consistent.

Which formats can I make?

Western comics, manga (right-to-left with screentone), manhwa and webtoons (vertical scroll), and kids' picture books. You can switch the same story between them.

Can I sell what I make?

On the Creator plan, yes. You own your stories and can publish them commercially.

Is Panelo Kids safe?

Kids mode uses strict content filters, needs a parent account, and deletes uploaded photos once the cartoon version is made.

How do I export?

PDF (print-ready), PNG, WEBP, CBZ for comic readers, and auto-sliced strips for webtoon platforms. Or share a link to Panelo's reader.
