What the app does
Features
Everything Doodle Dragon Studio can do, from the on-device drawing canvas to AI illustration, narration, and video — and which parts are free.
Doodle Dragon Studio is built around one idea: the pictures should be yours. The app is a studio for a parent or caregiver to turn their family’s own drawings and photographs into finished, printable books — not a machine that invents pictures of children who don’t exist.
Everything below is grouped by what you are trying to do. Anything marked Studio Plus needs a subscription and spends credits; anything marked Free runs entirely on your device and works in aeroplane mode.
Creating pictures
Three ways to get a picture onto a page. All three start with something of yours.
Sketch to illustration
Draw on the canvas or photograph a drawing your child already made, then turn it into a finished illustration that still looks like theirs.
Studio PlusPhoto to illustration
Bring in a photo from your camera or gallery and reimagine it as a storybook illustration — or adjust it locally and use it as it is.
FreeOn-device editing
Adjust light and colour and apply curated looks to a picture — free, offline, and without sending anything anywhere.
FreeBuilding the book
Turning a pile of pictures into something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
AI page planning
Turn one idea into an editable page plan, then choose Library matches or selected AI artwork for individual pages.
Studio PlusPage editor and layouts
Edit every word, swap any picture, reorder pages, and choose how text and image sit together on each spread.
FreeProject templates
Eight book themes — from Picture Story and Little Biography to Travel Diary and Blank Book — share the same editable page builder.
FreeSound and motion
Reading it aloud, scoring it, and adding a little movement.
Narration and audio
Record yourself reading the book, import audio, or generate narration in a choice of voices — then add music that ducks under the voice.
FreeAI video clips
Turn a still picture into a short animated clip, connect two frames, or continue the previous scene — with the exact credit cost shown first.
Studio PlusGetting it out of the app
Finished books, printed keepsakes, backups, and the free tier.
Export and printing
Export a page-by-page PDF, a story video, or a portable project archive and share the result through your phone.
FreeBackup and sync
Keep projects local, export portable archives, or opt in to private Studio Plus cloud backup and restore across devices.

The complete list of what Doodle Dragon Studio does without a subscription, an account, or an internet connection.

What the current app does for accessible interaction and the dedicated controls and testing still ahead of us.
