Get a Free Price QuoteMost industry-standard picture books — including those published on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark — follow a strict 32-page structure. This tool helps you distribute your story sentence-by-sentence to visualise the flow before you hire an illustrator.
Books are printed on large sheets folded into groups called signatures, usually in multiples of 8 or 16. A 32-page book is the most cost-effective and widely supported format. Going off-standard (like 34 pages) may result in blank filler pages or higher printing costs.
Copy your full manuscript and paste it into the story box. Click Auto-Split Text. The algorithm divides your story into sentences and distributes them across pages based on average reading pace.
A great picture book is built on the page turn — the moment of suspense or surprise when a child flips the page.
Click the icon on any page to open the art note field. Describe what the illustrator should draw — for example, "Max looks surprised to see the puppy at the door." These notes appear in the exported PDF but not in the final book.
Once you are happy with the layout, click Download PDF Storyboard. Enable the DRAFT watermark if this is a work in progress. Send the PDF to your illustrator so they know exactly which text belongs on which page and what scene each spread should depict.

Absolutely. The 32-page layout is the industry standard for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and traditional publishing. The tool also supports 12, 24, 28, and 40-page layouts.
Yes. Everything is saved in your browser's local storage. Even if you refresh the page or close the tab, your text, title, and art notes will be there when you return.
The box turns red when you exceed 50 words on a single page. Picture books rely heavily on illustrations, so keeping text concise (under 30 words per page is ideal) gives the artist space to tell the visual story.
Yes. Select "Custom" from the page dropdown and use the + / − buttons to add or remove spreads (2 pages at a time). Any even page count between 8 and 60 is supported.
Fill in the art notes for each page, then click Download PDF Storyboard. The PDF includes your page text, art notes, and page numbers. Send this file to your illustrator as the layout brief.
