Pages & Layouts
Your story is made of pages. Each page has a panel grid — a layout of cells where illustrated panels live. You choose the layout when you create the page and can change it any time.
Adding a page
Click the + button in the pages strip at the bottom of the editor. This opens the Layout Picker — a gallery of 50+ pre-built panel grid templates.
Templates are organized by panel count. You can filter by:
- 1 panel — full-page illustration, splash pages
- 2 panels — side-by-side or top/bottom splits
- 3 panels — various three-cell arrangements
- 4, 5, 6 panels — classic comic strip grids
- 8, 9, 12+ panels — dense grids for action sequences
Click any template to create the page with that layout. The new page appears at the end of the pages strip and becomes the active page.
How templates work
Each template defines a CSS Grid — rows and columns expressed as fractional units. Panels span one or more grid cells. This is what makes unusual layouts possible: a wide cinematic panel at the top, two smaller panels below, a tall narrow panel on the side.
The A4 canvas (595 × 842px) is always the container. The grid fills it, minus the panel gap.
Changing a page's layout
To change the layout of an existing page, click the strip selector icon in the bottom toolbar while viewing that page. The layout picker opens again. Select a new template.
Changing layout clears ungenerated panels
If panels on the page have already been generated (have images), those images are preserved where possible. But the panel structure changes — some existing panels may be removed or replaced depending on how different the new template is. Always regenerate panels after a major layout change.
Panel gap
The gap between panels is set globally in Settings. The default is 8px. Set it to 0 for panels that bleed edge-to-edge. Increase it for a more graphic-novel-style bordered look. The change applies to all pages in your story.
Page background
The background color of the page — visible behind panels and in the gaps — is set in Settings. You can use:
- A solid hex color (e.g.,
#fffffffor white,#000000for black) - A linear gradient (e.g., dark top to light bottom)
- A radial gradient (spotlight effect)
This setting applies to all pages uniformly.
Reordering pages
Drag any page in the pages strip to reorder it. The new order is saved immediately. This only changes the display order — it doesn't affect any panel images or scenes.
Deleting a page
Right-click a page in the pages strip (or use the page menu) and select Delete. A confirmation dialog appears. Deleting a page permanently removes it and all its panels, overlays, and generated images.
Page deletion is permanent
All generated panel images, bubble overlays, text, and scene descriptions on that page are lost. This cannot be undone.
