5.0What others say about their fonkle book
This isn’t a photo book you slide pictures into, and it isn’t a blank book where you have to write the text yourself. Your photos are the starting point: we write the story and illustrate every page.

Superleuke ervaring met Fonkle! Ik heb er een persoonlijk boek besteld dat met behulp van AI voor mijn dochter is gemaakt. Het hele proces was ontzettend gebruiksvriendelijk en je kunt werkelijk alles helemaal aanpassen aan je eigen wensen. Het eindresultaat is echt heel persoonlijk en bijzonder geworden. Absoluut een aanrader!

We hebben een boek gemaakt van de zomer 2026 van mijn kleinkindje. Heel blij mee, mooi gedrukt en snel verzonden. De prentjes lijken echt op de personages. Iedereen vindt het schitterend 😃 Moest ik toch één iets als minpuntje zeggen, ik vind het een beetje prijzig.

Frequently asked
Will my actual photos appear in the book?
No. We redraw every page as an illustration, based on what’s happening in your photos and who’s in them. That’s what makes it a real children’s book instead of a photo album.
Which photos work best?
Sharp photos where the people are clearly visible. A mix of moments, on the road, playing, eating, pulling a funny face, makes the best story.
How many photos do I need?
At least 3, at most 30. Every photo becomes a page in the book, so more photos means a longer story.
Can I write or edit the text myself?
Yes. We write a story around your photos first, and in the free preview you can edit the text page by page or have the whole story rewritten. You only order once every line is the way you want it.
How is this different from a photo book with captions?
In a photo book you paste in pictures and type your own captions. With us, your photos become illustrations and the text is one continuous story, written by us, editable by you. The result is a storybook, not an album.
