Design Your Book's Images in Scrively

Bring your story to life with vivid images using Scrively. Whether you’re illustrating characters, settings, or scenes, Scrively gives you the creative tools to visually enhance your book. From choosing art styles to customizing details, designing your book’s visuals has never been easier or more fun.

Scrively offers multiple ways to add images to your book. Click into the image frame on a page, and you’ll see the option to “Generate” an image.

Use the "Generate prompt" option if you want Scrively to write the image prompt for you.

Alternatively, manually add the image prompt.

When using the "Generate prompt" option Scrively will automatically associate characters with the prompt. You can deselect them if needed.

When you're ready click on "Generate."

Scrively will take a few moments to think.

Need to make adjustments to the image prompt or characters? Click on "Cancel."

The generated image will be displayed.

Not satisfied with the generated image? Adjust the description then click on "Regenerate."

Click on "Done" to add the image to the page.

The image will be displayed in the selected image frame.

If you’d prefer not to generate images for each page, click on “Generate All Images” in the bottom right corner. Scrively will automatically create images for every page based on your story’s context.

Before using this option, all of your characters should have images associated with them. A strong and stable internet connection is also required for a smooth experience.

Scrively will let you know how long the image generation process may take. Once you’re ready, click “Continue” to proceed.

Give Scrively a few minutes to generate your illustrations. This is a great time to take a short break while the magic happens!

If you need to stop the bulk illustration process for your book, click on “Cancel generation."

Once your first five images are ready, you’ll see the “Start editing” option. This lets you continue working on your coloring book while the rest of the images finish generating in the background.

At the top right hand side you will see a progress bar for your image generation.

If you no longer wish to generate images, simply click “Cancel generating.”

If any issues occur while generating images for your book pages, error logs will appear with suggested fixes. You can also click “Try to Fix all” to automatically attempt corrections.

The generated images will be displayed in each page on the left side.

All generated images will be displayed on the right side.

Click on "Generate new image" if you would like to generate new images.

At the top right hand side navigate to the "Uploads" tab to import an image from your device.

You also have the option to upload an image from your device directly into the image frame.

Use the download icon to save the image to your device if needed.

To remove the image entirely, click on the trash icon.

Each page that requires an image must have one added before publishing. If an image is missing, the "Navigate to missing image" button will appear at the bottom-right. Clicking it will take you directly to the frame on each page where an image is missing and you will not be able to publish until the images are added.
