Frequently Asked Questions

Tingu Tales creates personalized storybooks where your child is the star of their own illustrated adventure. Available both as beautifully printed physical keepsake books delivered to your home and as digital interactive storybooks with voice audio narration across 9 Indian languages.

When you upload a photo of your child and share their name and age, our AI artist creates a charming, cartoon-style illustrated avatar of your child. This avatar is then illustrated as the hero across every page of your chosen story theme. Once the avatar is generated, you can delete the uploaded photo immediately for complete privacy.

All we need is your child's first name, age, gender, preferred language (choose from 9 Indian languages), and a clear photo to create their avatar. You can also pick from wonderful story themes like magical adventures, friendship, moral lessons, bedtime stories, and cultural celebrations.
