See the story
- Every chapter, illustratedBook2Life reads ahead and turns each chapter into a storyboard: the key moments painted and placed beside the passage they come from.
- A face for every nameEach named character gets a portrait drawn from the author's own description, with a short note on who they are.
- Picture it your waySee a character differently? Describe them and Book2Life redraws the portrait, and their scenes follow your version.
- Create a sceneChoose a moment and illustrate it: any passage you select, or one of the scenes suggested from the pages you just read.
- Image Creator · PremiumCompose your own scene: pick characters from the book, describe the moment, and Book2Life paints it, with ideas drawn from what you've already read.
- Bring your own images · PremiumHave a picture in mind already? Add your own art from Photos or Files for a character, a place or an object, and it takes the AI version's place in your book.
- Every picture, spoiler-safeEach book keeps its scenes, settings and your creations in one library, grouped by chapter, and pictures from pages you haven't reached stay behind a curtain.
- Covers that move · PremiumBring a book's AI cover to life as a short animated loop that plays in your library and in Discover.
Hear it
- Narration that follows alongListen to any book while the words light up as they're read, in a natural AI voice, a voice generated right on your iPhone or iPad, or the free system voice.
- Ambience · PremiumRain, forest, ocean, a thunderstorm and dozens more soundscapes, mixed quietly under your reading or listening.
Understand it
- Explain, visualize, summarizeSelect any passage for a plain-English explanation, a picture of the moment, or a summary of what just happened.
- Ask the Book · PremiumAsk about a character, a plot point or an idea, and get an answer from the book that stops at the page you're on.
- Previously on…Back after a break? The book opens with a short recap of where you left off, like the start of a TV episode.
- Study guidesChapter-by-chapter summaries and illustrated character pages for the classics.
