Common Questions
How long does it take?
Your preview is ready in under 3 minutes. The full book takes under 5 minutes to generate.
Is my data safe?
Your photos are sent only to our AI illustration provider to draw your book, then deleted from our systems as soon as it is generated. They are never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models.
What if I don’t like the result?
Your first preview is completely free — no payment required. You only pay if you love it and want the full book.
What ages is this for?
DadTale is designed for children ages 1–5. The stories, language, and illustrations are crafted for toddlers and preschoolers.
What if it doesn’t look like my child?
Tell us and we’ll redo those pages free, usually the same day. AI likenesses aren’t perfect every time — that’s why fixing them is part of the deal, not an extra.
Can I make changes after it’s made?
Yes. Email us about any page you’re not happy with and we’ll regenerate it at no charge. We don’t currently offer a self-serve redo button — a person looks at every request.
Is the book mine to keep?
Yes — it is yours to keep, print, and share privately with family. One honest note: US copyright law does not currently protect AI-generated illustrations, so we cannot claim copyright in the artwork and neither can anyone else.
Can Mom or Grandma use it too?
Of course. The stories are written around a father–child pair because that’s the bond we set out to support, but anyone raising a child can create one and read it together.
Do you make books in Spanish?
Yes — switch the language to ES before you start and the whole book, the bonding question and the memory card are written in Spanish.
Your child may not remember every day.
But they will remember bedtime with you.
Your first preview is free. Each book is just US$8.
