Your family’s photos are safe with us
Photos stay private
A photo is only used to draw that person as a character. Shared stories show the drawing, never the photo.
Stories are private until you share
A shared story must pass a safety check first, and you can stop sharing whenever you like.
Delete it all
Delete your account and your photos, pictures and stories are deleted with it.
Who makes the pictures
Pictures and words are made by AI from OpenAI and Google. CreateStories.app does not train AI on your photos or stories.
Only add a photo of someone who is happy to be in the story. For other people’s children, ask their parent first. Read our privacy policy
Questions
Can we make a story for each night?
You can! A pack of 5 Story Tokens is $9.99, so two packs cover all eight nights.
Who can read our story?
Only you, unless you choose to share it. Sharing gives you a private link to send to family.
Is it safe for children?
Story Helper is made for ages 7–13 and keeps everything gentle and age-appropriate. Stories are private unless you choose to share them, and uploaded photos are never shown to anyone else.
