The Studio

Getting Started

Make your first comic in under ten minutes, on your phone, with no drawing skill required.

From New to shared, in one pass

You do not need to draw, and you do not need a plan. The Wizard walks you through everything, one step at a time.

Start by clicking New in the top toolbar, then choose your page dimensions.

The New button in the Panel Haus top toolbar — Click New in the top toolbar to start a fresh comic.

When the workflow chooser opens, pick Wizard for the full guided flow.

Choose Your Workflow dialog with the Wizard option highlighted — Choose Wizard for full control: story, panels, and layout, step by step.

The Wizard, step by step

The Wizard builds your page in order, so each choice sets up the next.

1. Characters

Choose or create who is in your story. Give each character a name, a description, and a style, and the generator keeps them on-model. Pull one straight from your World Vault, or generate a new one.

The Characters step of the Wizard — Define your cast: name, description, palette, and style.

2. Story

Write what happens. Type it yourself, or tap Polish Story to let AI tighten it up. Drop in references from your World Vault so the AI knows who is who.

The Story step of the Wizard — Write your story, then polish it with one tap.

3. Panels

Generate the panel images. The Wizard turns your story into panels, each with its own visual description, lens, angle, and mood. Regenerate any panel until it reads right.

The Panels step of the Wizard — Generate every panel, then fine-tune lens, angle, and mood.

4. Layout

Arrange the panels on the page, pick a layout, and apply it to the canvas. Your comic is ready to letter and export.

The Layout step of the Wizard — Place your panels, choose a layout, and apply to the canvas.

Add your words

When the Wizard is done, open the Dialogue menu to add any dialogue, SFX, or narration to the page. This is where your comic finds its voice.

The Text and Speech Bubbles panel open in the Panel Haus editor — Open the Dialogue menu to add speech bubbles, captions, and sound effects.

Export, then go again

Export and share your finished page, then start the next one. Each page gets a little faster as the flow becomes second nature.

The Export Comic dialog in Panel Haus — Export as a PDF or PNG, choose your quality, and share straight to X.

Export and GIF Studio on Panel Haus mobile — Export & GIF Studio

Baking is the one thing that works differently on mobile. Instead of keeping your text as an editable layer, Panel Haus runs another AI pass that draws the words right into the image, so each panel comes out finished and share-ready.

Want movement? The mobile flow includes a GIF Studio: bring your panels to life as an animated GIF, then share that instead of a still. It is the fastest way to make something that moves, right from your phone.

When it looks right, export as a PNG or a GIF and send it out into the world.
