Stories Beyond the Frame
Turn photos into hand-drawn story posters
Showcase
Description
Photos record visible reality; a second world tells the unseen possibilities. Upload a photo to discover the unfinished story within it, then let the real photograph naturally extend into a hand-drawn imagination. The result is a creative 3:4 portrait poster with brief, evocative narration in Chinese and English. No need to come up with a theme or copy—each photo is created independently, giving everyday images an extra layer of story.

ImagePhoto Second World Posters
Upload an ordinary photo, and the skill will identify its most distinctive “physical visual structure”—not just the subject—then extend it into a second world. The real-photo area stays 100% faithful, preserving the original colors, lighting, and texture without recoloring or redrawing, and occupies the main part of the composition, about two-thirds of the image. The other section naturally grows from a warm cream paper background in soft watercolor or minimal black line art, creating an organic blend where the real and illustrated areas flow into each other rather than meeting at a clear dividing line. The poster also includes one minimal line-art figure interacting with the structure and a short handwritten note, resulting in a creative poster with the feel of an independent art magazine or photobook. It supports five approaches: torn-paper extension, watercolor second world, photo × minimal black lines, soft-edge blending, and turning objects into pictures. The workflow has two steps: review and confirm the creative concept first, then generate the image by feeding the real style anchor image into the image-generation model and checking each element. The skill includes five built-in style anchor images.
ImageStoryful Sketch Photo
Turn one or more photos into 3:4 editorial posters with a premium design: the upper half preserves the original photography, while the lower half becomes a black-and-white crayon sketch illustration. Each poster includes a restrained title and short line of text, with the language following your input. Ideal for turning everyday photos into magazine-style or vintage picture-book-inspired cover images. Each photo becomes its own poster; multiple photos are never combined into one scene.
ImageDraw That Day | Photo Poster
Some photos deserve another page. Upload a travel, walking, or everyday photo to create a keepsake poster where the photo meets hand-drawn scenery. The photo preserves that moment, while watercolor and colored pencil continue the scene beyond its edges. You can get: ① A keepsake poster: 2:3 portrait format by default, with a warm paper texture and no text. ② A grounded extension: starting from the sky, coast, road, or room in your photo, hand-drawn elements echo the original setting. ③ A note about photo preservation: when compositing is supported, the photo layer can be retained; with generative editing only, details may change, and this will be explained. ④ An optional short caption: use a sentence, location, or date you provide to preserve a little of how you felt at the time. Suitable for travel memories, everyday keepsakes, and social sharing. One image by default; it does not automatically create a full storybook. The scene beyond the photo is an artistic creation, not a recreation of the actual surroundings. Generation and compositing depend on the platform's current image tools and usage limits. We do not promise that the original photo will remain completely unchanged using a generative model alone. If the tools are unavailable, this will be stated clearly and a complete prompt will be provided.
