What's new in My Story

My Story comes to the web

The first full release of My Story on the web. Kids can make, narrate, share and print their own storybooks in any browser, on a Chromebook, Mac or PC, with a grown-up in charge of the account. There's nothing to install, and there are no ads.

• Make a book, page by page

  Draw with pencils, crayons and markers, write the story on every page and give it a cover. Books are saved to your account, so they're waiting wherever you sign in.

• A whole cast, ready to go

  Hundreds of characters and backgrounds, plus moving stickers, GIFs, photos and 3D models, so a scene comes together fast.

• Their voice on every page

  Record narration page by page, add a soundtrack, and play the finished book back like a movie.

• A whole book from one idea

  Full Magic Story turns an idea into an illustrated book, and Explore a Topic builds one around something your child wants to learn about.

• Magic tools on every page

  Continue the story with Magic Pages, create characters and stickers, bring art to life with Magic Animate, and add narration or music with Magic Narrate and Magic Soundtracks.

• Story Guide

  A friendly helper to chat with when a young author is stuck on what happens next.

• Memory Books

  Turn a handful of family photos into a storybook to keep.

• Story Sparks

  Magic tools run on Story Sparks. Every tool shows its cost before you use it, and buying more always asks for a grown-up first.

• Share it with family

  Send a finished book to grandparents and friends with a private link.

• The Community Library

  Read books by other families and by the My Story team. A grown-up can submit a book, and every story is reviewed and shown under a pen name.

• Order a printed book

  Turn any book into a full-color printed picture book, previewed page by page before you order and delivered to your door.

• Grown-ups in charge

  A parent PIN, a PIN for each author, controls for sharing, outside media and Magic tools, and a grown-up check before any purchase. You can export or delete everything at any time.

• Works with the iPad and iPhone app

  Sign in to the same account in the free iPad or iPhone app and your books stay in sync.

• Install it like an app

  Add My Story to your computer or Chromebook from Settings, and open it like any other app.
