How barnbok.ai handles your images and your privacy
What happens to uploaded photos, manuscripts and illustrations when you create books on barnbok.ai?
Why privacy matters
When you create personal children's books, you upload photos of your child and write a unique manuscript. It is natural to wonder where the images are stored, who can see them and how they are used in AI generation.
On barnbok.ai:
- Your books and images are tied to your account when you are signed in
- Uploaded photos are used as reference for character and page illustrations
- Manuscripts and illustrations are saved so you can continue later in the library
"Personal children's books are built on trust – your family photos should be handled carefully and only used to create your book."
What is stored, and where?
When you sign in, drafts, manuscripts and generated illustrations are stored in the cloud. That lets you:
- Continue a book from any device
- Find finished books in the Library
- Reuse characters in new stories
Without signing in you can try writing a manuscript locally in the browser, but the book is not saved permanently and illustrations cannot be generated.
AI and your uploads
The reference photo is analyzed to understand age, appearance and character traits – so the illustrations resemble the child in the chosen style. The image is used as a reference for illustration, not as publicly shared content.
Tips for safer use:
- Use a photo you are comfortable uploading
- Do not share login details – the library is personal
- Remove books you no longer want to keep via the library
Children and content
Barnbok.ai is built for stories for children. Choose reading age and tone in Adjust (photo flow) or already on the start page under Own idea (0–2, 3–4, 5–6 or 7+ years) so the manuscript is adapted. Always review the manuscript before you illustrate – you have full control to edit text and ask for rewrites.
Conclusion
Your photos and stories are used to create your book – not as general training material you share with other users. Sign in when you want to save, illustrate and download a PDF, and manage your books in the library whenever you like.
