Drawing takes too long to post every day
One line → three story options → finished art. Or stop at the layout, check the pacing, then draw.
For comic artists & webcomic creators
Turn one line of text into a comic strip
You have the jokes, but drawing every panel stops you posting. BunCho turns one line into three four-panel story options, then takes the one you pick through layout, art and speech balloons. Mix in your own hand-drawn pages, or redraw only the panels you don't like.

Comic artists: common problems and how BunCho solves them
AI characters look different in every panel
Make a character sheet and lock it: every panel uses the same face, hair and outfit. Expression sheets come in one batch.
Sizes and file formats for each platform

How a comic strip gets made
-
Write the idea in one line
Choose "4-panel" and type the idea. Three versions of the story beats appear; pick the punchline you like.
-
Lock your characters
Make a character sheet and lock it so every panel draws the same person.
-
Finish and export
Dialogue goes into speech balloons. Export PNG, PDF, TIFF, PSD or webtoon slices.
Comic artists: why BunCho
Three formats
Four-panel strips (vertical, 2×2 or horizontal), page manga for print and zines, and vertical-scroll webtoons.
Mix with hand-drawn work
Import layered PSD files from CLIP STUDIO PAINT or Photoshop into the same manuscript as AI panels.
Pick the art quality per work
Economy, Standard or High quality: rough out layouts cheaply and save high quality for the final pass.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I make comics from text with AI?
- Yes. Type one line, choose one of three story options, and the studio produces the panel layout, art and speech balloons.
- Can I keep my character consistent across comics?
- Yes. Lock a character sheet and every new panel uses the same face, hair and outfit.
- Can I export for Instagram or WEBTOON CANVAS?
- Strips come in vertical, 2×2 or horizontal layouts as a single image for social media. Webtoons export as WEBTOON CANVAS slices (800 px wide, up to 1280 px tall).
- How many credits does a strip use?
- It depends on the number of panels and the art quality; you see an estimate before it runs. Strips made on our own GPUs use 0 credits on Feast, Full Course and Team (fair-use limits apply).
