Gift-wrapped link
They open a gift box on their phone or laptop, then read the comic page by page. Works anywhere, arrives instantly — perfect for family far away.
▸ The Christmas gift nobody else will give
Give a comic starring your family
Upload a few photos, tell Sidekick the story — the year Dad burnt the turkey, the dog who opened every present. It writes and draws a real comic. Then wrap it so they unwrap it on screen.

▸ How it works
From photos to present in an evening
- 1
Cast your family
Upload a photo of each person, or the dog. Sidekick turns them into comic characters who look the same on every page.
- 2
Tell the story
A sentence is enough. Sidekick writes the script; you change any line, panel or page you like.
- 3
Wrap it up
Switch on “Wrap it as a Christmas gift” when you publish. Add who it’s to, who it’s from, and a short note.

They unwrap it
Send the link. They tap a gift box, the lid pops, and the cover spins out into their hands.
▸ Made with ComicInk
A Family X’mas Together
One family, one kitchen, far too much flour. Made from a handful of family photos.

Wrapped, printed, or played
Print-ready PDF
Download a high-resolution PDF and print it at home or at a print shop, or tuck the pages into a card.
Narrated story video

▸ Questions
Before you wrap
Do they need an account to open the gift?
No. Anyone with the link can unwrap and read it, on any phone or computer.
How much does it cost?
New accounts start with 100 free credits and no card, enough to start your cast and first pages. A monthly plan covers a full comic and more.
Can I use photos of my kids?
Yes. Photos are only used to design your characters, and uploaded reference photos are deleted two hours after upload.
Can I change the story after it’s drawn?
Yes. Edit any line or panel and redraw just that page. The first two fixes on every page are free.
Can they replay the unwrap?
Yes. There’s a Replay gift button in the reader, so the reveal works again at the Christmas table.
