Most Father's Day gifts follow the same script — a card, a mug that says something about grilling, socks he'll never open. LuluStories does something no shop shelf can: it turns Dad's actual face into the illustrated hero of his own adventure story, alongside the kids who think he already is one. Upload a photo, and watch him try to act unimpressed while clearly filing it away as the best gift he's gotten in years.

Most personalised gifts stop at a name on a mug. LuluStories goes further: upload a photo of Dad and AI transforms his actual face into a consistent illustrated character who appears throughout the entire story — the same features, the same likeness, from the first page to the last, on an adventure alongside his own kids.
He's spent years being the one drawn in the kids' crayon pictures. This time, the illustration is good enough to frame!
A clear phone photo of Dad's face is all you need. LuluStories turns it into a consistent illustrated character on every single page of the story — this time, he's the one starring in it.
Enter the kids' names and ages, then the things that make Dad, Dad — his go-to dad joke, his signature move on the barbecue, the nickname only he uses, what the kids think makes him a hero.
Pick from Watercolour, Cinematic 3D, Studio Ghibli-inspired, Anime, Cartoon, and more. Comic-book style is a popular choice for this one, for obvious reasons.
The full illustrated story is ready in minutes. Read it together digitally, download as a PDF, or order a premium printed hardcover for Dad's shelf — right next to the trophies he definitely earned himself.
Free to create. No account needed. Upload a photo, add the details, and see Dad as the star of his own story in minutes.

“I made this with the kids without my husband knowing. He opened it expecting a card and found himself drawn as a superhero rescuing our daughter's stuffed rabbit. He read it twice before he said a word.”
“My dad does not cry. My dad cried.”
“I've gotten a lot of ties over the years. This is the first Father's Day gift I've actually kept on my desk.”
