A Looma personalized book with photo is a 36-page illustrated story with your child as the hero: they are drawn from their photo, the same child on every page, with up to 4 loved ones drawn the same way. The eBook is €3.99 and the premium hardcover €24.99 more, delivered in 10 to 14 business days in Europe, in 6 languages.
Many personalized books add a name to a generic character, or paste a face onto ready-made drawings. Here the character is drawn from your photo: their hair, their glasses, the sweater they never take off. When your child opens the book, they recognize themselves.
You choose the theme, the art style and the loved ones who come along. You read the whole book before you approve it, change a sentence, have a scene redrawn. Only then does the hardcover go to print.

Frequently asked questions
How does my child's photo become the character?
We do not paste their face onto a ready-made drawing. Your child is fully redrawn from their photo in the art style you choose: face, hair, clothes. It is the same child on all 36 pages, and the story is written around them.
Which photo should I upload?
A clear photo with the face fully visible and normal light. An everyday phone photo works. Avoid blurry shots and faces that are cut off or hidden. If you have several, upload a few: we draw each character from them.
How many characters can be in the book?
Up to 5 characters, each drawn from their own photos: your child, siblings, parents, grandparents, a best friend, even the family dog or a favorite teddy.
What happens to my child's photo?
It is used only to create and review your book. It is not used for marketing, public galleries or AI model training without your explicit permission, and we never sell your data. Uploaded photos are deleted no later than 12 weeks after the book is created.
Can I see the book before I order?
Yes. You read the whole book on screen, change any sentence and have up to 12 illustrations redrawn. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
Are the illustrations made with AI?
Yes. The illustrations are made with the help of AI from your photos, in the art style you choose, and you review them page by page before anything is printed.
How much does a personalized book with photo cost?
€3.99 for the eBook, with edits and up to 12 illustration regenerations included. The premium hardcover is €24.99 more, shipping calculated at checkout. No subscription.
How long does delivery take?
The eBook is ready as soon as you approve the story. The hardcover is printed after approval and delivered in 10 to 14 business days across Europe (5 to 7 days of printing, then 5 to 7 days of shipping depending on the method).
