Getting Started with Gootaku

Gootaku turns a written scene into finished manga panels, comic pages, anime GIFs, short videos, or a wobbling animated image — no drawing skill required. You write what you see; the AI draws it.

The five makers

• Comic / Manga Maker — multi-panel stories. Manga reads right-to-left with

black-and-white line art; Comic reads left-to-right in full color.

• GIF Maker — short looping animated reactions and stickers, 3+ frames.
• Video Maker — 5-15 second AI anime video clips with camera and motion prompts.
• Wobble Maker — turn any still image into a looping "living photo" GIF, no

AI generation involved -- it's a local animation effect.

• Character Creator — design a character once (or upload art you already

have) and reuse their face, hair and outfit across every panel you generate.

Open any of them from Studio (top nav, or gootaku.com/studio).

Tokens, in short

• 1 token = 1 image. Every panel, frame, or character sheet you generate

costs 1 token.

• Free plan: 10 tokens every month, reset automatically. No card required.
• Token packs (Starter, Creator) are one-time purchases -- tokens never

expire once bought. There is no subscription.

• A failed generation always refunds automatically. If something breaks --

content check, a bad AI response, a timeout -- you get the token back within seconds. You never have to ask for that manually.

• See Tokens & Billing for the full picture,

including Wobble's one free export.

Your work is never lost mid-edit

Everything you type or generate in a maker is saved to a local draft in your browser as you go -- you don't need to hit Save to avoid losing it if the tab closes or crashes. Save and Publish are for something different: they copy your project to your account so you can find it again from another device, share it, or submit it to the community feed. See Saving, Publishing & Exporting.

If something looks stuck

• A panel that's spun on "Generating..." for more than ~3 minutes: reload the

tab. The generation keeps running on our servers even if your tab closes, and reopening the same project recovers the finished image automatically -- you won't lose the token or have to regenerate.

• Still stuck, or a generation failed and didn't refund? Use the feedback

button in the bottom-right corner of any page and tell us what you were doing -- see Getting Help.
