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 your Comic, Manga and GIF panels.

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

Tokens, in short

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

costs 1 token. Videos cost more (3, 6 or 9 tokens for 5, 10 or 15 seconds).

• Free tokens: 1 token when you sign up, then +1 free token you can claim

every 2 days, with a +3 bonus on every 7th claim in a row. No card required. Free tokens don't reset or disappear -- unused ones stay in your balance.

• Token packs (Trial, Starter, Creator) are one-time purchases -- tokens never

expire once bought. There is no subscription.

• A failed generation refunds automatically. If something breaks -- a bad

AI response, a timeout, a job interrupted on our side -- the token comes back to your balance on its own. 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.
