How It Works

From Raw EPUB To Illustrated Reading In Three Steps

Bookworm keeps the flow simple: import, analyze, and generate. It works as an image companion across fiction, history, and biography, and you only pay for the AI outputs you choose.

Step 1

Import EPUB

Bring in any DRM-free EPUB from your library.

Books appear in your library immediately and analysis starts in the background.

Step 2

Analyze Story

Bookworm detects major points, characters, locations, and world elements.

Analysis is free. You can read right away while AI processing completes.

Step 3

Generate Visuals

Pick your style and quality tier, then generate scene images and variants.

Mix styles or tiers chapter-by-chapter and use custom image generation on highlights.
