Question 1

Is it free to start?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sign up free, explore pathways, and publish your first comic without paying. You only spend when you buy Ink Credits, subscribe to a creator, or list paid products.

Question 2

What can I create?

Accepted Answer

Full comic books, short stories, character bibles, world maps, storyboards, and serialized issues — guided by AI pathways for local heroes, festivals, universes and more.

Question 3

Who owns the comics I create?

Accepted Answer

You do. Comiqly is a tool — your stories, characters, and pages remain yours to publish, sell, or license.

Question 4

What are coins?

Accepted Answer

Coins are the reader currency. 1 coin = $0.10. Use them to tip creators or unlock paid chapters. Creators withdraw earnings as real payouts.

Question 5

How do creator payouts work?

Accepted Answer

When a reader buys your comic, tips you, subscribes, or licenses a character, your share lands in your creator balance. Payouts ship through our payment partner (rolling out soon).

Question 6

What is Star Roster?

Accepted Answer

A character licensing marketplace. Popular characters can be rented for cameos in other creators' comics — owners earn rental fees automatically.

Question 7

Can I read on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the reader is responsive and supports vertical Webtoon-style scrolling, page-by-page navigation, and resume-where-you-left-off.

Question 8

Do I need to draw?

Accepted Answer

No drawing skills required. The AI handles art using your character bible and style choices — you focus on story, world, and beats.

Question 9

What are Ink Credits (IC)?

Accepted Answer

Ink Credits power every AI action in Comiqly. 1 IC is roughly ₹1 / $0.012. Generating a standard page, cover, or storyboard deducts IC from your wallet.

Question 10

How do I buy more IC?

Accepted Answer

Open your wallet and choose a top-up pack. Packs start at 200 IC for $2 and scale up to 5,000 IC with bonus credits. You can also enable auto top-up so generation never pauses.

Question 11

What happens if my wallet is short during generation?

Accepted Answer

The wizard shows a live cost estimate before it runs. If your balance is too low, you can top up in one click or turn on auto top-up to buy the smallest pack that covers the shortfall.

Question 12

Are failed generations refunded?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If an image or page fails to render, the IC charge is refunded automatically and shown on your generation receipt.

Question 13

What export formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Web reader, PDF, CBZ archive, and print-ready files. Web is always free; PDF, CBZ, and print exports carry a small IC surcharge.

Question 14

Do exports cost extra?

Accepted Answer

Web export is included. PDF adds 15 IC, CBZ adds 10 IC, and print-ready export adds 40 IC per run. The estimate panel totals these before you generate.

Question 15

Can I download a watermark-free file?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans export without watermarks. The free Starter plan keeps a small watermark on downloads — upgrade to Creator or Studio to remove it.

Question 16

How do I turn a comic into a series?

Accepted Answer

From your project, choose 'Promote to Series'. Comiqly creates a series shell, links the current issue as #1, and lets you add new issues with automatic issue numbering.

Question 17

How does continuity work across issues?

Accepted Answer

Each issue can extract key canon events into a shared series bible. Future issues read that canon so characters, places, and plot points stay consistent.

Question 18

Can I schedule future issues?

Accepted Answer

Issues are published manually today. Scheduled drops are on the roadmap and will let you queue an issue to go live at a future date.

Question 19

Do readers get notified when a new issue drops?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Followers of the series creator receive an in-app notification and email alert when a new issue is published.
