Book Creator is the simplest way for students to show what they know. Make your own ebooks, comics, journals, and portfolios on iPad, then share them as an ePub, PDF, or video. Works fully offline.
Book Creator is now part of the Kami family. Together, our products make learning visible, accessible, and meaningful.
** OVER 250 million books have been made in Book Creator since 2011 **
BUILT FOR CLASSROOMS WITHOUT WIFI
The iPad app runs entirely on the device, with no account and no internet connection needed. That makes it a good fit for schools with limited connectivity, one-to-one iPad programs, and students working away from the classroom.
Books stay on the device rather than in an account, so there's no login for students to remember.
WHAT STUDENTS CAN MAKE
Picture books, comics, poetry, science journals, how-to guides, reading portfolios, class newsletters, and anything else worth keeping. Book Creator works across every subject and every age group.
* Write with over 50 fonts, in portrait, landscape, or square
* Add photos from the camera or camera roll
* Record voice, music, and video straight onto the page
* Draw and annotate with the pen tool
* Build comics with templates, panels, speech bubbles, and stickers
* Resize, rotate, and position everything with snap guides
WAYS TO SHARE
* Read the finished book in Apple Books
* Export as an ePub, a PDF, or a video file
* Send by email, AirDrop, or a cloud service such as Google Drive or iCloud Drive
* Print with AirPrint
* Publish a book online to share with families
MADE FOR EVERY LEARNER
Students who find writing difficult can record their voice instead. Students learning a new language can pair images with words. Students who need more time can keep adding to a book across a whole term.
Book Creator has always been built so that every learner can take part in the same task, in their own way.
A NOTE ON FIXED LAYOUT BOOKS
Book Creator uses the international ePub standard and supports fixed layout books, including double page spreads and soundtracks. Fixed layout isn't suited to long novels where text reflows from page to page, and you can't paste in large amounts of text from other documents.
BOOK CREATOR FOR THE WHOLE CLASS
Book Creator online is a separate product available for teachers who want live access to student work. Teachers set up class libraries, view every book as students write, give feedback in place, and choose from hundreds of ready-made templates. Student accounts are free.
The two products work independently and don't sync with each other. See app.bookcreator.com to compare them.
SUPPORT
The app includes a Getting Started manual. For help articles and email support, see bookcreator.com/support.
I have used this app a lot in my classroom. We. Are class books all the time and I can print them and send them to parents to read in iBooks. At home. I love that I can print the books on our school printer. However I wish they did not have to be whole pages. I would love for the option to print 4 book pages per piece of copy paper. I also wish photos could be edited/ cropped in the app. It would also be nice to be able to make books on longer legal size paper.
Just published first ebook of our series prepared with book creator app

If you are looking for an app to prepare an ePub for a children's book, Book Creator app for iPad produces a beautiful ePub3. We varied the font and font size, boldness and color. We chose a square book format, but other shapes and sizes are available. We were also able to choose page color and vary page color throughout the book. We included a short video, in lieu of an illustration on one page. There is the option to narrate your book or have the app narrate it and light up the word being read. There is an automatic page turning option. Air dropping illustrations from your iPad or iPhone is very easy. For book 2 in our series, we are doing more illustrations directly onto the iPad/book creator page with a stylus. For our needs, the app is easy to use and offers all of the features we needed. We have been asked to conduct a seminar for teachers and writers on preparing an ebook with Book Creator for iPad at a local college next month.The only problem we encountered was submitting a table of contents to Apple's iTunes Producer. There were instructions in Book Creator for preparing a TOC to submit to Apple, but we did not get it right. The folks at Apple were nice enough to redo our TOC. UPDATE: The first three multi-media books in our series are in the Kids section for ages 6-8 on the Apple Book Store. With each new book, we have found new ways to creatively use the features of this app. As requested by teachers, we are now preparing a read-aloud format of our books for children who are younger than 6, struggling a little with reading, English language learners, or visually impaired. We are using the "add sound" feature of Book Creator with an iPad headset. Our narrator is awesome, but the "light up words" and "automatic page turning" features of the app only work with the digital voices the app provides, which lack expression and phrasing. Any new developments in the works to enhance making read-aloud?
Nothing wrong about it at all!

This is absolutely in my top two favorite games! It’s the only writing game that actually lets me do what I want to do I love the comic future, I love how you can change the font, and add pictures, change the colors of the words, add a background to the words and to the page, and you can use pen to draw and add emoji’s, You get to do whatever you want and there are no rules, you can add the author and title into a description, you can change the short tutorial, you can print books too! there’s nothing I don’t like about the app! so far I’ve made precisely 97 books! Thank you so so so so so so so so so much for making this app!
The best and fully recommended!😀 1 thing though…

I always wanted to make books. Comic books and novels. I have always been looking for them, until now! This app can make comics and novels perfectly! One thing though, on the comic sheets there is a mode for 6 panels. Great, but the 2 middle panels are in the middle of the page. Now, if I wanted to make a real book I wouldn’t want that. Plus, it would be really hard to read. Anyways, that isn’t too bad, just annoying so I still rate it a 5/5 stars and very recommended.
Fixes adding external items from "Shared" tab.
