Your art library

Every picture you generate or upload — page art, covers, character portraits, puzzle borders, promotion images — goes into one library that belongs to you, not to the book it was made for. Any book can use any of it.

Where you find it

On the bookshelf, open Artwork (beside Characters, under Library). Every picture you own is there at a size worth looking at, with filters for the kind of picture, the book it was made in, and whether it was made with AI or uploaded. Open a picture to see it large, with its size, how large it prints at 300 DPI, where it is used and the prompt it was made from. From there you can download the original or delete it, and Upload adds a picture you want to keep for later.

Using a picture in a room

In a room, Add a picture opens the picture sheet. It is the same in the page designer (the Image tool, or Pictures in the rail), the Cover Studio (Image) and the Promotion Studio (Picture):

• Library — choose from your artwork.
• Upload — drop a file, paste one, or choose it: PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG. It is kept in your library too. An SVG — vector art you drew or bought — prints sharp at any size, so it is never flagged for resolution; anything in the file that is not part of the drawing (scripts, links to other files) is removed before it is saved. The Promotion Studio keeps its pictures small and turns an SVG into an ordinary image.
• Generate — describe a picture and it is drawn to fit the frame's shape; in a layout book, in the book's own art style. The price is shown on the button, and depends on the image model in use.
• Empty frame (page designer) — a frame to fill later.

You can also drop or paste an image straight onto the page or cover. Dropped on a picture, it replaces that picture; anywhere else, it is added. Replace picture… in the inspector swaps a picture while keeping its frame.

The cast (Choose from your art) and word search and sudoku borders (Use one from your art) open the library the same way.

The library in the sheet has three tabs:

• This book — what this book has made, grouped the way the room needs it.
• All my art — everything you own, grouped by the book it was made in. Filter by kind (pages, covers, borders, uploads), keep to this book's style (line art or colour), or search the prompt and the book's title. Pictures from books you have deleted are under Not in a book on your shelf.
• Characters — portraits, by character.

Picking a picture costs nothing: it already exists.

Images you attach in an assistant or Cover Director conversation are uploads too, and appear here with the rest.

A picture keeps what it is

A picture placed in another book carries its own facts with it:

• Whether it was made with AI. That is what the release board declares to the store, so an AI picture reused in a second book is still declared as AI there, and your own upload is not.
• Its pixel size. A picture made for a small cover and reused on a large page is checked against the large page, and flagged if it is too soft to print.
• Its style. A painted picture used as a coloring book's character reference is described to the model as painted.

Deleting

Open a picture in Artwork (or hold it in the sheet) to see where it is used — every book, page, cover, series and character, not just the room you are in. Delete is offered only for a picture used nowhere, and the check is made again at the moment you delete, so a picture placed in another tab a minute ago is safe.

Deleting is permanent. A picture made with AI would have to be made, and paid for, again.

Deleting a book

A book's pictures stay in your library when the book is deleted. The delete dialog offers, unticked:

Also delete the N pictures only this book used (X MB)

Tick it to free that space. It takes only pictures made for that book that nothing else uses — a picture another book uses, a series' art or a character's portrait always stays.

Storage

Pictures are kept at print resolution, so they take real space — a full-page illustration is around 6 MB. Each plan includes artwork storage:

Artwork → Storage & clean-up shows how much you are using, and lists the pictures used nowhere — earlier versions you replaced, and art from books you deleted. Select the ones you no longer want and delete them; nothing is selected for you. Settings → Artwork storage shows the same meter.

When storage is full, a new render or upload is refused before any credits are spent, with a message pointing to that list. Nothing is ever deleted for you.
