Free Comic Maker: No Drawing Needed
koma.ink gives every new account 30 free credits, no card needed. That covers one script and roughly 4 drawn panels, enough for a short 4-panel strip. You type the idea, the AI does the writing and drawing.

How to make a comic for free
- 1
Create a free account
Sign in with your email. 30 credits are added to the account, no card needed.
- 2
Type your idea
One or two sentences is enough. Pick the Strip format and ask for a 4-panel strip, which is the cheapest way to finish a short comic on free credits.
- 3
Check the script
The AI writes the script first (3 credits). Read it, and edit any line of dialogue before anything is drawn, so credits are not spent on panels you would change.
- 4
Draw the panels
Each panel in the Best quality costs 6 credits. Speech bubbles, captions and sound effects are lettered automatically.
- 5
Download or share
Download the panels as PNGs or share a link with a preview image.
What the free credits cover
Credits are how koma.ink charges for work the AI does: writing a script costs 3 credits and drawing one Best-quality panel costs 6. The 30 welcome credits are a one-time grant, not a monthly allowance, and they are sized so a new user can finish one short comic and judge the result.
The cheapest way to stretch them is to read the script before drawing, keep the idea to a single setup and punchline, and use the Strip format.
What “free” does and does not include
The free credits are real: no card is needed to sign up and nothing renews into a subscription. Two honest limits to know about before you start:
- Comics made on a free account carry a small “made with koma.ink” mark on shared pages and PNG downloads. Buying any credit pack removes it.
- Once the credits are gone you need a credit pack to keep generating. There is no monthly free tier.
If you need more than one comic
Credit packs are one-off purchases, not subscriptions:
- 150 credits for $5.99
- 350 credits for $12.99
- 800 credits for $24.99
- Teachers can use the Classroom plan, $35 per month with 1,200 credits shared by the class
