Make a comic strip starring your brand mascot
Last updated: 2026-11-10
If your business has a mascot, a character or a logo with a face, you can turn it into a short cartoon comic strip in a few minutes, with no drawing skills. Up to 2 free comics to start, no card needed.
This guide walks through what you do in Mascotto Comics, in order, and what you get at the end. Mascotto Comics writes and draws the strip for you: you bring the character and, if you like, the idea.
What you need before you start
- A picture of your mascot: a logo character, a drawing, or a photo of a plush toy or a costume. PNG, JPEG, WebP and HEIC files work. No picture yet? You can describe the character in words instead.
- A free account. No card is needed to try it.
- Optional: a one-line idea for the strip, or a short script if you already know the story.
Step by step
- Sign in and open the Studio. Create a free account, then open the Studio tab. Your saved characters live in the same place as the comic maker.
- Add your mascot. Choose "New mascot" and upload your art with "Upload art / photo". The app looks at the picture and fills in a written description of the character for you. Read it and correct anything that is off.
- Give it a name and a personality. Name is the only required field. Species or type, a short personality line (for example "anxious optimist, always hungry"), traits, and a height compared with an adult human are optional. The personality shapes how the character talks in your strips.
- Lock the character. Press "Lock character". Your uploaded image is kept as it is, free of charge. If you want a cleaner, comic-style version of your mascot, there is an optional paid extra for that, and you can switch back to your own image at any time. Once locked, the mascot is saved and you can reuse it in every strip.
- Pick how you want to make the strip. Below your mascots, pick one of three ways:
- Wing It: give a thin idea, one line is enough, and the strip is developed from it.
- Surprise Me: one click and nothing to type; every roll is a fresh situation.
- Script It: paste your own panel-by-panel brief and the strip is built from your beats.
- Choose your mascot in the Cast section. Pick your saved mascot under Mascots. You can also add ready-made stock characters, and your picks combine in one strip.
- Set the tone and size, or leave both on automatic. Tone options include Whimsical, Deadpan, Wry, Heartwarming, Slapstick and Satirical. Format options run from a single panel to a Sunday six-panel page. Single panel, 2-panel and 3-panel are included on the free plan; the 4-panel format starts on Starter, and 5-panel strips and Sunday six-panel pages start on Creator. Leave format on "Best fit" and the panel count is fitted to your idea.
- Press the make button and wait. A strip can take a few minutes to draw. It is saved to My Comics automatically.
- Review, redraw, download and share. If a strip is not quite right, use Re-render for another take; paid plans include free re-renders on each comic; after those, or on the free plan, a re-render uses credits. Then download the image, copy it, or share it straight to X, Telegram, Reddit, WhatsApp or LINE.
What you get
- A finished cartoon comic strip, with the dialogue lettered inside the panels, starring your own character.
- A square image, so it fits social feeds without cropping.
- A mascot you save once and reuse in every strip, so it stays recognisable. Check each strip before you post it.
- A library in My Comics with every strip you have made.
Tips for business comics
- One idea per strip. A single joke or a single customer moment lands better than a list of features.
- Pick the tone to match your brand. A heartwarming strip suits a family cafe; deadpan suits a software tool.
- Use Script It when the message matters. If a strip must mention an offer or end on a specific line, write the beats yourself and let the app draw them.
- Keep the dialogue short. Short lines are easier to read in a small feed image.
- Start with 2 or 3 panels. They are included on the free plan, and a short strip reads well on a phone.
- Check every strip before you post it. The comics are made with AI, so look over the wording and the drawing, and redraw if something is off.
Frequently asked questions
Is making a comic strip with my mascot free?
Up to 2 free comics to start, no card needed. Free accounts include a one-time starter grant that does not refill each month. Paid plans start at $12 per month; the Pricing page lists every plan.
Do I need to be able to draw?
No. Upload any picture of your mascot, or describe the character in words, and Mascotto Comics writes and draws the strip. You can give it an idea or just click Surprise Me.
Can I use a real photo or my logo character?
Yes. You can upload a photo, a drawing or a logo character as your mascot art. You choose whether it is kept as you uploaded it or redrawn in comic style.
Can I use the strips for my business?
Our FAQ explains that, subject to the Terms, you own the strips you generate and may use them for your business, including commercially. Outputs made with AI can contain mistakes, so review each strip before you publish it.
Will my comics be shown publicly?
Your uploads are not displayed publicly. Comics you create may be reviewed by our team for the public Community gallery or for our marketing, and you can ask us to stop by emailing support@mascotto.xyz. See the FAQ for details.

From a single panel up to a Sunday six-panel page. Which formats you can use depends on your plan, and the Studio shows what is open to you.
