FAQ

Questions about local image generation

See the download page and documentation for more guidance.

What can I create with DreamTale?
Create novel artwork such as covers, character references and scene images, make quote cards, and illustrate serialized stories. Work from world building to finished images and export in one workspace.
Can I use it without drawing skills?
Yes. Write a description in Chinese, choose a style and character, and use the world-building and storyboard workflow to develop a sequence of images.
Can I control image generation from my phone?
Yes. Open the remote page in a phone browser to send prompts, view progress and receive images. QQ chat controls are supported; additional app integrations are in development.
What computer do I need?
Use Windows 10/11 with a discrete graphics card. Lightweight models can run with about 8 GB VRAM; 16 GB supports larger models. Requirements depend on the selected model and settings. The installer includes the runtime.
How do I install it?
Use the installer from the Download page. It includes the runtime, so no separate Python environment is needed. Prepare the model files separately.
