About Image Loom

Image Loom is a Windows application for building comics from reusable characters and connected scenes. It provides a local-first workspace where users can define character descriptions and references, then assign them to scenes for iterative storytelling. The tool supports two generation paths: an OpenAI API route using user-provided keys and models, and a local route using Ollama for text and ComfyUI with Z-Image workflow for still images. Projects are saved as local files with encrypted credentials, allowing users to reopen workflows, revise captions, and export finished comics as PDFs. Generated media remains separate from project data, requiring users to back up files manually. The app does not store creative projects or API keys on its servers and verifies access via a random installation identifier.
