How to Generate a 4-Panel Comic from a Webpage
You can generate a 4-panel comic from any webpage based on the page's semantic content to express key points or tell a story. Here is the simplest getting-started approach:
- Step 1: Install the BlackEagle plugin (complete installation on first use) See installation guide
- Step 2: In the plugin's Settings / Model Configuration, set up the image generation model (e.g., an OpenAI SDK-compatible image model).
- Step 3: Open any webpage—the plugin will automatically "read the page" and show "page ready" in the bottom-right.
- Step 4: Tell BlackEagleAI in the chat: "Generate a 4-panel comic based on the current page." After generation, a save dialog appears; choose a location and the image will open in a new tab.
Tip: Add style instructions (e.g., hand-drawn, clean lines) or constrain characters and scenes to better fit your needs.
3 Tips to Make Your Comic Look Better
- Describe requirements as "character + emotion + scene + shot"—e.g., two colleagues, relaxed, office discussing a new feature; 4 panels, one short line per panel.
- Specify 4-panel layout and aspect ratio (1:1 or 4:3). Keep dialogue short to avoid crowded panels.
- Generate a draft first, then add style (hand-drawn, watercolor, cyberpunk) or lighting details—iterating in two steps is more stable than packing all instructions at once.
Example Prompt
"Based on the current page content, generate a 4-panel comic. Keep the same character, 1:1 framing, clean line art, light humorous tone, one short line per panel, theme centered on the page's core idea."
Troubleshooting
- No "page ready" indicator? Click "Read Page" in the extension or refresh the page and try again.
- No save dialog after generation? Ensure the browser allows download popups/new tabs and that the extension has download permission.
- Image doesn't match the page or quality is low? Check the image model configuration, try a higher-quality model, and reduce unrelated instructions.
