Practical take
Where Manga Translator actually helps
This tool works on images, not pasted text. It reads the lettering on the workflow, translates it and redraws the new lines inside the original bubbles, so the artwork, panel order and screentones stay as they were.
Results are best on clean scans with every bubble fully in frame. Tiny side notes, hand-drawn sound effects and heavily compressed screenshots are where mistakes usually appear, so read the workflow before you share it. Pages are rendered at 2K so the new lettering stays legible.
Use it when
- Reading a raw chapter page in your own language.
- Making a first translation draft before manual lettering.
- Checking what a sign, caption or side note in one panel says.
Be careful when
- Translating a PDF directly. Export each page as an image first.
- A whole volume in one go. The tool handles one page at a time.
- Publishing without a read-through. Names, honorifics and jokes still need a human check.
Workflow
Practical Manga Translator workflow
One page in, one translated page out. Each translation uses 1 credit.
Upload the workflow
Use a JPG, PNG or WEBP file up to 10 MB. Uncropped pages with visible bubble edges give the best results.
Pick the languages
Leave the source on auto-detect or set it to Japanese, Korean or Chinese, then choose the language you want to read.
Translate
The model rewrites each bubble, caption and readable sound effect in the target language and returns the workflow at 2K.
Check and download
Compare it with the original, look closely at names and small text, then download it or retry with a sharper scan.

How to judge Manga Translator output
A good result reads like an officially localized page. Check these before you keep it.
Every bubble is translated
Look for bubbles or side notes that were skipped, especially small text near the panel edges.
Text fits its bubble
New lines should sit inside the bubble without covering faces, hands or action.
Names stay consistent
A character's name and suffixes such as -san or -senpai should read the same in every bubble.
The art is untouched
Line art, screentones and panel borders outside the lettering should match the original.

Useful Manga Translator scenarios
Reading raw chapters
Get the gist of a page that has not been officially translated into your language yet.

Common Manga Translator mistakes
Uploading tiny screenshots
Low-resolution pages make small and vertical text hard to read, which leads to skipped or wrong lines.
Uploading a PDF
The tool accepts JPG, PNG and WEBP images only. Export or screenshot each PDF page first.
Skipping the read-through
Machine translation can miss jokes, wordplay and who is speaking. Read the workflow before you share it.
Where to go next
Translating an American comic, a webtoon or a European album instead? Comic Translator uses the same engine with wording for left-to-right pages.
Questions creators ask
What does the manga translator do?
It takes a manga page or panel image, translates the text in its speech bubbles, captions and sound effects, and returns the same page with the translated lettering drawn in.
Which languages does it support?
16 languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian. Leave the source on auto-detect if you are not sure.
How much does it cost?
Each translated page uses 1 credit. New accounts get 1 free credit, so you can try a page before buying more on the pricing page.
Can it handle vertical Japanese text and sound effects?
It reads vertical text in normal bubbles well. Hand-drawn sound effects and very small notes are less reliable, so check those areas in the result.
Can I translate a manga PDF?
Not directly. Export or screenshot each PDF page as an image, then upload the pages one at a time.
Is there a mobile app?
There is nothing to install. The translator runs in the browser on desktop and mobile.
How is it different from Comic Translator?
Both use the same translation engine. this workflow is set up for Japanese manga. Comic Translator is the better starting point for American comics, webtoons and European albums.
Can I publish the translated page?
Only translate pages you have the right to use. Treat the result as a draft and review names, tone and line breaks before sharing it publicly.
Does ComicsAI support NSFW content?
No. ComicsAI does not support NSFW content. We use our own safety policies and safety review models to review content and block the generation of pornography, sexually explicit content, violence, gore, and other prohibited content. These rules apply to all tools and to both free and paid plans.
