Why Manga Translator
Bubble-aware lettering
Translations are typeset to fit inside each speech bubble, at readable sizes.
Vertical columns
Vertical Japanese text becomes proper vertical typesetting — Latin text gets classic stacked comic lettering.
SFX handled separately
Sound effects are detected apart from dialogue, so explosive artwork survives translation.
Symbols stay
！？ and effect marks are recognized and kept as-is instead of being mistranslated.
Questions, answered
How long does a translation take?+
Most images finish in under a minute. Dense manga pages can take 1–3 minutes on the free tier — we're shipping speedups continuously.
Is it free to try?+
Yes — try it right on the homepage, no signup needed. Free accounts get a daily page quota when billing launches.
What about vertical text and sound effects?+
Vertical columns are re-lettered top-to-bottom, and Latin translations in narrow columns use classic stacked comic lettering. SFX are detected and handled separately from speech bubbles.
Are my images stored?+
Images are processed in memory to produce your result and are not persisted. We'll publish a full privacy policy before launch.
Can I use translated images commercially?+
