Examples

Before and after image translation

Japanese manga panel translated to English with speech bubbles preserved

Japanese manga panel before English translation

Japanese manga speech bubbles

Translate Japanese dialogue and captions while keeping the English result close to the original bubbles.

Vertical Japanese manga text

Clear vertical Japanese text works best when the scan is sharp, straight, and not covered by artwork.

Reading flow

Comic pages are about bubbles and sequence

The page structure prioritizes panels, captions, bubbles, and vertical flow because comic translation fails when dialogue is detached from the art.

Panel order

Keep translated text aligned with the visual reading sequence.

Bubble ownership

Review whether each translated bubble still points to the right speaker.

Long crops

Split very long webtoon or manhwa images into readable sections.

Use cases

Built for real image translation workflows

Japanese manga often mixes vertical text, compact bubbles, captions, and artwork. A plain text extraction can lose which line belongs to which bubble or panel.

Japanese manga panels

Translate raw Japanese manga panels before an English version is available.

Vertical Japanese text

Handle clear vertical text in bubbles, side notes, captions, and sound-effect-adjacent labels.

Speech bubbles and captions

Keep translated English near the original bubble or caption area where possible.

Panel reading flow

Preserve visual context so the page remains easier to follow than a text-only OCR result.

Upload Japanese manga

Start with a clear manga panel, cropped page, or readable scan.

Detect Japanese text

The tool detects Japanese text regions, including clear vertical text.

Translate with panel context

Detected text is translated to English while considering nearby bubbles and panel order.

Download translated manga

Preview and download an English manga image with layout preserved where possible.

Layout matters

Japanese manga is more than OCR

Japanese manga often mixes vertical text, compact bubbles, captions, and artwork. A plain text extraction can lose which line belongs to which bubble or panel.

This page is intentionally narrower than the general manga translator: it focuses on Japanese-to-English manga panels and keeping the reading flow understandable.

Best results and limits

Very low-resolution scans
Covered speech bubbles
Heavy decorative lettering
Dense full-page spreads
