Try free: 5 credits, no account needed

Read any manga or manhwa, in your language

Upload a raw chapter — AI auto-detects Japanese or Korean, erases the original text and redraws every page in English or Chinese.

How it works

From raw chapter to readable in three steps

  1. STEP 1

    Drop a chapter

    Images, PDF, ZIP or CBZ — up to 300 pages. PDF pages are rasterized right in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.

  2. STEP 2

    AI translates the page

    Japanese or Korean is auto-detected. Every balloon is located, the original text erased, translated and typeset back in place.

  3. STEP 3

    Read or take it with you

    Read the translated pages in your browser as they finish, or download a CBZ that opens directly in Mihon or any comic reader.

Vision AI

Every page, read and proofread

The AI looks at the artwork before it translates — OCR misreads get fixed against the art, and the chapter glossary keeps names consistent.

Vision AI translation

Vision AI reads every page

≈3 s/page + 30 s start

The model sees the full page: it fixes OCR misreads, uses who-is-speaking and scene context, and catches sound-effect nuance. 1 credit per page.

  • Sees the artwork to verify every line
  • Speaker, tone and SFX nuance
  • Chapter glossary keeps names consistent
  • 1 credit per page
Pricing

Pay once, read everything

1 credit = 1 page

Credits never expire

A typical 20-page chapter costs about 20 credits. All packs are one-time purchases — no auto-renewal (see Terms).

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is MangaFluent?+

MangaFluent is an online manga and manhwa translator. Upload a raw chapter and the AI detects every speech balloon, erases the original text, translates it, and typesets the translation back onto the page — ready to read in your browser or export as a CBZ for readers like Mihon.

Which languages are supported?+

Source language (Japanese or Korean) is auto-detected from the first page — you never have to pick it. Translations are available in English and Simplified Chinese.

How does the translation work?+

A vision AI model reads the full page: it verifies the recognized text against the artwork, understands who is speaking, and catches sound-effect nuance. The first page takes about a minute (the translation worker has to start up), then pages land in seconds. A chapter glossary keeps character names consistent throughout.

What files can I upload?+

Multiple images (JPG, PNG, WebP), a PDF, or a single ZIP/CBZ archive — up to 300 pages and 50 MB per chapter, with each page up to 20 MB and about 25 megapixels. Very tall webtoon strips should be split into segments before uploading. PDF pages are rasterized in your browser; the PDF file itself is never uploaded.

Are my uploads private?+

Yes. Pages are stored only to run your translation and are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Jobs are tied to an anonymous browser session (or your account, if you're signed in), so only you can see them.

How does the free trial work?+

No account needed: you start with 5 free credits — the same currency paying users have, so that's about 5 pages with the full engine. When you sign in with Google you get 30 bonus credits (enough for a typical 20-page chapter), and paid plans start at $4.99 for 1,000 credits that never expire.

Can I read a chapter locally without translating it?+

Yes. After you drop files in, the preview grid doubles as a local reader — click any page to read the whole chapter fullscreen. Nothing is uploaded until you press Translate.
