Manga Image Translator

Translate manga panels, pages, webtoon screenshots, and speech bubbles. PicText works as an AI manga translator that detects text across the uploaded image with OCR, translates dialogue, and renders readable text back into the image. Use it to translate manga to English without copying every bubble.

Choose Full image for all detected text, or Speech bubbles only to focus on dialogue. For one custom area, crop that area first and upload the crop.

How It Works

Translate manga in 3 steps

Built for readers, editors, and creators who need manga translate online results without separate OCR.

1

Upload manga image

Add a manga panel, page scan, manhwa crop, or webtoon screenshot. The manga image translator finds speech bubbles and readable text regions across the uploaded image.

2

Choose target language

Select English or another language. Use it as a Japanese manga translator, Korean manhwa translator, or comic translator for mixed images.

3

Download translated manga

The AI translate manga workflow can replace all detected text regions or focus on speech bubbles. Download the result and continue with the next page.

Manga translation examples

Use the AI manga translator for fast reading, review, and draft localization. These examples show before and after translation results, not a manual region selection tool.

Manga panel translator for speech bubbles

A manga panel translator needs to understand where dialogue sits. PicText detects bubble text across a panel, translates manga image content, and places readable English back into the same areas.

AI webtoon translator and manhwa workflow

Vertical comics need a translator that follows stacked panels. Use PicText as an ai webtoon translator or manhwa translator to understand long images or create drafts.

Use Cases

Where a manga translator helps

Use it for quick understanding and draft editing before any final human review.

Translate manga to English

Turn Japanese, Korean, or Chinese dialogue into English without typing every bubble.

Study and reading notes

Use a free manga translator to understand vocabulary, context, and repeated phrases.

Comic and webtoon previews

Create translated previews for comic translate, webtoon review, and manhwa reading workflows.

Localization drafts

Prepare a first pass for editors, then refine tone, spacing, and lettering manually.

Why use PicText as a manga translator?

A normal translator does not understand images. PicText combines manga translator OCR, translation, and rendering in one tool.

AI OCR for speech bubbles

Detects printed text in bubbles, captions, notes, and vertical layouts across the full uploaded image before translation starts.

Layout aware rendering

Places translated text back into the image so the panel remains readable.

Manga translator free workflow

Use a manga translator online with no extension required. New users can try it with free credits.

Works beyond manga

Use the same AI for comic translator tasks, manhwa drafts, captions, or signs.

Mobile friendly

Upload a panel from your phone, choose a target language, and download the translated manga image.

Editable workflow

Pair translated results with PicText editing tools for cleanup, lettering changes, or a cleaner final image.

Batch Translation

What about batch manga translation?

Large chapters need batch translation, page ordering, and review controls. V1 is single image: upload one page or panel, translate it, download it, then continue. Batch manga translation is the right direction, but this page does not claim a full queue yet.

Best V1 workflow

Translate pages one by one and keep filenames in reading order before sharing or editing.

Future batch need

A complete batch tool should support multiple uploads, per page status, retries, and review.

Quality first

Single image translation makes OCR misses and spacing issues easier to catch.
