Comics Speak Every Language. Now You Can Too.
Comics are a global medium. French bandes dessinees, Italian fumetti, Argentine historietas, Korean manhwa, Japanese manga. Every culture produces incredible illustrated stories, and most of them never get translated into your language. Our comic image translator changes that. Upload a comic page in any language and get a readable translation in seconds.
Unlike translators built exclusively for manga or manhwa, this tool handles every comic format. Western left-to-right layouts, Asian right-to-left reading, European album formats, newspaper strips, webcomics, and graphic novels all work. The system detects the layout automatically and processes text in the correct reading order.
Speech Bubbles, Captions, Narration Boxes, and SFX
Comics pack text into many different containers. Round speech bubbles for dialogue. Rectangular boxes for narration. Cloud-shaped thought bubbles. Jagged explosion bubbles for shouting. Free-floating SFX for ambient sounds. Each type needs to be identified and translated with the right tone.
The comic image translation engine distinguishes between these text types. Dialogue gets translated conversationally. Narration maintains its literary quality. SFX are transliterated or translated depending on context. The output preserves the visual storytelling that makes comics work as a medium, not just the literal words.
Graphic Novels and Long-Form Stories
Graphic novels can run hundreds of pages. Translating them page-by-page with a basic tool would take forever and produce inconsistent results. Our translator processes entire chapters or volumes as batches, maintaining character voice consistency and terminology throughout. A character who speaks formally in chapter one still speaks formally in chapter twenty.
This matters most for complex narratives with large casts, invented vocabulary, or technical subject matter. Science fiction graphic novels with specialized terminology, fantasy comics with made-up languages, and historical stories with period-appropriate speech all benefit from the context-aware translation engine.
22+ Languages, 0.1 Credits Per Page
Translate comics between any combination of 22+ supported languages. English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and many more. Each page costs just 0.1 credits, making it practical to translate entire series rather than just a few sample pages.
Independent comic creators also use the tool to make their work accessible to international audiences. If you've drawn a comic in English and want to reach readers in Japan, Korea, or France, the translator can produce localized versions of your pages quickly and affordably.
Upload your first comic page now to see the quality for yourself. For ongoing series and large collections, our subscription plans offer the best per-credit value.

Common Questions About comic image translation
What you need to know before you Translate comic images:
What types of images can Comic Image Translator translate?
Manga pages, manhwa panels, manhua spreads, webtoon screenshots, scanned doujinshi, comic strips, and any image with readable text. It works with photos, screenshots, and digital files. If you can read the text in the image, Comic Image Translator can translate it.
How does Comic Image Translator handle SFX and sound effects?
The AI detects stylized text like onomatopoeia (crash, boom, swoosh) and sound effects layered over artwork. These get translated alongside dialogue and narration. Complex hand-drawn SFX in very stylized fonts may occasionally need manual review, but standard printed text translates cleanly.
Is my data private when I use Comic Image Translator?
Yes. All image processing happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. Once you close the tab, the data is gone. This is browser-local processing by design, not an afterthought.
How much does it cost to Translate comic images?
Each image costs 0.1 credits. A typical manga chapter of 20 pages costs 2 credits. A full volume of 180 pages costs about 18 credits. Compare that to waiting months for a fan translation or paying full price for an official release that may never come.
