Webtoons Are Built Different. Your Translator Should Be Too.
Webtoons aren't manga. They're tall, vertical-scroll images designed for phone screens. Each episode can stretch thousands of pixels long, with dialogue bubbles spaced for scrolling rhythm rather than page turns. Generic image translators choke on these dimensions. They crop panels, miss text near the edges, or produce translations that break the careful pacing the artist intended.
Our webtoon translator was designed around the vertical scroll format from day one. It processes long-strip images without cropping, maintains the spacing between panels, and keeps dialogue in its original position within each bubble. The translated episode scrolls exactly like the original.
Why Webtoon Translation Needs Special Handling
Korean webtoons use hangul text that's compact and information-dense. A single Korean speech bubble might expand to twice its size in English. The translator accounts for this, adjusting text placement so nothing overflows or gets cut off. Color is another factor. Unlike black-and-white manga, webtoons are fully colored, which means the text recognition needs to work across varied backgrounds, gradients, and artistic effects.
Episode structure matters too. Webtoons tell stories in weekly episodes, each one a self-contained scroll that builds on the last. Our system processes each episode as a complete unit, maintaining context from the first panel to the cliffhanger at the bottom. Sound effects woven into colorful action scenes get picked up alongside regular dialogue.
Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Webtoons Supported
The webtoon format started in Korea but has spread everywhere. Japanese vertical comics, Chinese vertical manhua, and original English-language vertical strips all use the same long-scroll approach. The webtoon translator supports all of these, with OCR tuned for hangul, kanji, kana, and Chinese characters. Translations are available in 22+ languages.
Each image costs just 0.1 credits to translate. A typical webtoon episode runs 40-80 panels, but since they're uploaded as continuous strips rather than individual pages, the actual credit cost stays reasonable. Check our pricing page for subscription options that bring the per-credit cost down even further.
Stop Waiting for Weekly Translations
The most frustrating part of following a foreign webtoon is the wait. New episodes drop on the original platform, but English translations lag by days, weeks, or sometimes never arrive at all. With our webtoon translator, you can read new episodes the moment they're available. Upload the raw Korean episode and get your English translation back in seconds.
This works especially well for series that haven't been picked up by official translation teams. Thousands of excellent Korean webtoons never get English versions. Now you can access all of them. Try it with your first episode and see the difference a purpose-built webtoon translator makes.

Common Questions About webtoon translation
What you need to know before you Translate webtoons:
What types of images can Webtoon 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, Webtoon Translator can translate it.
How does Webtoon 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 Webtoon 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 webtoons?
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.
