Frequently Asked Questions

Does the manga translator support vertical text?

Yes. Our OCR is specifically built to recognize vertical Japanese text and speech bubbles. We extract the text and use in-painting technology to erase the original and fill it with your translation.

What is in-painting in manga translation?

In-painting erases the original Japanese characters from the artwork and fills the background seamlessly before placing the translated text, keeping the manga art clean and professional.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP. For the best results with vertical text and in-painting, we recommend using high-resolution scans.
