What a Manga Translator Can Do for Image Text

Read Manga Text with an AI Manga Translator

Upload a manga page and identify the text that appears inside speech bubbles, captions, signs, and panels. Keeping the text tied to the original image helps you review each line where it appears. For text you want to copy or reuse outside the artwork, you can also use Pictext's image to text feature.

How to Translate a Manga Image in 3 Steps

Step 01

Upload a Manga Image

Choose a manga page, panel, or comic image from your device and bring it into Pictext's browser-based workspace. For screenshots or cropped references, Pictext's screenshot editor can be a useful companion feature.

Step 02

Select a Target Language

Choose the target language for the translation task, then let Pictext work with the text embedded in the image rather than requiring a separate transcription step first.

Step 03

Review the Translated Image Text

Check the result in its original visual context and continue editing the wording when a line needs a more natural or audience-specific version.
