Manga Translation Features
Built for Manga Pages
Our manga image translator understands the unique challenges of translating Japanese manga, from speech bubbles to vertical text and sound effects.

The AI reads each speech bubble in context and regenerates it with the translated text, even when the lettering is curved or stylized. Compare each bubble with the original panel.
Vertical Japanese Text Support
Manga pages with vertical Japanese text, read right to left and top to bottom, can be translated. Check the reading order and line breaks in the result.
Onomatopoeia Handling
Japanese sound effects (onomatopoeia) like ドキドキ, バーン, and ガチャン are rewritten with the rest of the page. Depending on the lettering they may be translated or left as drawn; check that they keep their visual impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything About Manga Translation
Common questions about translating manga images online
How do I translate a manga page from Japanese to English?
Upload the page as a JPG, PNG or WebP image (up to 10 MB), keep auto-detect or choose Japanese as the source language, choose English as the target and start the translation. You get the page back with the speech bubbles, captions and sound effects in English. Compare it with the original, then download it.
What is the best manga translator to translate manga pages online?
It depends on where the pages are. A browser extension such as Torii Translate translates manga images in place on the websites you read. TranslateMyImage translates the page files you upload and returns each page as a new image with the speech bubbles, captions and sound effects in the target language, ready to download. Each page uses one credit, and the free plan includes a few pages a month.
How accurate is the manga image translator for Japanese text?
Recognition quality depends on scan resolution, lettering style and panel density: clean, high-resolution pages give the best results. Review names, dialogue and sound effects against the original before sharing the result.
Can I translate vertical Japanese text in manga?
The image translation workflow can process manga images with vertical Japanese text. Recognition and layout can vary, so review the translated panel against the original.
Does the translator handle manga onomatopoeia and sound effects?
Sound effects such as ドキドキ or バーン may be recognized or translated differently depending on the image. Check onomatopoeia and its context against the original panel.
Can I translate any manga page?
It depends on who holds the rights and on your country. Translating pages you own — your own comic, or a title you publish — raises no issue. For other works, keep the translation private and never redistribute or sell it without permission from the rights holder.
Can I translate doujinshi?
Yes. A doujinshi page goes through the same workflow as a manga page: upload one page image at a time, then review the speech bubbles and sound effects. Many doujinshi are fan works based on someone else’s characters, so the rights advice above applies: translate your own circle’s work or pages you have permission for, and keep any other translation for your own reading.
What file formats are supported for manga translation?
The current uploader accepts one image file per translation, up to 10 MB. Supported encoding can depend on the file and processing path.
