How the manga translator works

Use the extension on the sites you read, or the web app for your own files.

Cleaned and lettered, not pasted on top

Many translators drop a box of text over the art. Torii erases the original lettering with AI inpainting, then sets the translation inside each bubble, sized to fit, so the page still looks like a page.

The only manga translator with a built-in editor

Fix a line, restyle a bubble or clean up a page without leaving your browser. This is the real editor from the extension and the web app, so try it right here. No sign-up needed.

Every text box, your way

Move, resize, rotate and restyle any bubble, or rewrite the translation itself.

Comic fonts, or your own

Pick from fonts made for lettering, or add your own font files.

Erase, paint and inpaint

Clean up leftover text and sound effects with a brush, an eraser or AI inpainting.

Manual OCR

Missed a bubble or got a line wrong? Brush over it and Torii reads and translates it again.

Warp text

Bend lettering into an arch, a wave, a bulge or a perspective so it sits on the art.

Colorize manga in one click

Torii's AI colorizer turns black-and-white pages into full colour, and you can translate them too.

Colorized by readers

Every page here was colorized with Torii and shared on the Discord. The 4-koma beside this was translated into Turkish, too.

Context sharing

Torii carries names, terms and the story so far from page to page, so a chapter reads as one.

Custom prompts

Keep the honorifics, set the tone or add a glossary, and save prompts for each series.

120+ languages

Japanese, Korean and Chinese into English are the favourites, but any pair works, and the source language is detected for you.

A manhwa translator built for long strips

Manhwa and webtoon chapters often come as one image, 800 pixels wide and tens of thousands tall. Torii translates the whole strip at once, at full resolution, so you never have to cut it into pages first.

Any length

Strips past 60,000 pixels tall translate just like a single page.

In seconds

The 21,747-pixel chapter in this demo took under 8 seconds, every bubble included.

Full resolution

Nothing is shrunk to fit, so small text in tall panels stays sharp.

Torii is made by one person, and it gets an update almost every week. I read every message on the Discord myself, so if a series you love doesn't translate well, tell me and I'll take a look.

Frequently asked questions

Is Torii free?

Installing Torii is free, and you get free credits when you sign up to try everything, with no card needed. After that, translations use credits that you buy as you go. There's no subscription to cancel. See pricing for the packs.

What's the difference between the extension and the web app?

The extension translates manga on the websites you read: click the torii gate on an image, or switch on auto-translate and pages translate as you scroll. The web app is for your own files: upload images, ZIPs or PDFs, bulk translate a whole chapter at once, clean or colorize it, and download the result. Both use the same account, credits and editor.

Can I batch translate a whole chapter?

Yes. In the web app, upload a chapter as images, a ZIP or a PDF and every page translates in one go, and you can clean or colorize them all at once too. It's the quickest way to batch translate manga, manhwa or comics from your own files. For chapters you read online, the extension's auto-translate does the same as you scroll.

Which websites does it work on?

Any website that shows manga or comics as images: reader sites, raw scans, webtoon platforms, forums and social media. Hover an image and click the torii gate in its corner. For files on your device, use the web app instead.

Which languages can Torii translate?

Japanese, Korean and Chinese into English are the most popular, but Torii reads and writes 120+ languages and detects the source language for you, including vertical Japanese text.

Can Torii translate long manhwa and webtoon strips?

Yes. Torii translates a whole strip as one image at full resolution, however tall it is, so chapters 20,000 or even 60,000 pixels long work without cutting them into pages first. It also handles wide spreads and small crops.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Install the add-on in Firefox on Android, or get Torii from the App Store for Safari on iPhone and iPad. The web app also works in any mobile browser.

How good are the translations?

Torii uses modern AI models like Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek and Grok, and context sharing keeps names and terms consistent across a chapter. It's machine translation, so it won't match a polished official release, but you can fix any line in the built-in editor.

How is Torii different from Google Lens?

Google Lens lays plain text over the image. Torii erases the original lettering, sets the translation inside each bubble in a comic font, keeps context from page to page and lets you edit the result.

Can Torii colorize manga?

Yes. The AI colorizer in the web app turns black-and-white manga pages into full colour, one page or a whole chapter at a time, and you can translate the colorized pages too.

Can I edit and download the results?

Yes. Every text box can be moved, restyled or rewritten, and the page cleaned up with the eraser, brush or AI inpainting. Then download single pages, or a whole chapter as a ZIP, PDF or layered PSD files.

Who makes Torii?

One developer, who updates it almost every week. Questions, bug reports and ideas go to the Discord, where every message gets read.
