About MangaOCR - AI Manga Translator

What is MangaOCR?

MangaOCR is an online service that combines manga OCR with AI translation and inpainting to translate manga in one click. Upload your own images, and we handle everything: text detection (manga OCR), translation, inpainting (removing original text), and rendering (placing translated text back into the image). Both originals and translation results are never stored or redistributed — they are automatically deleted 48 hours after translation.

Core Capabilities

  • Accurate Manga OCR — Detects text in speech bubbles, sound effects, and labels, even in complex layouts.
  • Smart Translation — AI-powered translation that understands context and manga-specific expressions.
  • Seamless Inpainting — Removes original text and restores the background, preserving artwork quality.
  • Precise Rendering — Places translated text back into the original bubbles with proper sizing and alignment.

Supported Languages

Source language: auto-detected. Target languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French. We automatically detect the source language and reading direction (left-to-right or right-to-left). More languages coming soon.

Why We Built This

Translating manga manually is slow and tedious — you need to identify text, type translations, erase originals, and place new text pixel by pixel. MangaOCR automates the entire pipeline so you can focus on reading, not editing. The Service is designed for translating content you own or are authorized to translate — we do not store, copy, or redistribute your original files.
