Answers about credits, one-time packs, unlimited plans, supported languages, login, privacy and fixing Scan Translator on manga websites.
Each translation relies on paid third-party services and infrastructure costs, so paid credits help keep the service online and fast.
The Unlimited plan is built for regular readers: you get 20,000 fast translations every month, then you can keep translating without buying more credits. After the fast allowance, translations move to standard speed and may be slower during busy periods. Fair use keeps the service stable and affordable so a few heavy or automated users cannot slow it down for everyone. If you want fast speed after the monthly allowance, you can use paid credits. Bulk upload is included, but bulk jobs always stay on a lower-priority lane and may be delayed during heavy load.
In Scan Translator, 1 credit translates 1 image. 30 free credits are granted once per new account, and paid credits are added to your account balance for future use.
No. Purchased credits do not expire and stay available on your account until they are used.
Yes. Credits are linked to your Scan Translator account, not to one device, so you can use them anywhere you are signed in.
Sign-in is required to secure your account, track your credit balance, sync your usage across devices, and reduce abuse of free resources.
Disposable emails are blocked to limit spam and repeated abuse of free credits. Please use a real email address to access magic-link sign-in.
If the same image was already translated to the same target language (by you or another user), no new credit is charged. If you translate that image to a different target language, 1 new credit is charged.
Some sites block or obfuscate image access, which can prevent translation in-browser. If this happens, refresh the page, re-enable the extension, use Screenshot to translate the visible area, or upload the image directly in the Manga Translator page.
Scan Translator relies on AI text recognition, translation, and text rendering, so results are not always perfect. Some text may be missed, merged, untranslated, or limited by model safety policies (especially for explicit or sensitive content). In some cases, inserted text can overflow bubbles or look misaligned. You can use Screenshot to translate only the text areas that were not detected.
Scan Translator supports 80+ target languages for manga, scans, and images.
You can buy additional credit packs from the pricing page at any time and continue translating immediately after checkout.
