Translate manhwa and vertical webtoon images
Manhwa and webtoons are usually read vertically, often on mobile, with text embedded directly in the artwork. Scan Translator helps when ordinary page translation cannot select that text.
Upload a saved page, screenshot, crop, folder or ZIP file, then download translated images you can read in your target language.
Full-page manhwa previews
Scroll original and translated manhwa pages together
Long webtoon pages are hard to judge from cropped screenshots. These full-page previews let you compare the original page and the translated result side by side, with both panes scrolling at the same time.

Scroll the original and translated page together to judge text detection, redraw and readability on a real long webtoon page.

ScrollAfter
Drag the slim pink handle between the pages, or scroll either image. The original and translated images stay aligned so you can check how text detection, inpainting, redraw and readability behave across the full vertical page.

- 2
Detect embedded text in bubbles and captions

- 3
Read the translated webtoon page
Open or download the translated result after text recognition, translation and image rendering finish.
Webtoon pages
Built for vertical webtoon pages
Webtoons are often taller than traditional manga pages. The workflow is designed around screenshots, crops and vertical pages where readability matters after translation.
Screenshots from mobile reading
Upload a screenshot or crop when you only need to understand one part of a vertical episode.
Text inside artwork
Use text recognition and image translation when dialogue is embedded in the image and cannot be selected.
