OriginalTranslatedHow to translate manga online with the AI manga translator
- 01
Drop in a volume
A folder of pages, a CBZ or ZIP, a PDF, or the images themselves (PNG, JPEG, WebP). Pages are sorted by file name; for a long volume, choose Pages X to Y.
- 02
Check the price, then start
The price is shown before anything runs: from 1 credit a page, by the model you choose. A page that needs more is set aside and asked about, never charged unasked.
- 03
Read and export
Switch each page between Original and Translated, turn a line off or change its translation, then export the volume as CBZ, PDF or images. It stays in this browser until you remove it.
Why Serifu is the AI manga translator to use
A whole volume at once
Most tools take one image at a time. Serifu takes the chapter or the volume and translates it in reading order, page after page.
Lettered into the bubbles
Each line is set inside its bubble's own shape, in a comic face, exactly where the original text was. No boxes pasted over the art.
The whole page, read together
Serifu reads the whole page at once, together with the two pages before it, so speakers, names and numbers stay right across the volume. A tool that reads line by line loses them.
Fix a line, see it lettered
Click a line on the page, change the translation or turn it off, and the page is lettered again in your browser.
- No graphics card

Nothing to install
No graphics card, no models to download, no API keys. It runs in a browser tab, on any laptop.
AI manga translator pricing
A page costs 1 credit with gpt-6-luna, 1.5 with gemini-3.8-flash and 3 with claude-opus-5-5. 5 credits are free when you sign up. After that, credits come in packs. No subscription; credits never expire, and the same credits work in the Serifu app.
Manga OCR, cleaning and typesetting: the AI manga translator app
The browser reads a volume. The Serifu manga translator app for macOS and Windows is where you make the translation your own.
Retouch: text on the art, cleaned away
Sound effects, captions and signs drawn over the art are removed, the art behind them is filled back in, and the translation is set the way the original was drawn. Choose the blocks to retouch: 2 credits a block.
Box, read and translate
A line Serifu missed, a sign in the background, a sound effect: draw a box around it, and it is read, translated and lettered in place. The price is shown before it runs.
Manga OCR
Edit every line's lettering
Change the text, move and resize its text box, set it horizontal or vertical, adjust line spacing and letter spacing, the font, size, colour and outline. Every value Serifu sets is a control you can see.
Manga typesetting

AI manga translator FAQ
Is translating manga legal?
Serifu is an AI manga translator for reading the pages you have. It does not host, store or share manga. Publishing a translation of someone else's work needs the rights holder's permission.
What happens to my pages?
A page is sent to be read and translated and is not kept on serifu.net. The translated volume stays in this browser, on this device, until you remove it.
Which browsers work?
Serifu needs a current browser with WebGPU. If yours does not have it, the page says so before you start.
What if I close the tab halfway?
The pages done stay. Open the volume again and choose Resume; Serifu goes on with the pages before it as context. Pages not translated are not charged.
What if a page is refused?
Serifu runs a content check on every page before anything is charged. A page refused then costs nothing; a page refused after it was read keeps its credit, because reading it was already paid for.
Does Serifu translate adult content?
No. A page the content check refuses is skipped and costs nothing.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. You sign in before the translation starts, so the credits each volume uses are counted in your account, and your balance is the same wherever you sign in.
Which languages does it read and translate into?
Serifu reads Japanese, Korean, Chinese (simplified and traditional) and English, so manga, manhwa, manhua and comics all work. Japanese is read in its vertical columns as well as across. It translates into English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Indonesian.
Does it translate webtoons?
Yes. Choose Webtoon when you drop a chapter: Serifu joins its images, cuts the strip into pages at the gaps between panels, and letters every page; export it back as one long image or as the slices it came in. Manhwa that comes as pages is translated like any volume.
Does a person check the translation?
No. What you read is the output as it comes back; nobody at Serifu reads or edits your pages. If a line is not right, change it yourself.
