OpenToon

OpenToon is a mobile app for iOS and Android that translates manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoons and other comics into more than 50 languages. It targets readers who follow series with no official release in their language and are tired of waiting for fan or publisher translations. The same team is behind OpenNovel, a novel translator, and says it applies the same language-model approach to comic pages. Using it is straightforward. A reader pastes a chapter URL into the app or uploads images, picks a target language, and lets the app scan and save the chapter to a personal library. Speech bubbles are then translated in place, and the finished chapter is stored on the device so it can be reopened instantly. Any bubble can be tapped to flip back to the original characters, and individual bubbles can be edited by hand when a reading seems off. A built-in importer handles a range of raw sources, including Naver Comic, Kakao Webtoon, Ridibooks, Kuaikan Manhua, Pixiv and Webtoons, and links from most other comic sites can also be pasted. Source languages cover Korean, Chinese, Japanese and English, and target languages include Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and both Chinese scripts, among many others. New users get a free trial, after which translation runs on coin packs or a subscription, with the exact packages listed on a separate pricing page. OpenToon fits between general-purpose OCR and translation tools, which often struggle with stylized lettering and bubble layout, and desktop scrapers or browser extensions that need a computer. Its focus is the phone, and its pitch is a single workflow from link to readable page. The company states that it does not host or redistribute comics and that no images are stored on its servers, so it acts as a translation layer over material the reader can already access. The site also publishes guides on manhwa apps and raw sources for readers choosing where to start.
