Question 1

What is MangaFluent?

Accepted Answer

MangaFluent is an online manga and manhwa translator. Upload a raw chapter and the AI detects every speech balloon, erases the original text, translates it, and typesets the translation back onto the page — ready to read in your browser or export as a CBZ for readers like Mihon.

Question 2

Which languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

Source language (Japanese or Korean) is auto-detected from the first page — you never have to pick it. Translations are available in English and Simplified Chinese.

Question 3

What is the difference between Fast and Quality mode?

Accepted Answer

Fast mode sends only the recognized text to the AI, so a page finishes in about 10 seconds at 1 credit. Quality mode lets a vision model look at the artwork to verify the text, understand who is speaking and catch nuance — about 40 seconds and 2 credits per page, with visibly better results. Both modes use the same chapter glossary, so character names stay consistent either way.

Question 4

What files can I upload?

Accepted Answer

Multiple images (JPG, PNG, WebP), a PDF, or a single ZIP/CBZ archive — up to 300 pages and 100 MB per chapter, with each page up to 20 MB and about 25 megapixels. Very tall webtoon strips should be split into segments before uploading. PDF pages are rasterized in your browser; the PDF file itself is never uploaded.

Question 5

Are my uploads private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pages are stored only to run your translation and are deleted automatically within 24 hours. Jobs are tied to an anonymous browser session (or your account, if you're signed in), so only you can see them.

Question 6

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

No account needed: you start with 5 free credits — the same currency paying users have, so that's about 5 Fast pages or 2 Quality pages with the full engine. When you sign in with Google you get 30 bonus credits (enough for a full Fast-mode chapter), and paid plans start at $4.99 for 1,250 credits that never expire.

Question 7

Can I read a chapter locally without translating it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After you drop files in, the preview grid doubles as a local reader — click any page to read the whole chapter fullscreen. Nothing is uploaded until you press Translate.
