Reading manga online? Our Chrome extension translates pages directly while you read. Need to translate downloaded files? Our web tool handles that. With AI Manga Translator, you get both — a browser extension for online reading and a web tool for local files.
Our Chrome Extension: Translate Manga While You Read
The AI Manga Translator Chrome extension brings our full AI translation pipeline directly into your browser. No more downloading images, uploading them to a tool, and downloading results — just click and read.
In-Page Translation
The extension replaces manga images on the page with translated versions. Original Japanese, Korean, or Chinese text is detected, removed, and replaced with clean translated text — all without leaving the manga site you're reading on.
One-Click Batch Translation
Hit "Translate All" to batch translate every manga image on the page at once. The extension tracks which images have already been translated and skips duplicates, so you never waste credits on the same panel twice.
30+ Pre-Configured Manga Sites
Popular manga sites are supported out of the box:
- Raw Manga: Rawkuma, KLManga, MangaRaw, Weloma, Manga1000, RawManga
- Multi-language: MangaDex, MangaKakalot, MangaNato, MangaFire, MangaReader, Bato.to, Comick
- Manhwa & Manhua: Webtoons, Toonily, Tapas, ManhuaPlus, ManhuaGui, CopyManga
- Art & Doujin: Pixiv, Hitomi.la, nHentai, E-Hentai
- Plus any site you enable manually — see the full list

Install Chrome Extension →Our Web Tool: Translate Downloaded Manga Files
The extension is perfect for online reading, but what about manga you've downloaded? Our web tool handles any file format:
- Any image format — JPG, PNG, WebP
- Multi-page formats — PDF, EPUB, CBZ archives
- Full AI pipeline — a specialized text detector finds text, a manga-tuned OCR reads it, Claude AI translates it, an inpainting model removes original text and reconstructs the background, then translated text is cleanly typeset
- Download clean results — pages look like professional scanlations, not cluttered overlays
Great for offline manga collections, scanned doujinshi, or any manga files you have on your device.
How Other Extensions Compare
There are other browser tools for manga translation. Here's how they differ from AI Manga Translator:
Yomitan (formerly Yomichan)
A dictionary lookup extension for Japanese learners. Hover over text on web pages for instant definitions. It's excellent for language study but doesn't translate text inside manga images — it only works with HTML text, not image-embedded text.
Immersive Translate
A popular general-purpose translation extension that translates web page text in many languages. Works well for translating site UI and article text, but cannot perform OCR on manga images. Useful alongside a manga translator, not as a replacement.
manga-image-translator (Userscript)
An open-source project by zyddnys that handles OCR and translation of manga images via a Tampermonkey userscript. It can process image-embedded text, but requires technical setup (userscript manager, server configuration) and translation quality varies.
