Sumi — AI Manga Translator

An AI manga translator that detects lettering, translates it, removes the original text, and re-typesets the result inside the artwork.

Introduction

Sumi translates manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoons, comics, and doujinshi directly inside the artwork. It detects text, reads the source language, erases the original lettering, and places the translated text back with vertical Japanese, Chinese, and Korean typesetting.

The service is available on the web, as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari extensions, and through iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps with offline support. Users can translate individual images or chapters in PDF, ZIP, CBZ, and EPUB formats, add glossaries, and use Auto mode while reading supported websites.

How to Use Sumi — AI Manga Translator

  1. Open Sumi online, install a browser extension, or use the mobile app.
  2. Upload an image, PDF, ZIP, CBZ, or EPUB, or open a chapter on a supported website.
  3. Select the source and target languages and add a glossary when terminology needs control.
  4. Translate the page; Sumi removes the original lettering and re-typesets the translation.
  5. Review or edit the result, and use Auto mode or batch translation for continued reading.
