1.3.0 · Easier translation, smoother reading

  • Translate automatically on chosen sites: Enable automatic translation for favorite sites or selected folders. Manage or pause it in settings.
  • Check for new chapters: Check from your shelf or chapter list without interrupting reading. Auto-checks are off by default and only check supported web comics you open.
  • Better PDF reading and export: Pages adapt to zoom, with steadier loading during fast scrolling and page turns. Original export keeps the source PDF.
  • More reliable account status: Fixes unwanted sign-outs caused by some service errors. Failed account benefit loads now show an error and let you retry.

1.2.0 · Browser translation

  • Browser translation (Beta): Download models and fonts; no server setup needed. Images stay on your device; recognized text goes to your chosen translation service.

1.1.0 · Reading made easier.

  • Turn pages your way: Choose page curl, slide or fade effects, or turn animations off.
  • Bookmark and return: Save your favorite moments, browse thumbnail previews and jump back to your bookmarks.
  • More sites, easy favorites: Explore newly supported comic sites and save your favorite sources for easy access.
  • Smoother reading: Improved image and translation loading, chapter transitions and zoom settings.

1.0.0 · Read in spreads. Translate your way.

  • Two-page reading — Read pages side by side, swipe or click to turn them, and save layout, direction and zoom preferences for each comic.
  • Every chapter, one export — Save chapters in order as CBZ, ZIP or PDF, using originals or existing translations in your current target language. Pages without a translation keep the original; exporting does not start new translations.
  • 22 new site entries — Including WeLoMa, RawKuro, Raw1001, Comic RIDE, Young Animal, LHTranslation and Lagoon Scans, with more Japanese originals and multilingual comics. See the supported-sites directory for the full list.
  • Preview your translation font — Browse and choose available fonts for your target language. On first use, the translation language follows your browser language and can be changed at any time.
  • Smoother reading — Load nearby pages and the next chapter ahead of time, and show originals while translations are being prepared. Settings and model selection are simpler, and changing the translation language keeps your reading position.

0.12.0 · Clearer pages. Easier discovery.

  • Image enhancement is here — Connect nunif / waifu2x to upscale and denoise originals or complete translations. Works in the reader, EPUB images and translated web images, without using translation quota. Enhancement is off by default and needs your own service.
  • Find the right comic site — Filter by comic type, pricing, raw-language content and access requirements to find a suitable source.
  • Website: images and whole files, together — One workspace for images, PDF and ZIP / CBZ, using your available quota after sign-in. Once a file finishes uploading, leave and return later to download translated images as a ZIP.
  • 7 new or upgraded comic sources — Support for six new sites, plus comic and chapter imports for Manga One. (COMIC FUZ, Zebrack, 再漫画, Manga One, Hachiraw, MangaTaro, WebtoonScan)
  • Smoother reading — Prepare enhanced images ahead of page turns and keep reading existing translations while enhancement runs. Results appear in place without moving your reading position; processed images are reused and failures can be retried separately.
