Answers about Chrome, Edge and Firefox installation, free manga translation, CBZ and PDF files, supported sites, local translation, image privacy and cancellation.
What is NodeLane Comics?
A browser extension with a comic reader, web-image discovery and local import. Translation has classic and AI redraw modes, with originals always available. Reading happens in the extension; this website provides downloads, guides and account management.
How to translate manga in your browserDoes the manga translator work in Chrome, Edge and Firefox?
Yes, on desktop Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox. Chrome and Firefox have store installation links. The Edge store listing is under review; get the Edge ZIP package from the download page in the meantime.
Get the extensionHow do I install the manga translator extension or ZIP package?
Use the official Chrome or Firefox store links on the download page. For manual Chrome or Edge installation, download and extract the matching ZIP, enable Developer mode in the extensions manager and select Load unpacked. Firefox uses its store listing or the signed XPI. See the download page for instructions.
Get the extensionIs manga translation free, and what does PLUS include?
Reading local originals is free and needs no account. Official translation requires sign-in; Free includes 30 classic translation pages per day. PLUS removes the daily and monthly classic page cap, with rate and capacity limits still applying. AI redraw requires a valid allowance. Check current plans for prices, pages, trials and monthly or annual billing.
PricingShould I use classic manga translation or AI redraw?
Classic translation detects text, translates it and places it back with local background repair. AI redraw uses an image model and can change artwork details. Choose classic for everyday reading, compare results with the original, and try redraw when appropriate. Results from the two modes are kept separately.
Classic translation or AI redraw: which should you choose?Which files can I import?
CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR, PDF and supported DRM-free MOBI6/MOBI6+KF8 comics. Standalone KF8/AZW3, EPUB and encrypted books are not supported. Loose images cannot be imported. Website imports require a dedicated adapter.
Read CBZ, CBR, PDF and MOBI comics locallyDoes the extension upload website cookies or browsing history?
Source website cookies, login tokens and browsing history are not uploaded to the translation backend. Website and image permissions are requested when needed. Official translation sends selected images and required task data for processing; see the privacy guide for details.
What does a manga translation extension upload?Are images uploaded or retained?
Translation requires uploading selected page images to the backend and relevant providers. Originals and final images are retained privately by default. Deleting your record revokes access but does not guarantee physical deletion of shared objects. Source cookies, login tokens and browsing history are not uploaded.
Privacy policyDo failed translations use pages?
Pages may be reserved first and settled on successful delivery. Explicit failures release the reservation, as do classic results confirmed to have no text or partial recognition with original text retained. Unknown redraw results are verified first and may keep pages reserved temporarily.
Manga translation failed or still waiting?Does unlimited mean there are no restrictions?
PLUS classic has no daily/monthly total page cap. Image, capacity and short-term rate limits still apply: up to 100 new translation images per rolling 60 seconds across a PLUS account, or 10 for Free. This is not a completion-speed guarantee.
PricingHow do I cancel?
Use the website or extension account entry to manage the subscription. Cancel before the next renewal or trial expiry; uninstalling does not cancel. Existing benefits follow the expiry displayed in your account. For billing help, email [email protected].
Subscriptions & refundsDoes it work on every site and language?
Availability depends on site structure, permissions, image access and adapters. Language support can differ by translation mode; use the list in the extension. We do not guarantee every site, language or file.
How to translate manga in your browserCan I translate manga with a local service without a NodeLane account?
Yes. Connect your own manga-translator-ui service by adding and selecting a local translation channel in extension settings. This does not require a NodeLane account or official translation allowances. You must run the service yourself; network requirements, available modes and image handling depend on that service.
