Webtoon translation
Webtoons into English, one long strip at a time.
Panelift is an AI webtoon translator: upload a vertical strip in Korean, Chinese or Japanese and get it back in English, the original lettering erased, the art painted back and the English lettered into each bubble. A strip is cut where the panels already break, translated with the whole chapter in view, and stitched back into one strip.
What Panelift does with it
Cut at the gutters, stitched back
A tall strip is split at the empty bands between panels (overlapping only where there is no gutter), translated part by part, and put back together. Pixels outside the lettering are copied straight from your upload.
The whole episode in view
Panelift reads every bubble of the chapter before translating any of them, so a joke set up at the top of the strip still lands at the bottom.
Colour art, painted back
Lettering over colour gradients and effects is erased and the art painted back underneath, then the English is lettered into the same bubble.
A series memory
Names, genders, forms of address and terms are kept per series, so episode 50 uses the same English as episode 1.

Questions
Can Panelift translate long webtoon strips?
Yes. A strip much taller than it is wide is cut at the gutters between panels, translated, and stitched back into one strip.
Which languages can a webtoon be in?
Korean, Chinese or Japanese, translated into English. More target languages are planned.
How much does it cost to translate a webtoon episode?
Fast mode costs 1 credit a page (2.5 for an 18+ series), and every account starts with 10 free credits. A page that fails a check is refunded. See the cost page for what a chapter costs in your currency.
Do I need the rights to the webtoon?
Yes. Panelift is for people who hold the rights to a work or have the rights holder's permission; you confirm it for every chapter, and rights holders can ask for a takedown.
