10/10
Il s'agit là d'une très bonne application pour les personnes ayant du mal avec les manhwa/webtoon de langue étrangère. Elle traduit de manière juste, et même si elle fait des erreurs on peut l'auto corriger ! De plus les pièces ne se retire pas énormément lorsqu'on fait traduire un chapitre. Donc je recommande vivement cette application pour toute personne souhaitant lire dans sa langue maternelle.
English translation
This is a very good app for people who struggle with foreign-language manhwa and webtoons. It translates accurately, and even if it makes mistakes, you can correct it yourself. Also, it does not use too many coins when translating a chapter. I highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to read in their native language.
Highly Recommended!
The translations are clear, accurate, and easy to understand.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is OpenToon and how does it work?
OpenToon is a mobile app for iOS and Android that uses AI to translate manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoons and comics into 50+ languages. Paste a chapter URL from a website or browse with the built-in viewer - and OpenToon translates every speech bubble naturally. Translated chapters are saved on-device for instant re-reading, and you can tap any bubble to flip back to the original characters at any time.
Is OpenToon free?
There is a free trial for new users to try the app. After that, you can continue translating with coin packs or a subscription. These go towards maintaining the app and paying for the AI/server costs (as well as feeding the devs!)
How accurate is OpenToon's AI translation?
We built the most popular novel translator in the world, OpenNovel. We use the same advanced AI for translating comics, inspired by LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude - so you can be assured that we know a thing or two about translations. You can still edit any bubble yourself if you would prefer a different reading.
What manga, manhwa and webtoon sites does OpenToon support?
OpenToon ships with a built-in URL importer that works with many raw sources such as Naver Comic, Kakao Webtoon, Ridibooks, Kuaikan Manhua, Pixiv, Webtoons for multi-language titles. You can also paste a link from most other comic sites. See the raw sources page for more resources on where to find raws.
What languages does OpenToon translate?
OpenToon translates manga, manhwa, manhua and webtoons between 50+ languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Source languages cover every major comic-producing region - Korean (manhwa), Chinese (manhua), Japanese (manga) and English.
Can I read Korean manhwa in English with OpenToon?
Yes — OpenToon translates Korean manhwa from Naver Comic, Kakao Webtoon and Ridibooks into English (and 49+ other languages) directly on your phone. Paste the chapter URL into the app, or browse the source site inside the built-in viewer and tap to translate.
How much does OpenToon cost?
OpenToon is free to download and includes a free trial so you can read full chapters before paying anything. After the free trial, refer to the pricing page for the available packages.
Is using OpenToon legal? What about copyright?
OpenToon does not host or redistribute any comics — it is a translation layer on top of chapters you are already reading from sources you have access to.
