Drag. Read.

Panelglot finds the text in each bubble, cleans the original lettering away and writes the translation in its place, sized to fit. Drag the line across the panel.

Questions

Where do the comics come from?

Panelglot does not host comics. You read from the sources you add yourself, or from files on your phone. Panelglot translates what you are already reading.

What is sent when I translate?

Translation requests send detected text, a page fingerprint and source metadata. Page images are not sent. See our privacy policy.

Which languages?

Translations are available in 25 target languages. Panelglot reads Latin, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Devanagari scripts, with automatic source detection available.

Do I need an account?

You can browse as a guest. Sign in with Google to translate; your account keeps your plan and lets you back up your library privately.

Does it work without internet?

Downloaded chapters can be read offline. On-device translation works only for supported language pairs whose model is downloaded on your phone.
