01
Clean
Remove text. Restore artwork. Layer-based — never destroys the source.
Closed beta — coming soon
Localize manga & webtoons. Together. Faster.
One studio for cleaners, translators, typesetters and QC. Powered by AI you control — and you decide when to use it.
Built for studios shipping monthly chapters
4 Roles working in parallel
Page or Webtoon Editor modes
Pay-per-region AI only where you mark it
Your team is editing in seven different tools.
Photoshop for cleaning. Google Docs for translation. Excel for scripts. Slack for review. Drive for files. Discord for chatter. ChatGPT for ideas. Status: nobody knows what's done — and the file is locked.
File locks kill parallelism
Only one editor at a time on a PSD. The team waits in line.
Context lost between roles
Translator's notes never reach the typesetter. QC catches it late.
Manual handoffs
Email a ZIP. Wait. Reply. Re-export. Nobody knows the current status.
Four roles. Working at the same time.
No file locks. Clean while you translate. Typeset while you QC. Hand off page-by-page or all at once. Auto-pull keeps the line moving without anyone asking.
02
Translate
Source script to target language, with glossary and translation memory.
03
Typeset
Place translated text. Auto-fit. Style by preset. Per-language.
04
QC
Review, approve, request changes. Decisions stay with the page.
Page-by-page or batch handoff
Send each page as you finish, or hold the whole chapter — same controls. The downstream role chooses the rhythm.
Opt-in auto-pull
Typesetters can let cleaned pages flow into their queue automatically. No more 'is page 7 ready?' messages.
Team Lead vs Assigned view
Leads see every lane across the chapter. Contributors see only the queue for their role. Same data — different focus.
Real-time presence
See who's working on which page. Soft locks prevent stepping on each other's edits.
Cost-efficient AI
Smart AI. Smaller bill.
Mark exactly where AI runs — draw freehand, lasso a shape, or rectangle a panel. Manual PSD-grade tools cover the easy cases. You decide which costs less.
Result: studios cut AI spend by 60–80% versus running AI on full pages.
Other AI tools
Full pageFull-page AI inference. Pays for pixels you don't need.
Comic Workspace
Crop onlyCrop-based AI. You select. You pay only for that.
Mark only what you need
Draw freehand, lasso a shape, or rectangle a panel — AI runs ONLY on that region. Pay for the pixels that matter, not the whole page.
PSD-style manual tools
Built-in eraser, color-average inpaint, region brush, layer blend modes — handle the easy spots yourself without burning credits.
Transparent per-credit billing
See exactly what every AI call costs in baht / credits. Audit log per page, per role. No surprises.
Smart provider routing
Best-in-class AI per job. Cheap models for simple cleans. Premium models for hard SFX. We pick — you save.
Dual editor mode
Page mode. Webtoon mode. Same project.
One click switches between Photoshop-style page editing and full-length webtoon scroll. Edit in true context — never lose what's around the panel.
Page mode 01 / 18
1 canvas / page PSD workflow Crisp pan + zoom
Webtoon mode scroll ∞
Continuous scroll True panel context No tile splitting
Same files, instant switch
No re-import. No tile splitting. Toggle anytime — your layers, masks, and text stay intact across modes.
AI accelerators
AI that respects your work.
Every AI output lands in a review queue. Never auto-applied. Never overwrites your art. You approve before it ships.
01
AI Clean
Remove dialogue. Restore background. Lands as a new layer — your original is never touched.
Review-before-apply, always
02
AI Translate
Source-aware translation. Honors your glossary and style guide. Includes context from the previous page.
Review-before-apply, always
03
AI Typeset
Auto-fit translated text into speech bubbles. Adjust kerning, leading, and break points before commit.
Review-before-apply, always
04
AI QC
Catch mismatched glossary, broken layout, missed bubbles. Flagged inline for the QC role to confirm.
Review-before-apply, always
Review-before-apply, always.
Comic Workspace is built so AI never silently overwrites your work. Outputs are layers — review, accept, regenerate, or reject.
Why Comic Workspace
Image in. Image out. That's not localization — it's a slot machine.
Most AI manga tools work like this: you upload a page, their server runs everything, you download a flat image back. No layers. No second chance. If their AI flubs — and it does — your art is gambled away to a black box.
Image-in, image-out
Other AI tools
A flat image, no layers
Their AI runs server-side. You get back one merged PNG. No way to hide a bad clean. No way to tweak the typesetting. No second chance.
Ugly clean ruins your art
Black-box cleaning is aggressive — smeared backgrounds, lost tone detail, fuzzy edges. When it fails on your page, you can't undo just the clean. You start over.
Pay for the whole page
Even when AI only needed to touch 10% of the panel, you pay full-page rates. No region picker. No transparency on what you got.
Solo transaction, no team
Image-in, image-out is a one-person flow. The cleaner can't hand off mid-page to a translator. Typesetter waits. QC waits. Everyone waits.
Seven apps, no status
The DIY toolchain
PSD locks kill parallel work
One cleaner has the PSD open. Everyone else waits in line. Multiply by every chapter.
Translations lost in DMs
Translator drops a note in Discord. Typesetter never sees it. QC catches it last minute. The page ships wrong.
Manual ZIP handoffs
Email a ZIP. Wait. Reply. Reupload. Multiply by every page, every role, every chapter. Most studio time is shuffling files, not editing them.
Seven subscriptions
Photoshop. Google Workspace. Slack. Drive. Discord. ChatGPT. Notion. Pay seven monthly bills to glue your team together — and still no shared status.
Editable layers, parallel team
Comic Workspace
Every AI result is a layer
AI clean lands as a new layer above your source. Don't like it? Hide it. Regenerate it. Stack three alternatives and pick the best. Your art is never touched.
You mark where AI runs
Draw freehand. Lasso a region. Rectangle a panel. AI works only on that selection — and you only pay for those pixels.
Manual tools for the easy cases
Eraser, color-match inpaint, region brush — PSD-grade. Handle the easy spots yourself. Save AI credits for the hard ones.
Four roles, working at once
Cleaner / Translator / Typesetter / QC all open the same chapter at the same time. No file locks. Hand off page-by-page or batch. Opt-in auto-pull keeps the line flowing.
Your art deserves better than 'image in, image out.'
Editable layers
Editable layers, not baked pixels.
Every brush stroke is a layer. Every AI result is a layer. Undo, restack, regenerate — nothing is destroyed.
-
Non-destructive end-to-end
The source image is never overwritten. Every edit is a layer above it.
-
AI outputs as reviewable layers
Clean, inpaint, translate, typeset — every AI result is a separate layer you can toggle.
-
Revert, restack, regenerate anytime
Don't like an AI clean? Hide its layer. Want to try another model? Regenerate without losing the original.
-
Export merges only what you accept
The final export bakes only the layers you've approved. Everything else stays editable.

Frequently asked
When does Comic Workspace launch?
We're in closed beta. Public launch will be announced soon — drop us a line to be notified.
Who owns the work created in Comic Workspace?
You do. Comic Workspace is a tool — your manga, translations, layers, and exports belong entirely to you and your team. We never train on your content.
Does AI replace my translators or cleaners?
No. AI is an accelerator. Every AI output lands in a review queue. You decide what gets used and what gets rejected.
What AI models do you use?
Best-in-class models for each task. We route by job — cheaper models for simple work, premium for the hard cases. You see the cost per call in the audit log.
Can I work without AI?
Yes. The manual tools are full-featured — eraser, inpaint, layer blend modes, brush, text — everything you expect from a professional editor. AI is opt-in per region.
Do you support webtoon-length pages?
Yes. Page mode for traditional manga, Webtoon mode for continuous vertical scroll — same project, switch any time without re-importing.
Can my team work on the same chapter at the same time?
Yes. The cleaner, translator, typesetter, and QC all work in parallel — no file locks. Hand off page-by-page or batch the whole chapter at once.
Will Comic Workspace work for languages other than English?
Yes. The studio is built multi-language from day one. Source and target languages are first-class, with per-locale style guides and exports.
