What is Torii Image Translator?
Torii Image Translator is an AI tool for reading comics in another language. Instead of placing a text box over the artwork, it removes the original lettering with inpainting and typesets the translation inside each speech bubble. It runs as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox and Safari, where you click an icon on any comic image or let pages translate while you scroll, and as a web app for your own files, where a whole chapter uploaded as images, a ZIP or a PDF is processed in one pass. A built-in editor lets you move, restyle or rewrite any bubble, and a colorizer converts black-and-white pages to colour. Translation is carried out by a model you choose, among them Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek and Grok, across more than 120 languages. Usage is paid with credits rather than a subscription.
Key Features
Clean Typesetting
Erases the source text from the artwork and sets the translated line inside the bubble at a size that fits.
Built-in Editor
Lets you reposition, rotate and restyle text boxes, change fonts, brush away leftovers and re-run OCR on a missed bubble.
Bulk Chapter Translation
Processes every page of an uploaded chapter together; the finished set can be exported as layered PSD files, one PDF or a zipped folder.
Long Strip Support
Handles vertical webtoon strips tens of thousands of pixels tall at full resolution without slicing them into pages.
Model and Prompt Choice
Offers several AI models, custom prompts and glossaries, and shares names and terms between pages for consistency.
Manga Colorizer
Turns monochrome pages into colour, singly or for a full chapter, and the coloured pages can still be translated.

Things to know
- Credits do not expire
- Packs are bought once, are shared across all Torii products and devices, and stay on the account until used.
- Cost depends on model and text
- An image translation is one scanning credit plus an AI cost that grows with text length; using your own provider key removes the AI part.
- Cached results are temporary
- Repeating an unchanged translation is free while it is cached, but cached results are cleared after a week by default.
- Sign-in required
- A Google or email login is needed, and disposable email addresses are blocked.
