Who it's for

  • Manga and webtoon readers who want to translate image-based pages on websites using a browser extension.
  • Scanlators who need to batch-translate chapters from images, ZIPs, or PDFs and edit lettering before downloading files.
  • App developers who want to submit images for translation through Torii's API endpoint.

Not the right fit if…

  • People who need translations equivalent to a polished official release: Torii describes its output as machine translation and says it does not match a polished official release.

How it fits your workflow

For online reading, install a browser extension, then click the Torii gate on an image or enable auto-translation as pages scroll into view. The extension is listed for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Firefox, and Safari.

For local files, upload images, a ZIP, or a PDF in the web app. Translate individual pages or a whole chapter, edit lettering and page cleanup in the built-in editor, then download the result as a ZIP, PDF, or layered PSD.

Developers can use the shown API upload endpoint to send an image and target language. Torii also offers visual novel and text translation, plus an option to bring an AI provider API key.

Pricing

Frequently asked questions

Is Torii free?

Installing Torii is free, and users receive free credits when they sign up to try it without a card. After that, translations use credits bought as needed; the page says there is no subscription.

What is the difference between the extension and the web app?

The extension translates manga on websites, including auto-translation while scrolling. The web app is for personal files such as images, ZIPs, and PDFs, and supports bulk translation, cleanup, colorization, and downloads. Both use the same account, credits, and editor.

Can Torii batch-translate a whole chapter?

Yes. In the web app, upload a chapter as images, a ZIP, or a PDF to translate every page in one go. The extension can auto-translate pages as you scroll through online chapters.

Which websites does Torii work on?

The page says it works on websites that show manga or comics as images, including reader sites, raw scans, webtoon platforms, forums, and social media.

Which languages can Torii translate?

Torii supports more than 140 languages and detects the source language. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese into English are listed as popular language pairs.

Can Torii translate long manhwa and webtoon strips?

Yes. It translates a whole strip as one image at full resolution without requiring it to be split into pages. The page says strips over 60,000 pixels tall are supported.

Does Torii work on phones?

The page lists Firefox on Android, an App Store version for Safari on iPhone and iPad, and the web app in mobile browsers.

How good are the translations?

Torii uses AI models such as Claude, Gemini, GPT, DeepSeek, and Grok, and carries context across pages. The page describes the output as machine translation rather than a polished official release and says users can edit lines in the built-in editor.

Can Torii colorize manga?

Yes. The web app's AI colorizer can colorize one black-and-white manga page or a whole chapter, and the colorized pages can also be translated.

Can I edit and download the results?

Yes. Text boxes can be moved, restyled, or rewritten, and pages can be cleaned up with the brush, eraser, or AI inpainting. Downloads are available as individual pages or as ZIP, PDF, or layered PSD files.
