Does the line art colorizer work with pencil sketches?

Yes, but scan or photograph the page in even light and raise contrast first. Faint construction lines may disappear in Strict mode or become unintended edges in Loose mode.

What is the difference between Line Art Colorizer and Manga Colorizer?

Line Art Colorizer is for sketches, ink drawings, and editable illustration bases. Manga Colorizer is tuned for finished pages with panels, screentones, speech bubbles, and dense printed detail.

Can I adjust colors after AI colorization?

You can regenerate with a short palette direction such as “teal jacket, warm sunset, neutral skin.” For exact local edits, export the result and finish it in a layer-based editor.

What types of manga can I colorize?

You can try colorizing black-and-white manga, comics, webtoons, line art and sketches. Results depend on the source image and selected model.

Can I colorize and translate a manga page together?

Use Manga Translator first, then pass the translated page to Manga Colorizer. This order protects bubble detection and makes the final color pass easier to review.

Will the original line art be preserved?

The Line Fidelity setting lets you choose how closely the result should follow the original lines. Results can vary, so check the generated image for changes to the artwork.

Can I control the color style?

Use a prompt to describe the colours, mood or style you want. The result may vary depending on the source image and selected model.
