AI Manga Cleaner

It removes text — dialogue inside speech bubbles, narration in caption boxes, hand-drawn SFX (onomatopoeia), and background signage you want erased. The original artwork, characters, panels, and bubble outlines stay completely intact, and the AI inpaints the area behind any erased SFX to match surrounding speed lines, screen tones, or scenery.

Yes. SFX integrated into the artwork is the hardest case in scanlation cleaning, and our AI is trained on this exact pattern. It separates the SFX strokes from the underlying lines and inpaints what was beneath. Extremely complex SFX woven into detailed scenery may need a small touch-up, but most pages come out publish-ready.

All four. Black-and-white Japanese manga with screen tones, full-color Korean manhwa, Chinese manhua, vertical-scroll webtoons, and doujinshi pages are all supported. Pick the page type in the form so the AI applies the right inpainting style.

Yes. The bubble outline, tail, and shape are preserved exactly. Only the text inside is replaced with clean white space, ready for your translated typesetting.

Use the "Bubbles only" preset or pick "Dialogue Bubbles" in the What to Clean field. The AI will leave SFX, narration boxes, and signage untouched.

1200–2400 px on the long side gives the best OCR detection and cleanest inpainting. Standard scanlation raw scans work great. Very low-resolution pages reduce text detection accuracy and may leave traces around erased SFX.

Yes. You can clean pages free online with no sign-up. Batch cleaning for full chapters and 4K output are available with a Pro plan.

Definitely — it's built for that workflow. Most scanlation teams use it as a first-pass cleaner: AI handles 80–90% of pages, and your cleaner does final touch-ups in Photoshop. It cuts cleaning time from hours per chapter to minutes.
