On-page translation
The translation sits right on the bubbles
OCR reads the text in the comic image and an AI translation appears over each speech bubble — you keep the art and the flow. It translates a bit ahead as you scroll, so you only use what you read.
Premium · Scanlation
Scanlation mode: a clean, native read
Premium digitally erases the original text from the bubbles and lays the translation in cleanly — so it reads like an official localized release, not an overlay.
Manga Rank
Reading that levels up with you
Finish chapters to earn XP and climb from Novice to Legend. Level up to unlock color themes, bubble styles — and a discount on Premium. The daily cap rewards reading a little every day.
Reading companion
More than a translator — your reading companion
MangaLens remembers what you read, tells you when new chapters drop, and keeps your trackers in sync — things a plain translator can't do.

Is this piracy?
No. MangaLens only translates content you can already legitimately view in your browser. It doesn't bypass paywalls or DRM and doesn't redistribute anything. You're responsible for respecting the rights of the content you translate.
Is my data private?
MangaLens runs only on the sites you explicitly enable, and we don't build profiles on what you read.
What is Scanlation mode?
A Premium feature that digitally erases the original text from the bubbles and places the translation in cleanly, for a native-looking read.
What is Manga Rank?
A leveling system: read chapters to earn XP, climb the ranks, and unlock cosmetics plus a discount on Premium.
How do new-chapter notifications work?
Follow a series with the 🔔 and MangaLens checks for new chapters in the background. When one is out, you get a system notification — click it to jump straight to the new chapter.
Does it slow down my browser?
No. It only activates on the sites you enable, translates a little ahead as you scroll, and caches results so pages you've already seen appear instantly.
Which sites does it work on?
Any site where you can already read manga, manhwa or webtoons in your browser — you switch MangaLens on per site from the popup.
