Remove Text from Manga Seamlessly with AI-Powered Technology in seconds

Remove Text from Manga is a free online AI tool that clears Japanese dialogue from manga bubbles and restores screentone, for scanlators and translators preparing pages. Use it when you need clean bubbles before typesetting. It is not perfect on hand-drawn sound effects over detailed art; inspect those panels manually.

Manga cleaning is the most time-consuming part of the scanlation workflow. Removing Japanese dialogue from speech bubbles, erasing integrated sound effects (SFX), and dealing with narration boxes that overlap detailed artwork — what should be a fun translation project turns into hours of tedious Photoshop work per chapter. Our tool lets you remove text from manga pages using an AI diffusion model specifically effective on the unique challenges manga presents. Upload a raw manga page and the AI identifies all text elements: dialogue in speech bubbles, narration boxes, integrated SFX (onomatopoeia like ドドド for impact, キラキラ for sparkles, ゴゴゴ for menace), signs within the art, and chapter title text. The diffusion model removes all text and reconstructs the artwork underneath — continuing line art naturally, extending screentone patterns seamlessly, and inpainting background details realistically. The result is a professionally cleaned page where you cannot tell text was removed. Standard manga pages with typical dialogue and moderate SFX produce excellent results. The AI excels at removing small to moderate amounts of text from each panel. For pages with extremely dense text — such as explanation-heavy panels or pages with SFX covering large portions of the artwork — processing text areas across multiple passes yields the cleanest reconstruction. No Photoshop required, no complex cleaning skills needed. Upload, wait a few seconds, download your clean page.
