Before and after
A one-page pixiv manga, translated to English
A short comic about a second-hand bread maker that has lost faith in people. The bubbles, the narration box and the shop sign are rewritten in English. The hand-drawn grumble and the logo on the bread bag stay part of the art.
- Vertical Japanese read in bubble order
- Narration boxes and signs translated too
- Small side remarks keep their place on the page
What pixiv translates, and what it leaves to you
Titles, captions, comments
pixiv translates these itself when you switch its display language. Its help page, About translations, lists the details.
Text inside the image
pixiv's translation doesn't touch what is drawn on the page. Bubbles, narration and handwritten notes in manga and illustrations are what this tool is for.
Novels
pixiv doesn't translate novel text either. It isn't an image, so your browser's page translation is the better fit there.

See pricingQuestions about translating pixiv
Doesn't pixiv translate already?
Only titles, captions and comments. pixiv says its feature doesn't translate the text in illustrations, manga or novels, so the dialogue on the page stays in Japanese.
Can I paste a pixiv link instead?
Not at the moment. Save the images from the work page, then upload them here.
Does it work on illustrations too?
Yes. Any image with text works: illustrations with speech bubbles, 4-koma and comic essays. An image without text isn't charged.
Are the images I upload shared?
No. They're used only to make the translation, never published or used to train models. If you share a translated page, follow the artist's rules on reposting.
