Illuminate every story

A free, open-source desktop app for translating manga, manhwa, and manhua. Text detection, OCR, translation, inpainting, and typesetting run through a local pipeline — and every step stays editable.

Get started

Semi-automatic pipeline

Detection, OCR, translation, inpainting, and typesetting are automated — but every result stays editable, so you only polish what the models got wrong.

Local and private

All models run on your machine through ONNX Runtime. Only translation can call an external AI API, and only the text you choose is ever sent.

Everything editable

Fix detected boxes, edit or retranslate OCR lines, toggle inpaint masks, and typeset each layer — with lasso, rectangle, brush, and text tools at hand.

One-file projects

Save a whole project — pages, masks, layers, and typography — into a single .lmi file, and export polished PNG or JPG pages in any order.
