Manga translator for iPhone & iPad

Read any manga in your language.

Bring your own chapters. Sumi erases the original text and re-typesets the translation right into the art — vertical Japanese included. You get 15 free pages plus 5 more every day you check in; after that, subscribe to Sumi Pro or buy a page pack. A built-in dictionary with flashcard review is waiting when you want to actually learn the language.

Included with Sumi

Translate the page you are reading in Safari.

The Safari extension comes inside the Sumi app and signs in through it, so Safari uses the same Sumi account as the app, the website and the Chrome extension — one subscription, one page balance.

  • Signs in through the Sumi app
  • Same account, subscription and pages everywhere
  • Enable once in iOS Settings

Import anything

PDF, ZIP, CBZ, EPUB, photos, and folders — manga and ebooks. Drag straight from Files on iPad.

Free pages every day

Fifteen pages to start, then five more on every daily check-in — enough to judge the translation before you pay.

Fix any bubble

Tap any bubble to retranslate, adjust the tone, or edit the text yourself — the artwork underneath stays untouched.

Subscribe or buy pages

Sumi Pro from $6.99/month, or page packs from $1.99 that never expire.

Inside the app

A reader first, a translator second.

The same screens the App Store shows — real pages, real controls, nothing mocked up.

FAQ

iPhone & iPad, answered

Is there a free manga translator for iPhone and iPad?+

Yes. You get 15 free pages plus 5 more every day you check in. After that, Sumi Pro is $6.99/month ($69.99/year) for 1,500 cloud pages each billing month, or page packs start at $1.99 for 200 pages and never expire. Subscribe in the app or on mangasumi.com — it is the same subscription on every device.

What can I import?+

PDF, ZIP, CBZ, EPUB, photos, and folders — manga and ebooks alike. On iPad you can drag chapters straight in from the Files app.

Can I translate manga into languages other than English?+

Yes — pick your language and Sumi re-types the translation into the art. Tap any bubble to retranslate, change the tone, or edit a line yourself.

Does it work offline?+

Not right now — on-device offline translation is temporarily off the shelf while we rework it. Cloud translation works on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and needs a connection.

Does Sumi run on Mac?+

Yes — install it from the Mac App Store on Apple Silicon (M-series) Macs. It is the same app as on iPhone and iPad — same library, and the same Sumi account as iPhone, iPad and the web — with keyboard shortcuts and trackpad support. Translation on Mac runs through Sumi cloud; the offline model pack stays on iPhone and iPad for now.
