Why an extension instead of screenshot translation
The hardest part of following raw manga isn't the language — it's the workflow: screenshot a page, paste it into a translator, switch back, repeat for the next page. One or two panels is fine; a whole chapter kills the reading rhythm.
A browser extension works differently: it translates right on the manga page you're already reading and renders the text back into the original speech bubbles, so you just keep scrolling. Here's how to set up Loomic in 3 steps.
3 steps to start using Loomic
- Install the Loomic extension from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open a supported manga site and sign in to your Loomic account.
- Click the Loomic translate button and keep reading in your own language, live.
That's it — no screenshots, no pasting into another tool, no jumping between tabs.
Which browsers are supported
The Loomic extension works on Chromium browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave.
How translations are counted, and can you try first
- The extension shows translations live on the page; it does not save them as separate translated image files.
- You can try it with free credits first to check the quality and the sites it supports before deciding.
One honest note
Manga layouts vary enormously. On dense text, stylized fonts, sound effects, or low-resolution pages, results can vary — and that's something we keep improving.
