Turn your storyinto a webtoon.
Turn a written story into a webtoon planned for vertical reading. Paste a short scene, review the cast and shape a three-scene starting plan before generating art. Use spacing, reactions and reveals to control the scroll. The result is an editable comic project; publishing it to a webtoon platform is a separate step.

What you get
Open with a clear hook
Give the first screen a reason to keep scrolling. Use an action, question or striking situation that belongs to the story, not an unrelated teaser.
Let the scroll carry the pause
A reaction or reveal can need more breathing room than a conversation. Review the vertical layout and adjust panel placement rather than treating it like a printed page.
Keep the cast steady
Check reference choices, outfits and recurring locations across the episode. Reuse accepted material and correct continuity problems before you assemble a longer sequence.
Prepare a readable episode
Review speech on a small screen, then export the accepted scenes. Use the webtoon cutter and canvas tools to prepare files for your chosen platform’s current upload requirements.
How it works
01
Choose one episode-sized scene
Paste your story and name the key characters. Keep the opening, change and ending clear enough to review in a short plan.
02
Review the vertical plan
Start with three scenes and five panels each. Adjust dialogue and reveals before artwork generation.
03
Read the scroll and prepare files
Inspect panel spacing and bubble order on a phone. Export the scenes, then size or slice the files for the destination platform.
Short stories with a reason to keep scrolling
Original illustrated examples made for this page. Open a comic to read the full sequence. These are concept studies, not customer projects.

Product capability
Export preparation has working companion tools
The webtoon cutter and canvas-size pages provide separate upload-preparation utilities. They do not automatically publish an episode to a platform.
