A local studio for comics you own.

MangaShift is a desktop comic reader and a toolkit of AI features for translating, narrating and adapting material you hold the rights to. Your projects stay on your machine.

Local comic reader

Read your library on Windows with a focused, panel-aware reader. MangaShift is not a content store and ships no comics of its own.

OCR & translation

Extract text and translate it with local models or your own API keys (BYOK). You stay in control of every provider you connect.

Text-to-speech

Turn dialogue and narration into speech for material you are allowed to process, with voices from your configured providers.

Frame animation

Add motion to panels and assemble scenes for legally held material — a path from static page toward a moving adaptation.

Audio & video export

Export audio, video or motion comic when you hold the rights for that use. Results render locally and stay yours.

BYOK & local projects

Bring your own keys for Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, DeepL and more. Keys live in your system credential store; projects stay on disk.

What MangaShift is not

MangaShift does not host your files, does not provide comics, and is not a way around copyright. Importing a comic does not by itself grant the right to adapt, narrate or publish it.
