Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about making manga here: the art, your work, your data and what things cost. For the craft of making a chapter, the Guide teaches that separately.
Getting started
What is Manga Meera?
A tool that turns your story into finished manga pages, in ink or full colour. You write the idea; Meera and the studio handle the art, the paneling, and the lettering. You stay in control at every step.
Do I need to know how to draw?
No. Every image is generated for you. Your job is the story: the characters, the world, and what happens. The Guide teaches the craft side (pacing, paneling, dialogue) so your story reads well.
Read the Guide →Do I need an account?
Yes. Sign in with Google or an email and password; your mangas, cast and credits live in your account, on any computer. Creating happens on a computer, and you can read, download and share from your phone.
Create an account →Art & quality
Why do my characters look different between panels?
Consistency comes from a locked reference sheet for each character. The art model reads it directly and it becomes the source of truth for their look. Give EVERY recurring character one, not just the lead. Then keep the fields marked “every panel” in Cast & assets (hair, outfit, defining features) short and purely visual, because they are injected into every panel to stop drift, and long prose there fights the sheet instead of reinforcing it.
Open Cast & assets →Can I upload a photo and turn it into a character?
Yes. In Cast & assets, use 'Photo → Manga' to upload a photo of yourself or a friend and redraw it as a manga character you can reuse. This feature uses the Gemini engine.
Open Cast & assets →Why did a panel look cropped, or have garbled text?
Panels are now generated to fit their shape, so cropping is largely solved. Garbled letters happen when a scene asks for signs or written text, because image models can't draw real text. Keep written words out of your scene descriptions; the tool adds all real lettering (dialogue, captions, SFX) cleanly afterward.
Your work & ownership
Who owns the manga I create?
Your stories, characters and pages are yours to use, publish and sell, subject to the Terms. Note that the legal status of AI-generated images varies by country, so see the Legal page, and when in doubt, check your local rules before commercial use.
Read the Legal page →How do I export and share a chapter?
On My manga, each chapter has an Export menu: PDF for print and reading, CBZ for comic-reader apps, or a vertical webtoon strip. Publish sends a manga or a chapter to Discover, where anyone can read it by link, rate it and favourite it.
Open My manga →Is my work saved? Could I lose it?
Your mangas, cast and pages save to your account as you work, so they follow you to any computer you sign in on. Drafts in Create autosave per manga. Deleting a manga, a page or an asset asks first, and can't be undone after that.
Languages
Does it work in Arabic?
Not yet, and it is close. The Arabic interface, Meera speaking Arabic and Arabic lettering in the panels are built and switched off while we finish English first. It will arrive as an EN / ع toggle in the top bar.
Data & billing
What data do you collect, and is my photo safe?
To generate art, your prompts and any images you upload (including a Photo → Manga photo) are sent to the AI provider that draws them, Google (Gemini); Pollinations only ever acts as an automatic fallback. We don't sell your data. The Legal page lists exactly what's processed and by whom.
Read the Privacy section →Is it free? Are there subscriptions?
Writing with Meera, building your cast and story, and the page editor are free. Credits are spent only when Meera draws: each panel and each reference sheet costs a few. Buy them as one-time packs (from $5, they never expire) or as a monthly membership that refills at a better rate. New accounts start with no credits, so the Credits page is the first stop before your first drawn page.
