- Rated 5 out of 5by ab, 9 days agoFair warning: the extension will cost you money after the first 20 image translations.
But imo it's worth it because:
The extension actually works, lol. This differentiates it from the other dozen ones I've tried which have invariably sucked or plain not worked at all.
I use it to translate random jp/cn/kr comics on pixiv. It's super convenient, text in the images gets translated right there on the screen.
The translations aren't always perfect (it can struggle with hand-writing), but it's FAR better than what you get by pasting the image into google translate/google lens.
The interface is super easy to use, too. You don't even need to instruct it which language it is looking at. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nimi, 9 days agoClean and fast.
The translated texts are very readable texts and are within the speech bubbles(other scanlation extensions/sites just slaps white textboxes on top of the speech bubbles, etc) which makes it looks clean.
If you are looking for something to translate those untranslated works, do give this extension a try. - Rated 5 out of 5by megamouse, 12 days agothis is currently one of the best image translation extensions, and it’s far superior to other tools. I understand why you don’t allow personal API use, but it really is a feature worth having. Anyway, this thing is amazing, not perfect of course, but I hope it gets even better in the future

- Rated 5 out of 5by AzraelusGuy, 23 days agoAlright so I'm using this app for 2 weeks and must say that I'm impressed how intuitive it is ... but also a lot of useful tools makes it worth every cent!
Of course it won't work in 100% everytime-everywhere but this is a nitpick...
AND for those who think this should be free - it's a pipe dream... c'mon it got really user-friendly way of payment - no shady subscription but buying points that You can use as You see fit :)Developer response
posted 14 days agoThanks a bunch! But I'm sure I'm going to keep getting stupid reviews from people who want everything to be free even when it's physically impossible. - Rated 5 out of 5by DER_ULTRA_HASE, a month agoActually works better than I thought. Works fast and automatic. I tried it with the sits NAVER korean to english and it worked great. It struggled however a bit with short impressions that however I think is because of the model I used
- Rated 5 out of 5by Employee427, a month agoonly manga translator ive found that actually works correctly and isn't subscription based. translations on the lowest setting typically work, probably even better on the higher ones. developer provides good support if you have any issues.
- Rated 5 out of 5by MaitrePanda, a month agoProbably one if not the best in browser translator for picture , yes it cost a bit if you want to read a lot of translated picture but the price is really small and its really easy to use , from when i write this review they are the only translator in picture and able to dl the modified picture , simply the best
- Rated 5 out of 5by Uso, a month agoBy far, this is the best manga translator I’ve used, it surpasses all the others I’ve tried so far though it has its own flaws but is normal for all manga translators to have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by SysGabriel, 2 months agoThis works! I'm having a good time reading manga online without having to wait for scans to translate them. I wish the best for this team and it's extension. Great work guys.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mike, 2 months agoUnbelievably convenient translation addon, all of you guys should try it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by IceNex7271, 2 months agoHey another review guy here! but Seriously, before Torii Image Translator, getting through untranslated manga was such a chore. I used to do it all by hand with Tesseract OCR or other OCR services, and then I’d copy and paste it (obviusly also need to spend a bit of time correcting the formats of text order etc) into DeepL or google translate it took forever to clean it all up and get the formatting right. Each chapter was like, two or three hours of work, maybe more. Its really a total time sink. Now, though? I just drop the image files in and it does all the work for me. The translations are pretty cool too ,and it only takes a minute! It’s a total game changer. I really like how easy it is to use, and the translation quality is pretty nice too (honestly its very servicable and i didn't even use the top models since they use more credits deepseek is goat here for price/performance). I already picked up the 2000 (edit because i misremembered its not 2000 its 2500 credits instead!) credits for like 6 bucks, and it’s honestly good for its price.If you like untranslated comics or manhwa, or really anything with text in an image, you can use this!

posted a month agoThank you for the lovely review! Sorry for not seeing it sooner. Please let me know if there's any way in which I can improve Torii even further! - Rated 5 out of 5by Furkan, 4 months agoI'm writing this review after postponing it for a few months. I like the translations it offers. It's cheaper than others and provides usage proportional to what you pay. I bought a few golf balls and am using them. Even though free usage is limited, the prices are cheaper compared to a few others I've used, and it offers a wide range of languages. My only concern is privacy. Even if the developer says they don't store data, we can't be sure and have to trust them.
Wake up wake up wake up! - Rated 5 out of 5by PlanB, 4 months agoIt works super well. I used to use Ichigo on Chrome before moving over to Firefox, but this one beats it in every single regard. Even the pricing is beyond reasonable.

posted 4 months agoWow, that's the best possible compliment I could hear! Thank you so much dude :D
Please join the discord server if you'd like to chat - maybe you have a cool suggestion or feature request you'd like to see implemented in Torii, and I can hear you out :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18977037, 4 months agoPretty much the best one straight Outta the box.
Would've been even cooler if I could also use my own api keys nglDeveloper response
posted 4 months agoThank you kind user!
Torii currently doesn't support custom api keys. But I'll think about it :) - Rated 5 out of 5by panos, 4 months agoSo the firefox extension works very well on a couple of manga websites I tested.
The choice of LLMs has increased and the brand new 2.5 flash has been added!
For manga reading the 2.0 is more than enough but I think that adding the image context option helps a lot.
For those who leave low star reviews because it's paid, please take into account that nothing in this life is free. This extension, apart from coding the extension itself, requires a service that runs in the background, and API calls to the LLM providers. All of these cost money, and you have to have the actual skills to do it. Most of the "low star because it's paid" reviewers have absolutely no idea how stuff work, could never do it on their own, and still expect it to be free.
Please appreciate the effort that has gotten into this, the ongoing running costs, the ease of use that it provides, which would be unimaginable a few years ago and the really really low amount of money it requires from the end user.
Google lens might be "free", but even if we don't consider the inconvenience, it feeds on your data, so it's not really free. Nothing in life is free. Perhaps the air we breathe, but I have doubts.
Great work stringie! I'd give 6 stars if I could.Developer response
posted 4 months agoI really appreciate your kind review panos. Means a lot to me to hear something nice, haha. For a moment, there was a streak of bad reviews and I got worried. I don't know why people aren't more reasonable with their expectations. I guess everyone is annoyed that everything in their life wants their money, which I understand. Still, it's very disheartening to hear bad reviews after putting a whole year's worth of effort into improving Torii. Nonetheless, I'll keep improving Torii to make it the best on the internet and hopefully there will be people like yourself who appreciate it. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lnwmala, 5 months agoI can confidently say that this is the best extension for translating text in images, and it is very accurate.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18956531, 5 months agoPeople who are writing poor reviews for something that requires payment for use are being quite inconsiderate of the developer. There are alternative addons that allow you to translate locally that are free... but this one provides translations using another method. This requires no knowledge of Python, hosting servers, or anything of the sort.
The translations are (usually) pretty good. The text is as impressive as a typical Google translate result... but what I'm more impressed about is it's ability to overlay the foreign text with the translated text. If you can afford 5 bucks for a good amount of translations... then I say it's worth the money.Developer response
posted 5 months agoHey, thanks a lot for coming to my defense :)
I don't really understand those people expecting everything in this world to either be free or unusable. The good things in life more often than not provide some value which doesn't come for free. People's labor needs to be rewarded for providing you with that value. High quality products cost money and should be fairly priced.
Also, I would say that Torii's translations are 10x better than the typical google translate result, haha. The reason is that Google's models are inferior to the modern capabilities of LLMs like GPT4 and Gemini, which is what Torii uses.
