What the preview looks like
Public-domain scan from パックの冒険 (1930s, Wikimedia Commons). The English page is the pipeline output from the same preview pass; the free preview you see is this output at lower resolution with a watermark.
Processing, privacy and refunds
| Processing | Usually 1–3 minutes per chapter. Pages are processed one at a time, and the page count is shown before the job starts. |
|---|---|
| Privacy | Uploaded pages are used only to produce your chapter, and files are deleted after 7 days. Previews and downloads are private links; there is no public gallery. |
| Refunds | A chapter that cannot be delivered can be refunded on request. Refunds are not automatic for a translation you simply dislike — the free preview exists so you can judge before paying. |

What the free preview includes
- Every page of the chapter, from 3 to 60 pages — not a sample
- The translated lettering placed in the original speech bubbles
- The original panels, page shape and reading order
- Preview without an account, through a private link
- One of six output languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), French, Italian or German
The preview is produced by the same pipeline as the paid download, so it is the real translation, not a mock-up.

Preview, trial and credits are not the same thing
A free trial usually limits how many pages you can translate. A credit system makes you buy pages in advance. A preview lets you see the finished chapter and decide afterwards. LingoManga uses the preview model: the chapter is translated first, you read it free, and payment is only for the clean download.
Privacy and honest limits
Built on a frontier image model and wrapped in our own manga pipeline: text detection, translation, bubble-fit lettering and a quality gate tuned on real chapters — not a generic image generator with a prompt box. Uploaded files are used only to produce your chapter and are deleted after 7 days; the preview link is private and there is no public gallery. See the privacy policy for details.
- A whole-page image edit can slightly redraw fine line art, screentones and small details.
- Japanese is the most reliable source language; Korean, Chinese and others may need a closer look in the preview.
- You must own the manga or have permission to translate it; see the terms.
Pricing detail is on the pay-per-chapter manga translator page, and there is a real before-and-after sample chapter to look at first.
Questions
Is the whole chapter really free to preview?
Yes. Every page in the chapter, from 3 to 60 pages, is translated and shown as a low-resolution preview with a watermark before any payment. There is no page limit inside the free preview.
Do I need an account to see the free preview?
No. You can upload a chapter and read the preview without creating an account. The private preview link stays in your browser and can be reopened later from the same browser.
Why is the preview watermarked and low resolution?
The preview exists so you can judge the translation and lettering before paying. The watermark and lower resolution keep it from replacing the paid download. The paid ZIP is the same pages at full resolution, without the watermark.
Is the preview the same quality as the paid download?
It comes from the same pipeline. The free preview is the actual translated chapter at low resolution with a watermark, not a sample or a different model, so what you check is what you get.
How is this different from a free trial or free credits?
A free trial gives you a limited number of pages or credits. LingoManga gives you the entire chapter free to read and charges only if you want the clean full-resolution ZIP. Nothing is consumed by previewing.
What happens if I decide not to pay?
Nothing is charged. The preview stays viewable through its private link while the chapter is retained, and the uploaded files are deleted after 7 days.
