Choose them if...
- IchigoReader: you have whole chapters as PDF or ZIP files on an iPhone and want to try before you pay.
- Mangra: you keep chapter files on Apple devices and want translation that works offline.
- Torii: you read in a browser and want to edit the translated page yourself.
- Immersive Translate: you want one translator for websites, PDFs and videos, with comics as a side feature.
- Scan Translator: you read in a desktop browser and want a few translations to start.
- Cotrans: you browse those art sites on a computer and already use userscripts.
- Mangit: your pages are screenshots on your phone and you want the same page back in your language, on iPhone or Android.
Where Mangit is weaker
- No free tier. Mangit has no free trial and no pages at no cost; the app shows the price before you pay. Several tools above have a free option.
- One image at a time. Mangit doesn't batch a whole chapter in one go; PDF and CBZ chapters are translated page by page in Library.
- No browser extension. Mangit doesn't translate images on websites as you scroll; you take a screenshot first.
- No editor. You can't move or rewrite the translated text inside Mangit.
- Needs a connection. Pages are translated in the cloud, so Mangit doesn't work offline.
Not compared here
Sugoi Translator is often mentioned as an offline translator for computers. We couldn't find an official product page to check its features against, so we don't describe it.
