Frequently Asked Questions

How many words should fit inside a single manga speech bubble? expand_more

Professional manga and webtoon letterers recommend keeping each speech bubble under 20 to 25 words, and total words per panel under 35 words. Any balloon over 25 words forces smaller font sizes that become illegible on mobile screens.

How many panels should be on a standard manga page vs a webtoon episode? expand_more

Standard print manga pages average 4 to 6 panels per page (with 3-4 panels for high-impact action pages and 6-7 for dense dialogue). Vertical webtoon episodes typically run 40 to 60 individual scroll panels per weekly chapter.

How does the Novel to Manga Script Converter assign camera angles? expand_more

The parser analyzes verb intensity, environmental nouns, and dialogue punctuation to suggest Establishing Wide Shots for scene transitions, Dynamic Low Angles for combat actions, Extreme Close-Ups for internal thoughts, and Over-the-Shoulder shots for conversational exchanges.
