**Turn your photos and art into manga.** Manga Maker lets you build comics by dropping images — photos or illustrations — into panels. Arrange the panels with your finger and tell your story. With photos you don't even need to draw, and your own illustrations and screenshots work too. ■ Flexible panel layouts • Split, merge, and resize panels by dragging (no limit on panel count) • Plenty of ready-made templates (4-panel, big panel + 3, and more) • Save your own layouts to My layouts and reuse them across pages and comics • Paper sizes: A4, square, tall, or strip ■ Drop images into panels • Just tap a panel and pick a photo or illustration • Paste screenshots or copied images — or drag & drop from Photos in Split View on iPad • Zoom, reposition, and straighten (rotate) inside the panel; add filters like monochrome ■ Layer characters and props to build a scene • Place photos or art on top of panels (move, scale, rotate, flip) • One tap removes the background and lifts just the subject (choose which one if there are several) • Clip to a panel or place freely across panels; control front/back order with balloons ■ Real manga touches • Speech balloons (oval, rounded, rectangle, thought, burst, frameless) with tails — overlapping balloons auto-connect into one • Vertical text supported; choose fonts and colors • Solid black, screentone (halftone), and effect lines (focus / speed / zoom) ■ Read & export • Read your work in the built-in viewer (right- or left-bound, two-page spreads) • Export as PNG, JPEG, or PDF to save, share, or print ■ Made to feel safe • Everything — your comics and images — stays on your device. No account needed, and you can create offline. • Lock a page to protect finished work from accidental edits. • iPhone and iPad. Built with Dynamic Type and VoiceOver in mind. ■ Free & Pro • Create and export for free — all materials (templates, fonts, tones, effect lines) are included. The free plan covers 1 comic of 1 page, 1 saved comic, and standard resolution. • Pro (a one-time purchase) unlocks multiple pages, high resolution + PDF, watermark removal, unlimited saves, and comic-file export (back up & move all comics at once). Some features are unlocked via an in-app purchase (one-time).
