Direct your comic panel by panel — or let Panelix draft the whole page. Your call. Panelix is an AI-powered comic, manga, manhwa, manhua, and seinen creation studio built for storytellers who want real creative control — not just a random output. Type a story, pick a style, choose your cast, and Panelix builds the pages panel by panel. Every character stays visually consistent across the whole story, so your hero looks like your hero on page one and page six. —— WHAT YOU CAN DO —— • Turn real photos into characters — snap a selfie or upload a portrait and Panelix stylizes it into a consistent comic character you can reuse across every story • Or start with a ready-made character — a set of pre-designed heroes is included, no photo required • Two creation modes: – Quick: type a story prompt, tap Generate, get a full comic – Director: control every panel yourself — set the scene, place characters, write dialogue, choose the action • Standard and Enhanced quality tiers so you can trade speed for detail • Regenerate a single panel — or refine any character in your library — without redoing the rest of your page • Export finished comics as PDF to share, print, or archive • Anonymous by default — no account needed to start creating • Sign in with Apple (optional) to keep your account, library, and purchases across devices —— DIRECTOR MODE: PANEL-BY-PANEL CONTROL —— Not writing a prompt and hoping. Calling the shots: • Set the surroundings and environment for each panel independently • Define exactly what each character is doing in that moment • Choose how dialogue appears: speech bubble, thought cloud, or narrator caption • Place up to 5 panels per page, each fully directed by you This is the comic director experience. Not autocomplete. —— ART STYLES —— • Manga — expressive linework, dramatic shading, iconic black-and-white aesthetic • Manhwa — full-color vertical webtoon format with vivid detail • Comic — bold western-style lines with vivid color blocking • Seinen — mature, richly detailed artwork for complex narratives • Manhua — Chinese comic aesthetic with ornate visual style —— PANELIX PRO —— Panelix Pro unlocks unlimited creation and grants credits every billing period. • Panelix Pro Annual — US$59.99 per year, includes 3,000 credits per renewal • Panelix Pro Weekly — US$6.99 per week, includes 300 credits per renewal Need more credits?
