- Rated 5 out of 5by Employee427, a year agoonly manga translator ive found that actually works correctly and isn't subscription based. translations on the lowest setting typically work, probably even better on the higher ones. developer provides good support if you have any issues.
- Rated 5 out of 5by MaitrePanda, a year agoProbably one if not the best in browser translator for picture , yes it cost a bit if you want to read a lot of translated picture but the price is really small and its really easy to use , from when i write this review they are the only translator in picture and able to dl the modified picture , simply the best
- Rated 5 out of 5by Uso, a year agoBy far, this is the best manga translator I’ve used, it surpasses all the others I’ve tried so far though it has its own flaws but is normal for all manga translators to have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by SysGabriel, a year agoThis works! I'm having a good time reading manga online without having to wait for scans to translate them. I wish the best for this team and it's extension. Great work guys.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Mike, a year agoUnbelievably convenient translation addon, all of you guys should try it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by IceNex7271, a year agoHey another review guy here! but Seriously, before Torii Image Translator, getting through untranslated manga was such a chore. I used to do it all by hand with Tesseract OCR or other OCR services, and then I’d copy and paste it (obviusly also need to spend a bit of time correcting the formats of text order etc) into DeepL or google translate it took forever to clean it all up and get the formatting right. Each chapter was like, two or three hours of work, maybe more. Its really a total time sink. Now, though? I just drop the image files in and it does all the work for me. The translations are pretty cool too ,and it only takes a minute! It’s a total game changer. I really like how easy it is to use, and the translation quality is pretty nice too (honestly its very servicable and i didn't even use the top models since they use more credits deepseek is goat here for price/performance). I already picked up the 2000 (edit because i misremembered its not 2000 its 2500 credits instead!) credits for like 6 bucks, and it’s honestly good for its price.If you like untranslated comics or manhwa, or really anything with text in an image, you can use this!

posted a year agoThank you for the lovely review! Sorry for not seeing it sooner. Please let me know if there's any way in which I can improve Torii even further! - Rated 5 out of 5by Furkan, a year agoI'm writing this review after postponing it for a few months. I like the translations it offers. It's cheaper than others and provides usage proportional to what you pay. I bought a few golf balls and am using them. Even though free usage is limited, the prices are cheaper compared to a few others I've used, and it offers a wide range of languages. My only concern is privacy. Even if the developer says they don't store data, we can't be sure and have to trust them.
Wake up wake up wake up! - Rated 5 out of 5by PlanB, 2 years agoIt works super well. I used to use Ichigo on Chrome before moving over to Firefox, but this one beats it in every single regard. Even the pricing is beyond reasonable.

posted 2 years agoWow, that's the best possible compliment I could hear! Thank you so much dude :D
Please join the discord server if you'd like to chat - maybe you have a cool suggestion or feature request you'd like to see implemented in Torii, and I can hear you out :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18977037, 2 years agoPretty much the best one straight Outta the box.
Would've been even cooler if I could also use my own api keys nglDeveloper response
posted 2 years agoThank you kind user! Torii now supports your own API keys from OpenRouter, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI or a custom provider. You'll find it under Bring Your Own Key in the extension popup. - Rated 5 out of 5by panos, 2 years agoSo the firefox extension works very well on a couple of manga websites I tested.
The choice of LLMs has increased and the brand new 2.5 flash has been added!
For manga reading the 2.0 is more than enough but I think that adding the image context option helps a lot.
For those who leave low star reviews because it's paid, please take into account that nothing in this life is free. This extension, apart from coding the extension itself, requires a service that runs in the background, and API calls to the LLM providers. All of these cost money, and you have to have the actual skills to do it. Most of the "low star because it's paid" reviewers have absolutely no idea how stuff work, could never do it on their own, and still expect it to be free.
Please appreciate the effort that has gotten into this, the ongoing running costs, the ease of use that it provides, which would be unimaginable a few years ago and the really really low amount of money it requires from the end user.
Google lens might be "free", but even if we don't consider the inconvenience, it feeds on your data, so it's not really free. Nothing in life is free. Perhaps the air we breathe, but I have doubts.
Great work stringie! I'd give 6 stars if I could.Developer response
posted 2 years agoI really appreciate your kind review panos, it means a lot to me. I'll keep improving Torii to make it the best on the internet. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lnwmala, 2 years agoI can confidently say that this is the best extension for translating text in images, and it is very accurate.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18956531, 2 years agoPeople who are writing poor reviews for something that requires payment for use are being quite inconsiderate of the developer. There are alternative addons that allow you to translate locally that are free... but this one provides translations using another method. This requires no knowledge of Python, hosting servers, or anything of the sort.
The translations are (usually) pretty good. The text is as impressive as a typical Google translate result... but what I'm more impressed about is it's ability to overlay the foreign text with the translated text. If you can afford 5 bucks for a good amount of translations... then I say it's worth the money.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks a lot for the kind words :) Torii's translations are a big step up from typical Google Translate results, because modern models like GPT and Gemini handle context much better. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15777154, 2 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by malau, 2 years agoIt actually works - even vertical text !!!!
I normally would immediately downvote any trial/paid/limited credit addon, but the dev's FAQ is totally transparent and completely breaks down why it costs money (you get 10 free credits, it costs you 0.3 credits per image), even providing a link to GPT4's pricing model !
The only thing I would advise free users (like me, who can't justify paying for a novelty/convenience product) is to turn OFF auto translations ! If you go to a site with lots of images (cough), absent mindedly move your mouse over the images as you're browsing, and your credits will be toasted immediately ! ;-)
Anyway, congrats to the dev on an excellent product.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks so much for the nice review malau! I'm happy to hear everything works, vertical text included, and thanks for reading the FAQ. Good tip about turning off auto-translate on image-heavy sites, too.
