Comic editor and importer

Import the comic. Keep the order. Keep editing.

Drop a PDF, CBZ, ZIP, EPUB, page folder, or LlamaGen project JSON. LlamaGen builds one ordered comic you can open in Studio—without spending generation credits on pages that already exist.

Start from a story with the AI comic generator, or continue your existing pages in the same comic maker. Then download the result for reading, print, gifts or presentations.

Import does not spend generation credits. Sign-in is required to save the comic to your library.

A repeatable export workflow

  1. Finish the page

    Open your saved comic in Studio. Correct names, dialogue, crop and page order before downloading. For imported PDF or image pages, existing lettering remains part of the image; edit overlays or replace the image where needed.

  2. Choose pages and format

    Open Download, choose all pages or a selection, then set the file type. For PDF, select the paper size or Auto fit. Check the paid indicator before changing advanced settings.

  3. Open the exported result

    Check the first and last page, missing images and small dialogue. For a print gift, make one proof; for a presentation, run the actual slideshow.

What this editor is for

Finish work you already started, without redrawing the book

Start from a story with the AI comic generator, or import the pages you already have. The comic maker brings both paths into Comic Studio for editing and export.

01

Import finished comics

PDF, CBZ, ZIP, EPUB, page images, and project JSON become one ordered comic. The importer keeps file-name order so a 24-page chapter does not arrive shuffled.

02

Edit in Comic Studio

Open imported pages in Comic Studio, add editable captions or bubbles, adjust crop and page order, or regenerate a page image. Existing lettering in a flattened PDF or image remains part of its pixels.

03

Or generate the next chapter

When you need new pages, the same studio can start from a story, recurring characters, and a chosen format: manga, Western comic, or vertical Webtoon.

Comic creators

What makes LlamaGen.Ai stand out is how specifically it is tuned for sequential storytelling and visual consistency. Keshav highlights character references that hold up across frames, poses, and angles; a smooth text-to-storyboard flow; and panel-level control over composition, poses, and regional edits.

Educators

LlamaGen turns a written idea into a complete visual story, keeps characters consistent, and removes the need for additional video-editing skills. For training and patient-education stories, it reduces production time and upfront costs while speeding up prototyping.

Brand storytellers

LlamaGen helps our marketing team produce comic-style storyboards and illustrated campaign content much faster without needing a dedicated illustrator for every asset. Character consistency keeps campaigns cohesive, while text prompts and multilingual support speed up ideation for a mixed-language audience.

Real product workflow

Import, confirm order, continue in Studio

These product views show the Studio destination and related creation tools. Preview and order files in the importer first; imported lettering stays part of the page image. Studio overlays, crop and selected-image regeneration support later revisions.

  1. LlamaGen Comic Studio canvas and comic page editing controls
    STEP 01

    Drop the finished pages

    Upload PDF, CBZ, ZIP, EPUB, images, or project JSON. Preview the page order, move or remove a page, and name the comic before it enters your library.

    • 1Keep natural file-name order
    • 2Limit the import to 40 pages
  2. LlamaGen storyboard workspace showing a sequence of scenes
    STEP 02

    Open the ordered comic

    Imported work is saved as a processed comic, not a generation job. The first page becomes the cover. Studio can continue immediately.

    • 1Skip the generation queue
    • 2Save into the comics list
  3. LlamaGen character workspace with reference and design controls
    STEP 03

    Edit, regenerate, or add pages

    Add dialogue overlays, replace or regenerate a selected image, or create new pages. Existing text inside an imported page is flattened; it does not become an editable text layer.

    • 1Edit captions and bubbles
    • 2Regenerate only the failed panel

What import actually delivers

Result
One ordered comic

The file becomes a LlamaGen COMIC artwork with page order intact, not a pile of unrelated images.

Credits
No generation charge

Import writes processed pages and skips the model queue. Later redraws follow normal credit rules.

Studio
Same Comic Studio

Imported books use the same canvas as generated comics, including captions, crop, and selected-panel regenerate.

Layout
Native JSON or Layout0

Project JSON can keep its panel layout when counts match. Other files become one full-page panel per image.

Judge the destination, not a crop

Imported pages should still read as comics

These examples show the kinds of pages Studio can keep editing after import or generation. Open a still at full size; the motion card is a later animation step, not an import format.

Rainy railway scene as a black-and-white manga action page

Manga page · Print-first teams

Last Train

A black-and-white action page with a setup, chase, close-up, and final beat—the kind of finished page a CBZ or PDF import should preserve.

Full-color Western comic page about an inventor and robot

Western comic · Color comic teams

City Rescue

A full-color page with changing camera angles. In Studio, add caption overlays or revise native text layers; words baked into an imported image require image editing or replacement.

Vertical fantasy Webtoon episode with a young hero

Vertical Webtoon · Mobile readers

The Portal Trail

Long-form vertical pacing that you may import as ordered images, then continue in Studio as a webtoon project.

Motion later · Pitch teams

Storm Swordswoman

Once the still pages are approved, selected frames can continue into a motion comic. Import does not create this video by itself.

Fix the part that failed

You do not have to re-import the whole book

Treat import as the start of an editable project. Keep approved pages, isolate the problem, and revise the smallest useful unit in Studio.

A page arrived in the wrong order

Move pages in the importer before you save, or reorder in Studio after the comic lands in your library.

One panel still needs a redraw

Regenerate that panel from Comic Studio. Imported neighbors stay in place; you are not charged for the pages you kept.

Captions do not match the beat

Edit native dialogue and caption layers, or add overlays on imported pages. Text already baked into an imported PDF or image stays in the pixels.

Honest import limits

PDF rendering happens in the browser. Each PDF page becomes one studio page, not an auto-cut panel grid. Unusual encodings, scanned books with no extractable pages, or files over the page cap will not silently invent missing art. JSON layout is preserved only when the panel count still matches after you confirm the preview. CBR works only when the file is a ZIP of images.

Before you start

Import is free of generation credits. Accounts still apply.

The signed-in balance remains the source of truth when you later regenerate a panel. Import itself does not start a model job.

Safety, rights, and publishing

You are responsible for the files you upload

This is a plain-language summary, not a substitute for the policies. Importing a comic you do not own is still a rights problem even if LlamaGen stores it as your project.

Content safety and reporting

The Content Policy applies to uploads, generated or edited output, public posts, and API use. Use the Report control on a public artwork, or follow the Content Policy's reporting instructions. Do not attach suspected child-abuse material.

Commercial use of imported files

Uploading a PDF or CBZ does not transfer third-party copyright to you. Keep licenses for scanlations, client books, and stock pages. LlamaGen Terms cover LlamaGen's interest in generated output, not the original files you brought in.

AI edits are still AI output

Regenerated panels follow the same copyright caution as any LlamaGen generation: output may not be unique or copyrightable everywhere. Keep records of human edits when a project matters commercially.

Questions before importing

Comic editor and importer FAQ

What files can I import into the comic editor?

The comic importer accepts PDF, CBZ, ZIP, EPUB, folders of page images, and LlamaGen project JSON. CBR files open when they are ZIP comics; RAR-based CBR is not supported yet. Each PDF page becomes one studio page—the importer does not auto-cut panels. Images are sorted in natural file-name order. A project JSON can keep the original studio layout when the panel count still matches and you do not reorder pages.

Does importing a finished comic use generation credits?

No. Imported pages are saved as a processed comic and skip the generation queue. You only spend credits later if you regenerate a panel or create new pages in Studio.

How many pages can one import include?

The current importer keeps the first 40 pages. Longer books should be split into chapters before import. This limit is a product constraint, not a print-shop specification.

Can I keep editing after import?

Yes. Open the comic in Studio to add caption and bubble overlays, change crop or page order, or regenerate selected images. Existing words in imported PDF or image pages are flattened pixels; import does not recover the original text or drawing layers.

What if I do not have a finished comic yet?

Use the AI Comic Generator to write a story, generate connected pages, then keep editing in the same studio. This editor page is for continuing work you already have; the generator is for starting from text.

Does CBZ or ZIP become one comic or many?

One archive becomes one ordered comic. Page images inside the zip are collected, junk folders such as __MACOSX are skipped, and the file names determine reading order.

Will a multi-panel JSON stay multi-panel?

If the project JSON still has the same number of panel images after import, LlamaGen rewrites those panel URLs and keeps the original layouts. If pages were added or removed, the importer falls back to one full-page panel per image so nothing is invented.

Is the comic editor free?

Importing finished pages does not charge generation credits. Saving still requires an account. Later panel regeneration, HD export, and watermark removal follow the live Pricing page and your current plan.

Can I use imported comics commercially?

You remain responsible for owning or licensing the files you upload. LlamaGen assigns its interest in generated output under the Terms; that does not clear third-party rights in a PDF or CBZ you imported.

How do I report unsafe imported material?

Use the Report control on a public artwork or send a Content Safety Report with the page URL. Do not attach suspected child-abuse material. The Content Policy applies to uploads, edits, and public posts.

Keep the page order. Open Studio when you are ready.

Drop the files, confirm the sequence, add the comic to your library, and continue captions, layout, and selected-panel edits without starting over.
