Webtoon into a print manga: it sounds simple, but it’s an art form. In a world where digital stories dominate, bringing them to paper isn’t just about resizing panels. It’s about reimagining storytelling for a new medium. That’s where Printoonize! steps in.
Turning a webtoon into a printed manga isn’t just a layout adjustment, it’s a full editorial adaptation process. At Printoonize!, we specialize in helping creators and publishers bring their digital stories to life in print. Whether you’re adapting a successful webtoon into a physical book or turning a classic manga into a vertical scroll experience, our team ensures a seamless transition between formats, without compromising the story’s impact.
Editorial adaptation, not automated conversion
Unlike automated tools or AI-based solutions, Printoonize relies on human expertise. Every adaptation is handled by experienced editors, designers and letterers who carefully adjust pacing, panel structure, and layout to fit the expectations of print readers.
We don’t just “convert” content: we rebuild it for a new medium, while staying true to the creator’s original intent. Dialogue is rebalanced, visual rhythms are redesigned, and the entire reading experience is rebuilt to feel natural in book format.
What is “printoonization”?
Printoonization is the process of transforming a vertical webtoon into a horizontal, page-based print edition. This includes:
- full page layout design and reformatting,
- manual reworking of transitions and rhythm,
- typography and lettering adapted for print,
- a final product that reads like a manga and feels like the original story.
Conversely, we also provide webtoonization: adapting manga or traditional comics into vertical-scrolling content optimized for mobile reading, perfect for platforms like Webtoon, Lezhin or Ono.
