From Scroll to Page: Professional Web-to-Print Conversion for Publishers and Webtoon Studios

As webtoons continue to dominate digital platforms, more publishers and content studios are exploring how to bring these stories to print. But the transition from vertical scroll to traditional book format is anything but straightforward.

At Printoonize, we specialize in webtoon-to-print layout conversion, providing high-quality, print-ready PDF files tailored for publishers and studios who want to produce printed manhwas or manga volumes from digital-first content.

🧠 Printoonization: What It Means and Why It Matters

Webtoons are designed to be scrolled, not flipped. Their structure is fluid, uninterrupted, and optimized for mobile reading. This format, while ideal for apps, presents major challenges when adapted to print:

• No standard page breaks
• Irregular panel arrangements
• Non-linear visual rhythm

Printoonization is the craft of converting that scroll into a fully functional print layout. It’s not automation. It’s not about resizing images. It’s a professional editorial process that respects the creator’s vision while delivering a layout that feels natural in book form.

“You can’t just cut up a webtoon and expect it to work in print. Each panel has to be rethought in context. That’s our job: to make it read like it was always meant for the page.”
— Pierre Minne, printoonizer at MAKMA
