Vertical layout takes planning
Use mobile-first panel spacing, tall compositions, transition gaps, and stacked scenes so the episode scrolls naturally instead of feeling like a cropped comic page.
Turn stories into vertical scroll webtoons
Use LlamaGen as an AI Webtoon Creator for vertical formatting, character consistency, mobile optimisation, and professional webtoon episodes. Start from a prompt or script, then generate scroll-ready panels that feel like one story instead of separate images.
How to create a webtoon episode with AI
Go from story intent to a scroll-ready webtoon draft, then refine the panels that matter most.
1-2
Step 1: Start with a story beat or script
Paste in a premise, dialogue scene, chapter outline, or short script. The AI webtoon generator uses that context to plan panel beats, mood, characters, and scene progression.
2
Step 2: Choose style, cast, and layout direction
Pick manhwa, manga, western comic, romance, action, fantasy, or a custom style. Add character cues and panel goals so the result keeps a consistent visual language.
3
Step 3: Generate, review, and export
Generate the episode, review panel rhythm, fix weaker character shots, adjust spacing, then download images that can be sliced for webtoon platforms or shared as a preview.
✓
Your webtoon draft is ready for review
A strong first draft gives you the cast, scene flow, panel pacing, and mobile reading rhythm you need to keep editing towards a publishable episode.
Start with one scene. Finish with a webtoon draft.
Use the generator for the first pass, then refine character shots, spacing, and export slices before publishing.
Creator pain points
Why a webtoon workflow needs more than image generation
Traditional webtoon production is hard because every episode combines writing, drawing, colouring, layout, continuity, and platform formatting. LlamaGen brings those tasks into one visual storytelling workflow.
Characters drift between panels
Carry character cues through the prompt, use reference-style descriptions, and regenerate weaker shots until faces, outfits, silhouettes, and expressions stay recognisable.
Full-colour weekly updates burn creators out
Draft multiple scenes quickly, then spend human effort on story polish, lettering, redrawing key moments, and final release decisions.
Platform export rules are easy to miss
Plan image width, slices, section height, file size, and format before upload so the final episode is easier to prepare for WEBTOON, Tapas, or your own site.
Result quality comparison
Generic images look good until the story needs continuity
A real webtoon page needs to hold character identity, panel rhythm, background continuity, and emotional pacing together. One weak panel can break the whole episode.
Characters change face between panels
Panel spacing feels random
The story beat is hard to follow
Generic one-shot output
Looks like separate images, not an episode
The panels may look colourful, but character identity, hand details, scene continuity, and reading flow quickly fall apart.
Inconsistent character face
Messy panel rhythm
Weak background continuity

Publishing specifications
Create with WEBTOON and Tapas requirements in mind
Creators want to know whether an AI webtoon draft can move into a real export workflow. These specs help you plan width, slice height, file size, format, and mobile readability before you download or upload.
WEBTOON CANVAS
- Format episode slices within 800px wide and up to 1280px tall.
- Supported episode image formats include JPG, JPEG, and PNG.
- Keep each image under 2MB and the full episode upload within the current total file size limit.
Tapas
- Tapas comic episode images use a 940px-wide page size.
- Static PNG and JPG uploads have no fixed height limit; GIF uploads are limited to 1000px tall.
- Keep each episode file under 10MB and preview the comic on desktop and mobile before publishing.
A practical first episode often lands around 40–60 panels after revisions, depending on genre and pacing.
Use 400–800px breathing space for emotional beats and 4 or more blank sections when the story needs a scene transition.
Key AI webtoon creator features
Create in manhwa, manga, western comic, or custom styles
Choose the visual direction that suits the episode: polished Korean webtoon colour, black-and-white manga, American comic energy, romance drama, fantasy action, thriller mood, or a custom look for your own series.
What the AI webtoon generator should handle
These are the pieces that turn the page from a thin feature page into a genuinely useful creator resource.
Vertical panel rhythm
Compose panels for scroll pacing, pauses, reveals, impact frames, and mobile-first reading.
Consistent cast direction
Keep character identity, wardrobe cues, face shape, and emotional beats easier to review across panels.
Scene and background continuity
Carry locations, lighting, props, and atmosphere across a sequence instead of restarting every image.
Episode export planning
Plan file format, slice height, image width, compression, and destination platform before download.
Genre-specific styles
Draft romance, fantasy, action, thriller, slice-of-life, school drama, comedy, or manhwa-inspired episodes.
Regeneration loop
Redraw weak panels, improve expressions, strengthen pacing, and create alternate shots for key moments.
Pitch and review assets
Use webtoon pages as concept proofs for collaborators, clients, communities, and early audience testing.
Creator-friendly starting point
Give non-artists, writers, and small teams a faster way to test whether a story works visually.
Text-to-webtoon generation
Turn scripts into vertical comic scenes
Enter a story idea, script, or scene description and generate characters, backgrounds, panel flow, and webtoon-style compositions. Use the first draft to find the strongest story beats before final polish.
Publish-ready review workflow
Share, pitch, revise, and prepare episodes
Use generated webtoon pages for story pitches, social previews, early fan feedback, personal sites, or platform prep. Review platform rules, add lettering, and refine the final images before release.

Approved run with original files
Verified vertical delivery
Read a complete Webtoon delivery, not a cropped demo
The same original chapter used for manga and Western comic delivery was independently composed as a 12-beat mobile-first Webtoon with one continuous high-resolution strip, PDF, and CBZ.
Open the original image at full resolution, read the 12-unit PDF, or inspect the canonical evidence page for the source chapter, character bible, format plan, first-review result, evidence hash, and known defects.

Twelve story beats became one 22,150-pixel scroll
Four recurring characters carry the same chapter through a top-to-bottom reading sequence delivered as one 1200 × 22150 PNG, a 12-unit PDF, and a CBZ archive.

All 36 panels across the three-format study passed first review; the Webtoon subset was retained in full for final delivery.
Known limitation
Several beats use a split composition inside one image, and dialogue is typeset in caption cards instead of expressive speech balloons.

This case proves one completed vertical-format delivery. It does not claim the still-pending four-week Webtoon cadence benchmark, and it is not a guarantee for every input.
