What's New — Product Updates & Changelog
Every improvement to RecapManga in one place: new creator tools, better scripts, video rendering, and more. Updated with every release.
Live Action, and Chinese Anime by name
A new look in the Originals style picker: Live Action, photoreal cinema with real people and real light, on the same cast-first rail as every drawn style. The Chinese animation look is now labelled Chinese Anime (its proper name, donghua, sits in the caption), so it is easier to find.
- Fifteen looks in all, from anime, manhwa and manga to cyberpunk, noir, watercolor, stop-motion and now live action
- Your approved cast still anchors every shot: in Live Action, a character's design sheet reads as a casting lookbook of one person
- Pick the look once per project; every step follows it
Originals Studio is open to everyone
The second studio is out of the waiting room and on every account. Open Originals from your dashboard, paste a chapter you wrote, approve your cast, and watch it become an anime, manhwa or manga chapter with performed voices and a finished cut.
- A short tour the first time you open the studio, so you know the eight steps before you spend anything
- Ink packs on sale inside the studio: no subscription, Ink never expires, and every step is priced on its button
- Pick the pace of your chapter once: a narrated script for recap-style videos, or the full script performed by your cast
- Shots, the Cut and the Screen share one numbering, so shot 3 is shot 3 everywhere
- Export the finished chapter as a video, or as an editor project for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
Originals Studio, early access: write it, watch it
A second studio pointed the other way. Originals turns the chapter you write into the chapter you watch: it reads your script, builds the world, casts your characters with consistent designed looks you approve, stages every shot, performs the voices and cuts a finished video. In anime, manhwa or manga style, and entirely yours to publish.
- Cast Memory keeps every character on model, chapter after chapter
- One human gate: nothing is drawn until you approve the cast
- Narrator or full-cast voice performance, timed to each moment
- Pay as you go with Ink credits when packs open at launch; no subscription
- Early access seats open in waves. Sign up free to be in line
Creator Cut — your script, sharpened for the mic
One click rewrites your draft into a fast, punchy spoken voice — roughly a third of the length, tuned to your project's genre, and ready to record with your commentary. Your original draft stays untouched and keeps powering continuity for future chapters.
- Voice presets: Auto (matches your genre), Power Fantasy, Romance & Drama, Dark & Gritty, Comedy & Chill
- Chapter 1 automatically gets an extra-strong opening hook
- Copy or download as .txt, regenerate any time
Video — from voiced chapter to finished recap video
Chapters with a script and a Voice Studio narration can now render a finished 16:9 recap video (1080p MP4): scenes cut to your narration, smooth manhwa-style panning motion, your voiceover embedded. Everything renders in your own browser — nothing is uploaded, and it's included with every plan.
- Narration-synced scenes — each page holds the screen exactly while it's narrated
- Prefer your own edit? Export an Editor Project instead: scene stills, narration audio and a pre-cut timeline for Premiere Pro & DaVinci Resolve
- Downloads as a b-roll draft — add your commentary before publishing
- Free for now on every plan (1 mana per render without one) — one render per chapter; pricing may evolve as the feature matures

Clearer pricing, honest promos
The pricing page now shows the launch discount directly on the A-Class and S-Class cards, and the $5 Small Mana Potion — the easiest way to try RecapManga — moved front and center. What you see on a card is exactly what you pay.
Dashboard refresh
Chapter status is now honest and calm: archived chapters show as Archived with a clear explanation of our 12-hour source-panel retention (your scripts are always safe), instead of alarming red warnings. Empty tabs now explain what to do next, and your plan status bar always shows the one action that helps you most.
Fair-use check & clearer policies
A one-time confirmation before first using each creative tool keeps every creator aligned with our fair-use guidelines, and our Terms and Copyright Policy now spell out how RecapManga is built to respect rights holders — panel limits, 12-hour retention, and rendering that happens entirely on your device.
Manage your subscription in-app
Upgrade, downgrade, cancel, or resume your plan directly from Settings — plus a full purchase history. No support emails needed.
New landing experience + dark mode
A completely redesigned homepage, and a proper dark/light theme toggle across the site. Your eyes, our treat.
SRT subtitles, delivered automatically
Generated subtitles now download automatically the moment they're ready — no more waiting on the page.
Smarter character detection
The OCR pipeline got a significant upgrade to character recognition, so speaker assignment lands on the right character more often — especially in busy panels.
Bigger chapters for S-Class
S-Class creators can now upload up to 25 panels per chapter (20 on A-Class), covering longer chapters in a single pass.
