Exporting webtoons

Knowledge Base / Exporting & Publishing /Exporting webtoons

Webtoons are made to be read by scrolling straight down on a phone, one continuous strip rather than separate pages. Because of that, they export differently from print comics — there's no spine and no print PDF, just the formats vertical-scroll platforms and websites expect.

Build your webtoon in Graphic Mode using the webtoon (vertical) layouts, then head to Publish & Export when you're ready.

Your two export options

  • ZIP of image slices — your webtoon split into numbered images, sized for upload to vertical-scroll platforms like WEBTOON or Tapas. The numbering keeps the slices in the right reading order so the strip reassembles correctly.
  • HTML viewer — a responsive, infinite-scroll web page you can host yourself. It's a ready-made reading experience: open it on any device and scroll, no special software needed.

Which one should you use?

  • Uploading to a webtoon platform? Use the ZIP of image slices and follow that platform's upload steps.
  • Hosting it on your own site or sharing a self-contained reading page? Use the HTML viewer.

Good to know

  • Webtoons are digital-only. There's no spine or print PDF, because there are no physical pages — see Export formats explained for the print options that do exist for other formats.
  • Design vertically from the start. Webtoon layouts are tall and continuous; building with the right layout in Graphic Mode means your art flows naturally when sliced.
  • Check the reading order. Because slices are numbered, a page built out of order can read out of order — preview before you upload.

Common pitfalls

  • Trying to find a print PDF for a webtoon — there isn't one by design.
  • Using standard page layouts instead of webtoon (vertical) layouts, which don't slice cleanly into a continuous scroll.
  • Uploading slices to a platform without checking its specific image-size and file rules first.
