Choosing a comic size

When you create a series or a standalone issue, you pick a size that defines the page aspect ratio. You can't change the size of an existing issue once pages have been generated, so pick deliberately.


The four sizes


Standard — the classic American comic-book proportion (roughly 2:3, taller than wide). Best for superhero, sci-fi, and action stories. This is the default if you're not sure.


Manga — Japanese manga proportion (also taller than wide, but slightly different aspect). Pairs well with the Manga and Manhwa art styles. Reads right-to-left when you want it to (configure in the reader).


Graphic novel — wider, more cinematic page proportions, suited for longer-form storytelling and prestige formats. Good for slice-of-life, drama, and atmospheric stories.


Webcomic — vertical scroll-friendly proportions, optimized for reading on a phone. Each "page" is a tall single column. Great for Webtoon-style stories.


How size interacts with art style


You can pair any art style with any size — manga style on standard pages, manhwa on webcomic, watercolor on graphic novel. Size controls the page shape; style controls the visual feel.


When to pick each


  • Telling a Western superhero / sci-fi / action story? → Standard.
  • Reading on a phone, vertical scroll? → Webcomic.
  • Long, atmospheric story you'd put in a real book? → Graphic novel.
  • Manga or manhwa story for traditional reading? → Manga.


Print-quality note


Generated pages are sized for screen reading. If you're planning to print, you may need to upscale the images at print time — they're roughly 2K resolution, which works for digital but is tight for high-DPI print. Most users read on screen, so this rarely matters.
