Need a hand with MangaLoft? Here’s how to get help and answers to a few common questions.
Looking for how to do something? Learn MangaLoft has a first-page walk-through and a page for each tool.
MangaLoft’s brush and eraser need a stylus. On iPad, draw directly on the canvas with Apple Pencil — a finger pans and zooms, so a resting hand never leaves a mark. On Mac, use a pen tablet (e.g. Wacom) — a mouse or trackpad drag pans the canvas instead of painting, so a stray click can’t leave a line.
Everything else works with a mouse: paths and bezier curves, text, balloons, screentones, selection, transform, frames and layers. So a Mac without a tablet can still lay out panels, ink with the path tool, letter, and tone.
Exporting needs MangaLoft Plus, an optional subscription (1 year or 3 months) that covers every export — for screen or for print, one page or the whole document. If your subscription ends, your documents stay yours: you can still open and view them.
MangaLoft Plus is billed through your Apple Account. To see or change it:
Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Your documents are stored on your device, and in your own iCloud if you’ve enabled it. We have no access to your work — see our Privacy Policy.
On iPad, tap the people button at the top of the document browser, then open the Collaborators tab.
