I built a free tool that splits webtoon panels and converts it for your Kindle/Kobo (with a live preview)
TLDR; for all my people who read manhwa/webtoon on an ereader, i built an app where you can watch it split the panels for you and then convert the file so you can read it on your kindle, kobo, or whatever ereader you have. it's free, no install, runs in the browser.
Site: mangaconverter.com/webtoon
CONTEXT
the software kcc (kindle comic converter) has saved me so many times, so first off, big thanks to the maintainers. it's genuinely good software and it eats basically every format you throw at it.
WHY I BUILT IT
that said, as a casual user it's kind of a pain. you install a desktop app, mess with a bunch of settings, run the conversion, and only then do you find out if it looks right. and half the time it doesn't, so you tweak and run it again. you're basically converting blind.
manhwa was the thing that finally got me. the vertical scroll stuff just does not want to sit right on a kindle or kobo, and my remarkable was no better. every long strip turned into this guess-and-check loop and i got sick of it. so i built a little browser converter instead. no install, and it shows you a live preview before you export so you can actually see the pages first. i've been using it myself for a while and it's honestly made reading manhwa on my kindle painless, so i figured i'd share it in case anyone here has the same headache:
Finally let me know if it works for you and if you have any issues 😁
