Keep your drawing app — leave the production to LitMemo
LitMemo is the production hub beside your art tool: worldbuilding, storyboards, lettering and progress in one workflow, with art you upload or generate with AI.
Get started nowLitMemo's manga production tools work beside Clip Studio Paint or whichever drawing app you use. Lay out the storyboard, place dialogue and track progress in one place, with each panel's characters linked to the profiles you wrote. Start a page from a layout, or write its plot and let AI draft the panels. For the art, draw in your own app and upload panel by panel, or generate each panel with AI. When the pages are done, export a layered PSD, a finished PDF or a CBZ archive.
"Character notes live in my docs, the storyboard in one app, the artwork in my drawing software — change one thing and I have to sync all three by hand..."
The tedious part of making manga is often everything around the drawing: tying character notes, storyboard, dialogue, progress and art files together. A production hub keeps them in one place and remembers your story.
Manga production: the core features
A production hub where characters and storyboard stay in sync
The storyboard editor keeps panels, dialogue, camera angles and page layouts in one place, and each panel's characters are linked to the profiles you built in LitMemo. Update a character's appearance and the next panel you draw follows it.
- Storyboard editor: panels, dialogue, camera, layout, spreads
- Start from a layout, or write the plot and let AI draft the panels
- Dialogue lettering placed right on the page
Two paths for the art: upload your own or AI-generate
Draw in the app you already use and upload panel by panel, or generate each panel with AI, and mix both freely. LitMemo fits the result into the layout, overlays the dialogue and composes the finished page.
- Upload your own art panel by panel
- Or generate each panel with AI, guided by your poses and costumes
- Page composition joins art and dialogue into a finished page
Progress, import and export
Import existing work from art files, scripts or rough thumbnails, and see each page's completion and production stage at a glance. Export a layered PSD to keep working in your drawing app, or a finished PDF or CBZ when the chapter is done.
- Smart import from art files, scripts or thumbnails
- Page completion and production stage at a glance
- Export layered PSD, PNG, finished PDF or CBZ
Have you run into this too?
「Character notes, storyboard and art files are scattered across three places and constantly synced by hand」
LitMemo is the production hub that ties characters, storyboard, dialogue and progress together — art comes in whether you upload it or generate it with AI — so changing one thing doesn't mean patching everywhere.
「You want to draw in Clip Studio, but you keep flipping back and forth to check your notes」
Every storyboard panel links to your character profiles and worldbuilding notes, keeping your references right beside you as you draw; upload panel by panel when you're done and it fits into the layout.
「You don't have time to draw every panel and want AI to lay down a base」
Write a page's plot, let AI draft and draw it, then choose which panels to refine by hand. Export a layered PSD and pick up in your own app.
The usual way vs LitMemo
| The usual way | LitMemo | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Yet another drawing app | The production hub for your drawing app |
| Link to your story notes | Each on its own, flip through notes by hand | Every panel linked to your characters |
| Art source | Locked to a single method | Upload your own or AI-generate, mix and match |
| Dialogue lettering | Handled in separate software | Placed inside the storyboard, editable in the PSD |
| Storyboard starting point | Start from a blank page | Smart import from images / script / storyboard images + templates |

Frequently asked questions
No. LitMemo works around your drawing software: it manages character notes, lays out the storyboard, places dialogue and tracks progress. Draw a panel, upload it, and it fits into the layout. Layered PSD export takes your pages back into Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop.
No. There are two paths for the art: draw in your own app and upload panel by panel, or generate each panel with AI — mix and match freely. AI is just an option, not a requirement.
Yes. Your characters and world live in the same place as the storyboard, so a novel and its manga share one cast. Each panel's characters link to the profiles you've already written.
Yes. Create a free account and start a manga book. The storyboard, dialogue lettering and uploading your own art are all there to try, and so is AI drawing with rough sketches and line art.
