What Is a Webtoon Layout Generator?

A webtoon layout generator is a free online tool that creates vertical-scroll panel templates for digital comics. Instead of designing every page from scratch, you get a tall blank strip filled with panels in authentic webtoon proportions, ready to print or drop straight into your art app for sketching, inking, and colouring.

This vertical comic layout maker is built for webtoon artists, webcomic creators, and indie storytellers publishing on Webtoon, Tapas, Lezhin, Manta, or self-hosted sites. Choose a preset like Action, Romance, Slice of Life, or Thriller, set the panel count, and generate a clean episode template in seconds.

How to Generate a Webtoon Layout

  1. Pick a preset: Action for dynamic pacing, Romance for soft panels, Slice of Life for even rhythm, Thriller for tense contrast.
  2. Set the panel count (3 to 30). Most short webtoon episodes use 10 to 20 panels, longer chapters use 30 plus.
  3. Adjust height variation. Low for uniform panels, high for dramatic short-and-tall contrast.
  4. Toggle 2-column splits and splash panels. Splits create side-by-side parallel moments. Splash panels are larger panels for impact beats.
  5. Set the canvas width. 800 px is the Webtoon standard, 720 px for Tapas, 690 px for Lezhin, or 1080 px for HD.
  6. Adjust gutter (vertical space between panels) and side margins. Webtoons use larger gutters than print manga to create a deliberate scroll-pause rhythm.
  7. Click Generate for a new random layout. Hit it again until you like the result.
  8. Download as a PNG (raster, ready for raster apps) or SVG (vector, scales infinitely).

Webtoon Layout Presets

Action

High height variation, larger gutters, and splash panels for impact beats. Perfect for battle webtoons, sports, and high-energy storytelling.

Romance

Generous panel sizes with moderate variation and soft pacing. Tuned for emotional moments, character close-ups, and slow-burn romance scenes.

Slice of Life

Low variation, even panel rhythm, comfortable gutters. The default for everyday scenes, comedy beats, and conversation-heavy chapters.

Thriller

Dramatic height contrast between panels, tight gutters in some places, splash reveals in others. Builds tension through pacing alone.

Standard Webtoon Canvas Sizes

Different webtoon platforms have different recommended canvas widths. Here is the cheat sheet:

PlatformWidth (px)Max episode height (px)Notes
Webtoon (Naver / Line)800~16000 per sliceThe industry default. Long episodes split into multiple uploads.
Tapas720No hard limitSlightly narrower than Webtoon.
Lezhin690No hard limitKorean platform, narrower frame.
Manta800~16000Subscription platform, same as Webtoon.

Webtoon Pacing: Why Vertical Scroll Changes Everything

Webtoons read differently from print manga or Western comics. Readers scroll continuously down on a phone or tablet, so the artist controls pacing through panel height and the white space between panels (the gutter). A short panel feels fast. A tall panel feels slow. A big white gutter creates a beat of silence before the next panel lands. Mastering this rhythm is the core skill of webtoon storytelling, and good layout templates make it intentional rather than accidental.

The generator builds this rhythm in automatically. Variation controls how dramatic the contrast is between fast and slow panels, while the gutter setting tunes the overall reading speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What canvas width should I use for Webtoon?

The official Webtoon (Naver / Line Webtoon) canvas width is 800 px. Tapas uses 720 px, Lezhin uses 690 px, and Manta uses 800 px. For HD self-hosted sites or Patreon, 1080 px works well on high-DPI displays.

How long should a webtoon episode be?

Most professional webtoon episodes run between 60 and 80 panels, which translates to roughly 10000 to 16000 px of total height. Shorter episodes (30 to 50 panels) work for daily strips. Webtoon's upload limit is around 16000 px per slice, so longer episodes are split into multiple uploads.

What is the difference between webtoon and manga layouts?

Manga uses fixed pages (typically 148 × 210 mm B5 size) read right-to-left in two-page spreads. Webtoons use one continuous vertical strip read top-to-bottom by scrolling on a phone. Webtoon panels are mostly single-column with much larger gutters, while manga panels are tightly packed in complex grids on each page.

Can I print these webtoon layouts?

Yes. Download as PNG and print at the original pixel dimensions, or download as SVG and scale to any print size. The dimensions are in pixels (digital-first) rather than millimetres, so if you want print output set the canvas width to a print-friendly value like 2480 px (A4 width at 300 DPI).

What is a splash panel in a webtoon?

A splash panel is an oversized panel that takes up significantly more vertical space than surrounding panels, used for big visual moments: an establishing shot, a character reveal, or a dramatic climax. Splash panels slow the scroll and create emphasis. Use them at most once or twice per episode.

Does the generator work for Tapas, Lezhin, and Manta?

Yes. Use the Quick widths buttons to switch between 800 px (Webtoon / Manta), 720 px (Tapas), 690 px (Lezhin), or 1080 px (HD). All other layout settings work the same across platforms.

Can I import the layout into Clip Studio Paint or Procreate?

Yes. SVG works in Clip Studio Paint, Illustrator, and Affinity Designer with editable per-panel vector layers. PNG works in Procreate, Photoshop, Krita, and Medibang as a raster background layer to draw on.

Does it upload my work to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. The layout is generated client-side in JavaScript and rendered as SVG. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked.

Can I use these layouts commercially?

Yes. The layouts are blank panel templates with no copyrighted content. You own anything you draw inside them. Use the templates for self-published webtoons, Patreon content, client work, commercial webcomics, and anything else.

Why are webtoon gutters bigger than manga gutters?

Webtoons rely on the white space between panels for pacing. Because readers scroll continuously, a large gutter creates a deliberate pause before the next panel lands. Print manga, read in two-page spreads, packs panels tightly to fit more story per page. The two formats have different pacing rules.
