MangaLoft 1.0 Launches for iPad and Mac With Panel Layout, Screentones, and Cloud Collaboration
Press Release November 6, 2026
Create manga pages with drawing, lettering, and editable shading effects, then work on the same story with collaborators through the cloud.
I want artists everywhere to tell the stories they care about. Whether a page reads left to right or right to left, MangaLoft should give them room to make it their own. Kaz Yoshikawa, Director

NEW YORK, NY, November 6, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Electricwoods LLC (Japan) and Digital Lynx Systems Inc. (Canada) announce the release of MangaLoft 1.0, a manga drawing app for iPad and Mac. Built around the manga page, MangaLoft brings panel layout, inking, screentones, lettering, and collaboration into one workspace.

Instead of beginning with a blank canvas, artists can divide a page into panels and draw within them. Panel frames can be fine-tuned as the page develops. Pressure-sensitive brushes support expressive inking with Apple Pencil on iPad or a pen tablet on Mac, with adjustable taper and stabilization.

MangaLoft includes dot and gradient screentones, speed lines, and focus lines. Artists can adjust a tone's shape after placing it. Speech balloons and tails can also be reshaped, while lettering tools support horizontal and vertical Japanese text, ruby characters, and outlined text.

For teams working in different locations, MangaLoft lets collaborators share a manuscript through the cloud. Artists check out pages or layers to divide the work and avoid overwriting one another. A reviewer can be invited to leave comments without drawing on the manuscript. The Workbench lets an artist focus on a single panel and continue working on it on another device.

MangaLoft is free to download, and drawing, page editing, and collaboration are available without a subscription. Exporting a finished page for screen or print requires MangaLoft Plus. Export options include PNG, TIFF, and PDF, with print settings such as bleed and registration marks.

MangaLoft 1.0 is available for iPad and Mac on the App Store. Learn more at mangaloft.org.
