Welcome to Jokai
What Jokai is, who it is for, and how the documentation is organized.
Quick start
From sign-up to your first translated page in about fifteen minutes.
Key concepts
Projects, chapters, pages, pipeline stages, credits — the vocabulary in one page.
Importing a chapter
The Import Studio: files, ordering, reslicing and translation context.
Guides
The workflows you will use every day.
The pipeline explained
How OCR, correction, translation and inpainting chain together — statuses, credits and retries.
The editor
Canvas, modes, tools, inpainting and layouts — the complete reference for the visual editor.
Inpainting & masks
How the pipeline cleans artwork, and how to mask and preserve zones by hand.
Typography & effects
Fonts, strokes, vertical typesetting, gradients and reformulations — make it look typeset.
Glossaries & consistency
Lock names and terms across a series — automatic detection, context groups, QA.
Review & QA checks
The QA panel scans every page for errors — then project checklists, comments and a formal sign-off get the chapter ready to ship.
Collaboration & review
Team access, share links, comments — and the activity & notification trails that keep everyone in sync.
Exports & final renders
Export translations, bundles — and server-rendered final images.
Editor power tools
Re-clean cleaned pages without losing your kept zones, find & replace across a chapter, and restore any of the last 20 versions of a page.
Setup
Make Jokai yours: providers, storage, presets.
Translation providers & BYOK
Choose how you translate: your own API key, the Jokai model catalog or DeepL — plus custom prompts and AI OCR correction.
Style presets
Save a block’s look once — fonts, strokes, glow, warp — and apply or propagate it everywhere.
Translation memory
Reuse past translations — exact matches auto-fill for free, fuzzy ones are suggested.
Bring your own storage
Store pages, cleaned images and renders in your own S3-compatible bucket.
Reference
Look it up: API, webhooks, credits, FAQ.
API overview
Keys, one-shot translate and the full pipeline over HTTP — with the interactive reference at /api.
Webhooks
Receive pipeline events over HTTPS — signed deliveries, retries and auto-disable.
Credits & billing
What consumes credits, how BYOK makes translation free, and how renewals work.
FAQ
Short answers to the questions we hear most — engines, credits, exports, teams.
