What Is a Webtoon?

How it works

A webtoon is a digital comic designed to be read by scrolling top to bottom on a phone, instead of flipping pages like a traditional comic book. Webtoons started in South Korea in the early 2000s and became the dominant comic format on mobile devices worldwide.

The word "webtoon" means web plus cartoon. Today it usually refers to the vertical scroll format. Webtoons are typically full color and feature dramatic vertical pacing. Long action sequences, tall reaction shots, and dialogue stacked top to bottom.

If you've read anything on the Webtoon app, Tapas, or Tappytoon, you've read webtoons. And if you've ever wanted to make your own, Toon Prompter is the fastest way to go from idea to finished chapter.

Toon Prompter is for fans first. If you grew up reading manhwa on the train, sketching characters in your notebook, or rewriting endings in your head, this is the tool we wish we had. Bring the idea, we'll handle the panels.

Frequently asked

Is a webtoon the same as a manhwa?
Almost. Manhwa is the broader term for Korean comics. Webtoon refers specifically to the vertical scroll digital format that became popular in Korea. Most modern manhwa are published as webtoons.
Are webtoons the same as manga?
No. Manga is Japanese, traditionally black and white, and read right to left in pages. Webtoons are Korean style, usually full color, and read by scrolling vertically.
Where can I read webtoons?
The Webtoon app (Naver Webtoon), Tapas, Tappytoon, Lezhin Comics, and Kakao Webtoon are the major platforms. Most have free chapters and paid premium tiers.
How do I make my own webtoon?
Traditionally: a writer, an artist, and many months of work. With Toon Prompter: a single sentence and a few minutes of generation time.
