Is ZIP or CBZ still supported?

Yes. ZIP and CBZ remain useful when your chapter is already packaged. The main change is positioning: loose multi-image upload is the primary creator workflow.

Should I test one page first?

Yes. Test one representative page in the manga colorizer, then move to the batch page when style and readability are acceptable.

What should I check before export?

Check page order, clean line art, readable bubbles, character color stability, and whether any page should be rerun individually.

Do I need to create a ZIP or CBZ first?

No. Loose images are the primary batch workflow. ZIP and CBZ are still useful when a chapter is already packaged, and ZIP export keeps finished pages organized after processing.

Do I need color guides for every page?

No. Start with black-and-white pages, review the first-page preview, and confirm the style or palette before the full batch starts. For important work, test one page and then a short sequence first.

What should I do before a paid or client batch?

Test one representative page, then process a short scene. Confirm page order, text readability, character colors, credit estimate, and export quality before submitting the full chapter.

Can I use the result commercially?

VividManga can support creator and team workflows, but you should only process pages you own or have permission to use. Do not upload, republish, or sell colorized manga if you do not have the rights to the source material.

What are the main limits to check?

Check low-resolution scans, tiny text, heavy screentones, broken page order, and recurring character colors. AI coloring is useful, but every production workflow still needs a review step before publishing.
