Exporting webtoons (EX only)

Webtoon is a spindle belt-shaped manga or comic, just like a film reel, for readers to scroll through to read the manga or comic. You can create a very long webtoon, which readers can scroll through and read to enjoy without clicking to see the next page. It works wonderfully for a platform such as Twitter, where only a limited number of images can be attached to one post.

The following screenshot shows a style difference between an analog story manga and a webtoon:

However, if it's getting too long, it also becomes difficult to handle. You can't check the contents in thumbnails, and it is not easy to jump to a specific spot to edit. The best way is to create a B5 size manga page and then put a few pages together to make a belt shape.

In this section, we will learn how to export files as webtoons easily with the help of Clip Studio Paint EX.
