FAQ.
What's the difference between manhwa, manga, and webtoon?+
Manhwa is Korean comic art, traditionally full-color and often published in a vertical-scroll format — which is also what "webtoon" refers to as a format. Manga is Japanese and traditionally black-and-white with a right-to-left page layout. On Gootaku, manhwa-style episodes use the Comic Maker's full-color Webtoon style, exported as a vertical strip.
How does manhwa creation work in Gootaku?+
Manhwa-style episodes are made in the Comic Maker: pick the full-color Webtoon style, generate the episode panel by panel, then export a Webtoon Strip (.png) that stacks every panel into one tall, mobile-friendly vertical image.
How do I get the dramatic manhwa color look?+
Describe the lighting and mood in each panel prompt — "neon-lit rain, cold blue rim light, tight close-up on her eyes" — and keep the shot list heavy on close-ups. The AI leans into saturated color and soft gradients when the prompt gives it a mood to render.
Can my manhwa lead stay consistent across episodes?+
Yes. Lock the character in Character Maker or upload a reference image, and every episode's panels are generated around the same face, hair, and wardrobe — essential for a long-running romance or revenge series.
Can I post my manhwa episode on other platforms?+
Yes. Panels export as image files, so you can upload them to WEBTOON Canvas, Tapas, or your own site, or publish the whole episode to Gootaku's Explore feed first to gather reactions.
