A finished comic still needs preparation before it reaches a new audience. Pages need to work on different screens, translated dialogue needs to fit the artwork, and a release needs promotional material.

Panel brings publishing and promotion together to help your comics find readers.

Localisation

Publishing in another language involves more than translating a script. Dialogue needs to sound natural, lettering needs to remain readable, and translated text has to fit the space.

We’re developing localisation tools to help creators and publishers prepare other language editions within their comic project. The aim is to make translation faster and keep it connected to the page layout.

For an existing catalogue, localisation can open a route to new readers and opportunities.

Layouts for different screens

A page designed for print or desktop can become difficult to read on a phone. Scaling it down shrinks the lettering and speech bubbles.

Panel’s layout system lets you start with a main layout and adapt it for other screen sizes. Additional breakpoints inherit shared settings, while individual adjustments stay specific to each version.

You can change panel arrangement, lettering and speech bubble placement. Shared settings reduce repeated setup.

Promotional content from your comic

Once a release is ready, you need something to share.

With Panel’s Marketing Studio, you can use artwork from your comic project to prepare posts, reading previews, trailers or short stories.

For video, a timeline lets you arrange scenes, apply animation presets and add music and sound. You can prepare different formats for social media and reuse templates for later releases. The studio keeps this work connected to the comic.

Readership and sales in the same place

Panel brings readership and sales analytics together to help you understand your audience and follow how your titles perform. This helps you decide which releases to promote again, which parts of a catalogue to revisit and where to focus your next efforts.

The tools support an ongoing process: publish a title, promote it, review the response and adjust your approach.

We’re developing these tools with creators, publishers and readers. If you have a comic or catalogue you’d like to bring to Panel, tell us about your work. You can also join the waitlist for updates and early access.
