How do I download the app and create a free account?

Search for "WEBTOON" in the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) and install the free app. Open it and tap "Sign Up" to create a free account with your email address, or sign in with your Google or Apple account. You can also tap "Continue as Guest" to browse without registering, but creating an account lets you subscribe to series and track what you have read.

How do I browse by genre to find something you like?

From the main screen, tap the "Discover" tab or browse the featured sections. Tap "Browse by Genre" to see all available categories. Romance and fantasy are among the most popular, but there are also thrillers, action series, horror, coming-of-age stories, and many others. Tap on any series cover to read its description and the first episode to decide if you enjoy it before committing to follow it.

How do I read a comic in the scroll format?

Tap the first episode of any series to open it. The comic loads as a long vertical strip — scroll down with your finger to read through the panels, just like you would scroll through a social media feed. The artwork is designed to fill your phone screen naturally. At the end of each episode, you will see buttons to go to the next episode or return to the series page.

How do I subscribe to get notified about new episodes?

When you find a series you enjoy, tap the "Subscribe" button on the series page. This adds the series to your library and sends you a notification when new episodes are published. Many WEBTOON series publish on a weekly schedule, often on the same day each week. Your subscribed series will appear in the "My Library" tab so you can quickly check for updates.

How do I use fast pass for early access (optional)?

Some popular series offer Fast Pass, which lets you read new episodes before they become free. Each Fast Pass episode costs a small number of "Coins," which you purchase inside the app. You do not have to use Fast Pass at all — every episode eventually becomes free to read after a waiting period, usually one to a few weeks. Fast Pass is purely optional for readers who cannot wait for new episodes.

WEBTOON is a free app that hosts thousands of comic series and manga from creators all over the world. Unlike traditional comic books, WEBTOON comics are designed to be read on a phone screen — you scroll down through vertical panels instead of flipping through pages. This format makes them very comfortable to read on a phone without zooming in and out.

Most comics on WEBTOON are completely free to read. Some popular series offer early access to new episodes for a small fee through a feature called Fast Pass, but you can always read the same episodes for free a few weeks later. There is no subscription required and no credit card needed to browse and read the vast majority of content.

WEBTOON was originally created by the South Korean company Naver and became popular worldwide. Today it hosts creators from dozens of countries, and the content spans every genre imaginable — romance, fantasy, horror, thriller, science fiction, slice of life, action, and more.

Many WEBTOON series have developed enormous followings and some have even been adapted into TV shows and movies. The platform has a strong community of readers who comment on episodes and interact with creators directly.

Creating a free account lets you subscribe to series and get notified when new episodes drop, save your reading history, and leave comments. You can also read as a guest without an account if you prefer, though you will not be able to subscribe or save your place.
