What is Comixon?

Comixon is an open-source, Windows-based software focused on allowing anyone to create digital comics and manga. Its intuitive interface and specialized toolset make comic creation accessible for novices while also providing all the advanced functionality expected from dedicated comic design applications.

At its core, Comixon provides users with robust comic page layout features. You're able to configure custom panel grids, gaps, shapes, and angles on each page while retaining full control over arrangement and flow. The software includes numerous vector drawing tools tailored towards comic art such as pens, pencils, shaders, shapes, and 3D objects. Text bubbles are integrated directly into the interface, enabling you to inset dialogue, narration, shouts, and whispers with precision.

Comixon empowers users with professional-grade typography control for lettering comic text. You have access to a database of high-quality comic book fonts while also being able to use your own system fonts. Styles like bold, italic, drop shadows, outlines, and more allow limitless customization and mimic traditional analog comic text. For coloring and shading finished pages, Comixon's layer system helps streamline and organize the illustration process.

Finally, the software enables full-featured comic export whether you intend to print a physical release or publish digitally. Pages and spreads can be exported to common image formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, and TIFF with professional preset configurations for resolution, compression, and color profiles. For digital distribution, Comixon can compile pages into reader-friendly CBZ/CBR files.
