Overview

You can use GenToon in a web browser on your computer and in the iOS and Android apps. Sign in with the same account, and a comic you started on the web is waiting for you in the app, and anything you make in the app can be polished on the web. A few features are web-only, though. For example, the SNS Auto tab, where you post your comics to Instagram and Threads, is only on the left side of the Studio on the web.

What’s shared across your account

  • Your projects (the comics you’ve made)
  • Your characters, their looks, and your worlds
  • Your credit balance and plan benefits
  • Your Community profile and published posts

Getting the app

  1. On your phone, open the Get the GenToon app page and tap the App Store (iPhone and iPad) or Google Play (Android) button to install it.

  2. If you’ve opened the GenToon website in your phone’s browser, you can also tap Download on the banner at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Open the app and sign in the same way you do on the web.

Credits you buy in the app go to the same account, so you can use them on the web too.

  • Buying credits: on the web, use the Pricing page. In the app, use in-app purchase (Credits).
  • Signing up for a membership: only on the Pricing page on the web, not in the app. Your benefits apply in the app as well.

FAQ

Can I edit a comic on the web that I made in the app?
With the same account, comics made in the app open on the web too. On the web, open Projects from the profile menu in the top-right corner, then click the project’s card to open it in the Studio.
Can I sign up for a membership in the app?
Memberships can’t be bought in the app; there you can only buy credits. Memberships are only available on the Pricing page of the GenToon website, and once you sign up, your benefits apply in the app too.
Are credits bought in the app kept separate from credits bought on the web?
Credits bought on the web and in the app go into one balance you can use anywhere. Whether you buy them on the Pricing page on the web or in the app, they’re added to the same account as purchased credits.
