Library
A library that thinks with you
Import your comics once and enjoy a beautiful home for your entire collection — with covers, progress, favorites, and rich details for every series. Link a folder on your device or in the cloud.
- Cloud library — Google Drive & more Point a library at a folder on Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox via Android’s folder picker. Browse your whole collection remotely, see cloud vs downloaded status on every cover, and download only what you want to read — then enjoy it offline.
- Komga server — your self-hosted collection Connect a self-hosted Komga server (NAS, Raspberry Pi, home PC) as a library. Browse it remotely, download issues on demand, and read them offline — with two-way progress sync (Premium) so you continue right where you left off, on any device or the Komga web reader.
- Smart organization Series group themselves naturally, or arrange everything your way with custom sections.
- Multiple libraries (Premium) Keep separate collections — manga, Marvel, backups — each with its own folder, sections, and sort. Switch instantly without rescanning.
- Premium stats hub Track your habits and progress right from the top of your library.
- Find anything instantly Search your whole collection as you type, in card or list view — however you prefer to browse.
- One tap, full control Favorite, mark as read, personalize your backdrop, open details, or organize — all in one place.
Reader
Immersive reading, your way
Lose yourself in full-screen reading. Zoom in on every detail, move through issues effortlessly, and choose the layout that fits each comic — Western, manga, or anything in between.
Vertical
Turn pages with a vertical swipe — one full page at a time, ideal for manga and tall single-page layouts.
- Natural up/down page turns with snap between pages
- Same zoom and progress ring as horizontal reading
Dual
The best of both worlds — move through your comic horizontally or vertically, without ever changing modes.
- Freedom to read the way each issue demands
- Great for collections that mix formats and layouts
Webtoon
Pages stack vertically for uninterrupted scrolling — the flow webtoon and long-strip readers expect. Pinch to zoom on the page under your finger.
- Continuous scroll through the whole chapter
- Guided View steps panel-by-panel, then scrolls to the next page
Guided view
Follow the story panel by panel, in the order the artist intended — ideal for dense pages and complex layouts.
- Never lose your place on action-packed spreads
- Pause anytime to take in the full page, then dive back in
- Zoom in on every detail
- Track your progress at a glance
- Flow seamlessly into the next issue
- Jump to any page in seconds
