Platemaker

Platemaker prepares and slices artwork for vertical-scroll comics — the format commonly called a webtoon.

Point it at your exported pages, put them in order, and it joins them into one continuous strip, scales it and cuts it into upload-ready panels.

Describe the page sizes you draw at as canvas profiles and it does more: each page is matched by its exact pixel size and its margins are cropped away before it joins the strip. For profiles that use margins it also generates a transparent template, so you can see in your drawing app exactly where those margins begin.
