Tapas closes platform and episode access at 23:59 PT. Content is not moved for you.
Tapas Newsfeed #272Work does not automatically go to Kakao Page or Kakao Webtoon.
Tapas Newsfeed #271This kit is for authors exporting series they own — not a reader downloader.
Who it’s foronce for unlimited series and episodes. One episode is free.
PricingThe problem
The platform is closing. Your series does not move itself.
There is no official packager that turns your episodes, pages, covers, and metadata into something you can upload elsewhere without a painful manual rebuild.
No structured creator export
Episodes, page images, covers, and series metadata are not handed to you as a clean, republishable package.
No move to Kakao or Webtoon
Tapas has said the catalog is not transferred to Kakao Page or Kakao Webtoon when the service shuts down.
Every destination wants a different canvas
Webtoon, GlobalComix, Substack, and a personal site each expect different sizes, folders, and metadata. Doing that by hand for every chapter does not scale.
How it works
Three steps, before March 31, 2027.
- Step 1
Collect the series you own
Download or gather the chapters, page images, covers, and titles for work you have the rights to. Read the Tapas announcement for the official shutdown terms.
- Step 2
Package and format
Drop your files and pick a destination. TapasExport groups series → episodes → pages, reads your episode notes, and resizes or slices every page to the destination’s exact size.
- Step 3
Republish where you want
Export a folder ready for Webtoon, GlobalComix, Substack, or your own site — without rebuilding every chapter from scratch.
The app
Package your series for its new home
Pick Webtoon Canvas, GlobalComix, Substack, or a clean archive. TapasExport resizes and slices your pages with your browser’s canvas, writes metadata.json and episodes.csv, and hands you a ready-to-upload ZIP. Only for work you own.
Drop your series folder, a ZIP, or page images
One folder per episode works best (Episode 1/page_01.png…). Add .txt, .json, or .html files for episode titles and notes. For creators moving their own work only — files never leave your device.
Free: 1 episode, up to 10 pages. Free plan
Under the hood
Packaged the way a publisher would expect.
TapasExport turns a creator’s own archive into destination-ready folders, images, and metadata — not a loose pile of episode images. Everything runs in your browser.
- Series → chapter → pageA predictable folder tree with covers, chapter titles, and page order intact.
- Auto resizePages can be fitted to common canvases such as Webtoon’s 800×1280 without a manual pass on every file.
- Metadata that travelsTitles, synopses, and creator credits ride along so you are not retyping every chapter.

# resized, named, and ready to uploadWhat you get
A package you can upload tomorrow.
Made for authors who need to leave Tapas with their own catalog in a shape other platforms already understand.
Series and chapter packaging
Episodes become a structured series folder with covers and page order.
Destination canvases
Automatic formatting and resizing for Webtoon, GlobalComix, Substack, or a site you control.
Metadata included
Titles, chapter lists, and creator credits are kept next to the art.
Pages and covers together
Interior pages and cover art are named and grouped so uploads are not a scavenger hunt.
Creator-owned work only
The kit is strictly for authors exporting series they own. It is not a pirate downloader.
You keep the files
Processing happens in your browser. You leave with a package on disk, not a new platform lock-in.

Leave with a package, not a pile.

Questions people actually ask
Need the official shutdown in writing? Read Tapas’s announcement.
Tapas Newsfeed #272When does Tapas shut down?
Access to the platform and to episodes ends on March 31, 2027 at 23:59 PT. See Newsfeed #272 and Newsfeed #271.
Will my comics be moved to Kakao Page or Webtoon?
No. Tapas has said the content is not transferred. If you want the work to live somewhere else, you have to take a copy you have the rights to and republish it yourself.
Is this for readers?
No. TapasExport is strictly for creators who own their work. It is not a tool for downloading other people’s comics or novels.
Do you need my Tapas password?
No. You gather files for series you own and open them here. We never sign into your Tapas account.
Which platforms can I republish to?
The kit is built to format and resize for Webtoon, GlobalComix, Substack, or your own site. You still create the destination account and upload yourself.
Are my pages uploaded to you?
No. Resizing, slicing, and packaging run in this browser tab with HTML canvas. Your pages never leave your device.
Is this affiliated with Tapas or Kakao?
No. TapasExport is an independent tool by Cedano Labs LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Tapas Media, Kakao, or Webtoon. Those names are used only to describe the shutdown and the destinations creators already use.
What do I get for $19?
Unlimited packaging for every series and episode you own, for every destination preset. One payment, no subscription. Checkout is handled by Stripe and Pro unlocks right after payment (restore it with your checkout email).
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Press “Try a sample series” or drop your own files: one episode (up to 10 pages) is free for any destination.
Move your series before March 31, 2027.
