System Requirements
Recommended hardware is a modern desktop or laptop GPU with 8 GB of VRAM. NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are all supported. Bigger cards unlock heavier modules and bigger projects.
Operating system
- OS: Windows 10 build 1809+ (64-bit) or Windows 11
- CPU: Modern x86-64 (2013+ Intel / 2018+ AMD)
- RAM: 8 GB minimum, 16 GB recommended
- Disk: 50 GB free
Recommended GPU
- VRAM: 8 GB or more
- Smooth live translation, video subtitles with the standard quality preset, batch manga translation, full AI browser experience.
- Any modern NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel GPU with 8 GB VRAM qualifies.
VRAM tiers
| GPU VRAM | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| 8 GB Recommended | Recommended baseline. Live translation, video subtitles, screenshot translation, batch translation. |
| 12 GB | Anime image generation, full-quality video subtitles, larger Story Changer projects. |
| 16 GB | Heavy parallel use — speech, translation, and image generation running together. |
| 20+ GB | Maximum-resolution anime generation, top-tier translation models, GPU-accelerated UI. |
GPU vendor support
NVIDIA
RecommendedFastest path. Full GPU acceleration for translation, speech, and image generation.
AMD
Supported and works on every module — but typically slower than an equivalent NVIDIA card.
Intel
Basic acceleration. Suitable for casual use. Heavy modules need an 8 GB+ NVIDIA or AMD GPU.
Less than 8 GB VRAM?
The app still launches and translates — but with reduced quality and slower throughput. Casual live translation, screenshot mode, and small batch jobs work, while heavier modules (image generation, full-quality video subtitles) need a card with 8 GB or more. We strongly recommend 8 GB VRAM for the full experience.
