Creating a webcomic series

Try the same fields as the live Publishing tools — below is an offline preview that never sends data to Inkstra.

Where to create (for real)

Sign in and open Publishing, then Create series → New series. The interactive preview below matches that form but stays entirely in your browser.

Interactive preview — Works entirely in your browser. No uploads, no API calls, no data leaves your device.

Create new series

Explore the same fields as the live New series form in Publishing. Values here are not saved.

These show up on your series page and in search.

Same toggles as the live form (catalog review still applies on the real site).

Catalog review: New series stay hidden until staff approves them. This preview doesn't contact servers — we're just showing the fields.

Make series public when approvedAge-restricted (18+)Turn this on when the series is meant for adults—for example nudity, sexual content, graphic violence, self-harm, or strong language. Nudity and sexual content can appear in your pages if this is on and those uploads also use the Sexual themes warning. Posters and thumbnails still need to stay all-ages. Sexual or nude depictions of minors, or characters who look underage, are never allowed. We may still take down fetish content if it crosses a line. Repeatedly leaving this unlabeled can get the series or account removed. See Terms for the full rules.

AI-generated art and writing are not allowed on Inkstra

The live form enforces this; this box is a reminder for readers of the guide.

Pick 1–2 (same chip UI as production).

Try selecting one or two genres — the real form requires that.

Series cover *

Choose a local file to see how preview works. The image never uploads from this guide page.

Keep your poster all-ages

This image still shows up in discovery, search, and your series page even when the series is age-restricted, so keep it appropriate for all ages—no nudity, sexual imagery, graphic gore, or offensive text in the art. Save mature visuals for labeled comic pages.

Quick reference

Format — Webtoon (vertical scroll), Manga (RTL), or Comic (LTR) drives the reader layout. For prose novels, choose Creating a webnovel instead.
Genres — pick 1–2 from the platform taxonomy for discovery.
Cover — required; all-ages safe in discovery (even if age-restricted).
Age-restricted (18+) — turn this on when the series is for adults. Nudity and sexual content can appear in pages if those uploads also use Sexual themes; covers stay all-ages. Minors and underage-looking characters are never allowed. See Terms.
Catalog review — new series may stay hidden until staff approves; you can still work on uploads.

Next step

When your series exists, add uploads from Publishing → Webcomic content uploads.
