Questions
Is KZRS free? +
Yes. The app is free with 10 translated pages a day; editing, reading and exporting are not limited. A Supporter code removes the limit.
Do I need an API key? +
For cloud AI, yes: your own key from Google Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI or OpenRouter (Gemini has a free tier). Or run a local model with Ollama or LM Studio and no key is needed.
How much does translating cost? +
KZRS itself is free (10 pages a day) or a one-time Supporter code per year. The AI is billed by your provider, not by KZRS. Only the bubble text is sent, so requests are small; the price depends on the provider and model you pick. Gemini's free tier and local models (Ollama, LM Studio) cost nothing.
Are my images uploaded anywhere? +
No. Only the text inside the bubbles goes to the AI provider you choose. Detection, OCR, cleaning and typesetting run on your computer.
Which languages can it translate to? +
16: English, Indonesian, Javanese, Malay, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Russian, Arabic and Hindi.
Windows says “Windows protected your PC”. +
The app is not code-signed yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only do this once.
macOS says it cannot verify KZRS. +
Open KZRS once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
The AppImage does not start. +
Make it executable first (chmod +x, or Properties → Allow executing). On some distros install libfuse2, or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
Can I move my Supporter code to a new computer? +
Yes. Remove the old device in Supporter activation, then activate the code on the new computer.
Does it work without internet? +
With a local model (Ollama, LM Studio) everything runs offline. A Supporter licence keeps working 30 days offline and renews itself when you are online.
