ComiPo! is a manga program that lets people who can't draw create comics. The essence of creating comics with the help of this program is to drag and drop ready-made graphic elements into the desired part of the page. The program offers ready-made templates for pages, panels and speech balloons. It also has a library with characters, backgrounds and other objects that may be needed when working on a comic book. Characters and objects in the library are three-dimensional models, while backgrounds are ready-made or imported images. This allows the user to rotate the added element and give it the necessary angle/position. A separate section of the library is devoted to graphic designations of all kinds of sound effects ("Boom", "Bang" and so on). When you add a new item to a page, ComiPo! shows its settings in a separate panel where you can adjust its size, perspective and other parameters. In general, it is not difficult to get used to the program. The finished comic strip can be exported as an image file.

Characters can be customized with different hairstyles, clothing, eye colors, glasses and accessories, and the program offers more than 100 poses and facial expressions, adjustable camera angles and a choice of word balloon styles. Today the program is sold as Manga Maker ComiPo in the Steam store, while the separate desktop edition sold on the official site has not been supported since the end of 2020.

ComiPo! is a paid program. A free Trial Edition with limited functionality was offered to check whether the PC can run the full version.

ComiPo! simplifies comic creation by providing drag-and-drop 3D elements and customizable templates.
