PDF to CBZ
Turn a PDF comic or manga into a CBZ archive for comic-reader apps.
About this tool
CBZ is the comic book archive format read by apps such as CDisplayEx, YACReader, Panels, Chunky, Komga and Kavita. It is simply a ZIP of page images in reading order, which many readers handle more smoothly than a PDF.
PDF to CBZ renders every page at the DPI you choose, saves it as JPG (small) or PNG (lossless) with naturally sorted names (001.jpg, 002.jpg …) and adds a ComicInfo.xml with the title and page count. Mark it as manga to tell readers to page right-to-left.
All processing happens on your device.

Frequently asked questions
JPG or PNG inside the CBZ?
JPG keeps files small and is fine for colour artwork. PNG is lossless and better for black-and-white line art.
Can I turn a CBZ back into a PDF?
Yes, use the CBZ to PDF tool.
What is ComicInfo.xml?
A small metadata file many readers use for the title, page count and reading direction.
