How do I convert a CBZ file to PDF?
Press Choose a CBZ file and check the first pages shown in order. Keep Page size on Same as each picture for an exact copy, or pick A4 or US Letter for printing. Press Convert to PDF, then Download. The PDF opens in any reader, on phones, tablets and e-readers that show PDFs.
- Press Choose a CBZ file.
- Check the page order; tick Reverse the page order if needed.
- Pick the Page size.
- Press Convert to PDF, then Download.
Why are my pages out of order in other apps?
Plain alphabetical sorting puts page10 before page2, because it compares one character at a time. The tool sorts numbers by their value, the way a person reads them. This table shows the same four file names in both orders, sorted with the tool's own code.
| Alphabetical order | Natural order (this tool) |
|---|---|
| page1.jpg | page1.jpg |
| page10.jpg | page2.jpg |
| page2.jpg | page9.jpg |
| page9.jpg | page10.jpg |
Does converting lose quality?
Not for JPEG pages: their bytes are copied into the PDF as they are, so the PDF is about the size of the archive. PNG pages are kept lossless. WebP and GIF pages are redrawn as PNG, which keeps their look but can make the file larger.
| Test comic | Pages | Archive | Time | |

Limits and fixes
- CBR files are RAR archives, which browsers cannot open; convert them to CBZ with a comic reader first.
- CB7 and CBT archives are not supported.
- Very large comics (hundreds of high-resolution pages) may run out of memory on phones; use a computer.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up or page limit.
Is my comic uploaded?
No. It is opened and converted in your browser.
Can I convert the PDF back to CBZ?
Use PDF to JPG to save every page as a picture, then put them in a ZIP and rename it .cbz.
What about manga read right to left?
The page order stays as the archive stores it. Tick Reverse the page order if your archive is stored back to front.
Does it work with .zip files of pictures?
Yes. A .zip of page pictures works the same way.
