What are CBZ and CBR files?

CBZ and CBR are comic book archive formats. CBZ is a renamed ZIP file and CBR is a renamed RAR file, each containing a sequence of image files (typically JPEG or PNG) representing comic book pages. They are the standard format for distributing digital comics, manga, and graphic novels. Converting to PDF makes them readable on any device.

Will the image quality be reduced?

No. The converter preserves the original image resolution and quality. Pages are embedded in the PDF at their native resolution without recompression, so the visual quality is identical to viewing the images directly from the archive.

Can I set the PDF page size?

Yes. You can choose to fit the page size to each image (so pages match the original comic dimensions) or use a standard paper size like A4 or Letter with the images scaled to fit. The fit-to-image option is best for screen reading, while standard sizes are better for printing.

Does this work with manga that reads right-to-left?

The converter assembles pages in the order they appear in the archive (sorted by filename). For right-to-left manga, ensure the archive files are named in the correct reading order. The output PDF can be configured for right-to-left reading direction in compatible viewers.
