How to convert ZIP to CBZ

  1. Add your ZIP archives

    Drop ZIP files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. CBZ is already chosen

    Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the CBZ, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

  • Free, without an account

ZIP to CBZ: what to expect

A CBZ is a ZIP of page images with a different extension, which tells comic readers to open it as a book. Converting a folder of scanned pages or downloaded images makes them readable in a comic app with page turning.

A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password. A comic book archive may hold nothing but page images (and a ComicInfo.xml file). If the archive holds anything else, the conversion is refused and says so.

ZIP vs CBZ

ZIP

ZIP archive

ZIP bundles files and folders into one compressed file. Every operating system can open it without installing anything, which makes it the safe choice for sharing.

Opens in Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android without extra software

CBZ

Comic book (ZIP)

A CBZ is simply a ZIP file of page images, usually JPG or PNG, named so that they sort into reading order. The extension tells comic readers to show it as a book. Because it is a ZIP, any archive program can open it.

Opens in Comic readers such as YACReader, CDisplay and Calibre; most e-reader apps

Questions

Are my archives uploaded anywhere?

No. The ZIP to CBZ conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Is anything lost when converting ZIP to CBZ?

The content is carried over as faithfully as CBZ allows; features that CBZ does not have are left out.

Can I convert several ZIP files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert ZIP to CBZ on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the ZIP file, press Convert and save the CBZ. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
