Hi everyone. Does anyone know of a guide or software to convert jpeg files into CBZ format? I download a lot of manga but most of the time the files are packed in a zip and they are all jpegs of each page of the manga. This makes it a bit of a pain to read so I would rather organize them and just make the whole volume into one CBZ to read comfortably. Thank you to all who take the time to comment.

that’s all CBZ is – a set of image files zipped up and the file extension changed to *.cbz (CBR is the same thing but RAR compressed and *.cbr file extension)

It’s just a zip file with a different file extension. Zip a stack of jpegs with filenames that will list them in reading order when sorted alphabetically and then change the extension.

Sure! So, “.cbz” and “.cbr” files are literally just a folder of images in zip or rar files respectively, with the file extension changed so they will open in a comic reading app instead of being unzipped/unrared when you click on them. So as long as the filenames of the zipped images are in the correct alphabetical order, all you have to do is change the “.zip” at the end of the filename to “.cbz” (or “.rar” to “.cbr”).
