Comic Reader: CBZ CBR CB7

Open the CBZ, CBR and CB7 comics on your phone right where they are. Turn pages left to right or right to left for manga, read two pages side by side, and pick up on the page where you stopped.

There is no limit on how many books you can read, and no subscription.


■ Read

- Swipe or tap the edges of the screen to turn pages. You can also turn pages with the volume buttons (turn it on in Settings).
- Left to right, or right to left for manga. Switch with one button while reading, and each book remembers its direction.
- If a book says it is right to left in its ComicInfo.xml, it opens that way. For some files this starts from the next time you open the book.
- Two-page view turns on by itself when you hold the phone sideways. You can also keep it on one page or two pages.
- The cover is shown alone, and wide two-page scans are shown alone, so the pages after them still line up.
- Pinch or double tap to zoom up to 16x. Zoomed pages are redrawn sharper.
- Jump with the page slider or the page strip, and see where you are with "37 / 180".
- The screen can stay on while you read.


■ Your books

- Close a book and open it again later on the same page, with the same direction and two-page setting. The app remembers this for your last 500 books.
- Recent books show a cover and how far you have read.
- Choose one folder as your bookshelf to see the comics in it. At the last page of a book from the bookshelf, go straight to the next volume.
- Pages are put in natural order, so page 2 comes before page 10 and Ch2 before Ch10.


■ Open

- Pick a comic in the app, open it from your file manager, or share it to the app. If your file manager does not offer this app, pick the file inside the app.
- The app checks what is inside the file, not just the name. A CBR that is really a ZIP still opens.
- If one page can't be opened, only that page shows a note. The other pages still open.


■ Save

- Save the page you are reading to your gallery (Pictures/Comic Viewer). JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF pages are saved as they are, BMP pages as PNG.
- Export a whole book or a range of pages as one PDF. Right-to-left books stay right to left in the PDF.


■ Supported files

- Archives: ZIP (CBZ, stored or Deflate), RAR4 and RAR5 (CBR), 7z (CB7, LZMA and LZMA2).
- Pages: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame) and BMP.
- Not supported: password-protected or split archives, TAR (CBT), 7z or RAR files made with a very large dictionary, and JXL, TIFF, PSD or SVG pages.


■ Your files

- The original file is only read. The app has no button to delete, move or rename it. Removing a book from the recent list leaves the file where it is.
- Files are read on your phone and are not sent to the developer's server. A PDF you export goes to the place you choose.
- While you read, pages are unpacked into the app's cache and removed when you close the book.
- The app does not ask for storage permission. It reads only the files and the folder you choose.
- The app has no feature for getting comics from the internet.
- Google services process device information for ads and app usage statistics. See the privacy policy for details.


■ Good to know

- Opens up to 10,000 pages per book. A single page can be up to 64 MB, 32,768 pixels on a side and 400 megapixels in total.
- A PDF holds up to 1,000 pages and 1 GB. Choose a page range for longer books.
- If a file manager can't hand the file over directly, the app copies it first, up to 4 GB, and removes the copy when you close the book.
- Jumping far ahead in a solid RAR or 7z book can take longer, because these files are unpacked in order.
- RAR extraction uses the UnRAR source code. See Open source licenses in the app.
