Result: A PDF of the comic
Pages are sorted the way people count, so page2 comes before page10, and pages in chapter folders stay together. Hidden files and macOS '__MACOSX' folders are ignored.
JPG pages are always copied into the PDF unchanged. PNG pages stay lossless PNG, and WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF pages are converted to PNG, unless you choose 'Smaller file', which saves all non-JPG pages as JPEG at 90%.
.cbr files are RAR archives and .cb7 files 7-Zip archives, which this tool cannot open. Only .cbz (ZIP) comics are supported.
The archive is opened and the PDF built in your browser.
PDF readers that honour it, such as Adobe Acrobat and many comic apps, turn pages right to left; some browsers' built-in viewers ignore it.
The archive is opened inside your browser tab, so very large volumes need a desktop browser.
JSZip lists the archive's images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF) and sorts them with a natural, number-aware sort. pdf-lib adds one page per image: JPG data is embedded as it is, PNG as PNG, other formats after decoding. ComicInfo.xml, when present, gives the PDF its title.
'Same as picture' makes each PDF page exactly its image's size. A4 or Letter centres the image on a paper page, turning the page sideways for double-page spreads.
RAR (.cbr) and 7-Zip (.cb7) archives are not supported. Archives up to 500 MB are accepted; the browser holds the comic and the PDF in memory while converting.
The comic is processed in the browser and not uploaded.
