How to convert cbz to epub file

Source format: cbz

CBZ stands for Comic Book Zip. It is a comic archive format that stores pages as image files, usually .jpg, .png, or .webp, inside a ZIP container with the .cbz extension. CBZ files are commonly used for digital comics, manga, and graphic novels because they preserve page order and are easy to create from scanned pages or downloaded images.

Target format: epub

EPUB is a widely supported e-book format used by many reading apps and devices, including Calibre, Apple Books, Kobo devices, and numerous Android readers. EPUB can be reflowable or fixed-layout. For comics, the result is usually a fixed-layout EPUB where each page is treated as an image, which can work well on some readers but not all.

How to convert cbz to epub

The most practical desktop option is Calibre, which can import comic archives and convert them to EPUB.

  1. Install Calibre on your computer.
  2. Open Calibre and choose Add books to import the .cbz file.
  3. Select the imported comic, then click Convert books.
  4. Set the output format to EPUB.
  5. Review conversion settings such as page size, margins, image handling, and metadata.
  6. Click OK to start the conversion.
  7. When the process finishes, open or export the EPUB from your Calibre library.

If you want a no-install option, you can also convert the file on 101convert.com for free.

Quality and compatibility notes

CBZ to EPUB conversion is usually best for readers that support fixed-layout EPUB well. If the EPUB is created from page images, the text inside those images will not be selectable unless OCR is used separately. Large source images can produce a heavy EPUB file that opens slowly on some devices.

For best results, keep the original page order intact, use clear image files, and include useful metadata and cover art when possible. Some EPUB readers handle comic-style layouts better than others, so test the output on your target device. If your main goal is comic reading, CBZ may still be the better format on devices and apps that support it directly.
