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.

    You can just change .zip to .cbz either manually via a filebrowser or a script (cbz are essentially just zips).

    I think .cbz can only contain images, no subfolders, so maybe you need to make a .cbz per chapter or do a lot of remaming to be able to put them in one directory.

    Cbr is the same but for .rar files (which are not open source?).

    I think there is a program for adding metadata to manga like Comictagger (which does not work too well for manga) but I can’t remember the name …
