Frequently Asked Questions
Is a CBZ file really just a ZIP?
Yes. CBZ is a standard ZIP archive; the extension only signals to software that the contents are sequential comic pages. Changing it to .zip lets every operating system open it natively with no extra software.
Does anything inside change?
Nothing. The archive is passed through untouched and only the filename changes, so the pages, their order and any ComicInfo.xml file are all preserved exactly.
Why not just rename it in my file manager?
On a desktop you can, and it is quicker. This is aimed at phones, tablets and managed machines where extensions are hidden or cannot be edited — and it confirms the file really is a valid ZIP first.
Can I get back to CBZ afterwards?
Yes, with the ZIP to CBZ tool, or by renaming. The round trip is lossless because no repacking happens in either direction.
I just want the images — is this the right tool?
Use the CBZ extractor instead. It unpacks the archive in your browser and lets you download the page images individually, without needing any archive software.
