In addition, folders may be used to group images. Occasionally GIF, BMP, and TIFF files are seen. The idea was made popular by the CDisplay sequential image viewer since then, many viewers for different platforms have been created.Ĭomic book archive files mainly consist of image files, typically PNG (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression) files, stored as a single archive file. There’s no "Clear" toolbar button, no menu option, you can’t select them and press Del - the option you need is available on a right-click menu only.ĬbxConverter carries out its main function well enough, though, and if you need to batch process a group of comics - and your comic reader can handle WebP files - then it just might be good enough.A comic book archive or comic book reader file (also called sequential image file) is a type of archive file for sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books. Even a basic task like clearing the source file list isn’t straightforward. Once you get past the core conversions, CbxConverter’s interface becomes annoying. We set the resize/ resample option to 50 percent and our file sizes dropped by 83.3 percent.


If you choose to resample the image then there’s scope to achieve much more. The default JPG > WebP conversion delivered reasonable results in our eight test comics, which fell to a fraction less than half their original size, without a significant reduction in quality. The main program window keeps you up-to-date with progress, and any converted files are saved in an "out" folder (there’s no option to overwrite the originals). Drag and drop your source files, click the "Start…" button, and wait. The program is barely a 1MB download, and doesn’t require installation - just unzip it and go.ĬbxConverter’s core operations seem simple, at least initially.
