What is a .CBZ file?
CBZ is a ZIP of comic page images, the most common digital-comic format.
- Did you know
- A CBZ is simply a ZIP full of page images that comic readers display in order.
- The comic-archive convention puts the container type in the last letter, and the ZIP-based CBZ is by far the most widely used.
- Because a CBZ is an ordinary ZIP, renaming it to .zip lets any computer open it and pull out the individual page images.
- What Analyser reads
- Open documents, e-books and publishing files beyond Office: comic books (CBZ/CBT with ComicInfo + first-page preview; CBR/CB7 identified), Microsoft XPS, FictionBook FB3, iBooks, Scrivener, Visio VSDX, R Markdown/Quarto, RTFD, WARC/MAFF web archives, TeX DVI, legacy Hangul HWP, and WordPerfect/QuarkXPress/PageMaker identification.
- Depth of analysis
- .CBZ is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .CBZ file
- Drag a .CBZ file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
