Examples

Merging CBZ Files

Merge multiple CBZ files into a single file:

cbz2epub -merge -output merged.cbz chapter1.cbz chapter2.cbz chapter3.cbz

or just all files in the dir:

cbz2epub -merge -output merged.cbz chapter*.cbz

If no output file is specified, the default name "merged.cbz" will be used:

cbz2epub -merge chapter1.cbz chapter2.cbz chapter3.cbz

Converting CBZ to EPUB

Convert a single CBZ file to EPUB:

cbz2epub -convert -output mycomic.epub comic.cbz

If no output file is specified, the output filename will be derived from the input filename:

cbz2epub -convert comic.cbz
# Creates comic.epub

Bulk Conversion

Convert all CBZ files in the current directory:

cbz2epub -convert -recursive .

Convert all CBZ files in a specific directory and its subdirectories:

cbz2epub -convert -recursive /path/to/comics

Verbose Output

Add the -verbose flag to get more detailed output:

cbz2epub -convert -verbose -recursive /path/to/comics
