What is a CBZ file?

• Definition: A CBZ file is a comic book archive packaged as a ZIP file containing sequential image files (usually .jpg, .png, or .webp). The .cbz extension signals to comic reader apps that the archive should be presented as pages in a comic.
• Why it exists: CBZ provides a simple, device-agnostic way to bundle page images in order without specialized file formats or DRM.

• Include a text file (info.txt) or ComicInfo.xml (an informal standard many readers support) inside the ZIP to store series, issue number, writers, and tags.
• Add a dedicated cover image file recognized by readers (cover.jpg or 001.jpg).
