CBZ to PDF: common questions
- Are my CBZ files uploaded anywhere?
- Yes — this conversion needs software that cannot run in a browser, so the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection. It is deleted as soon as the job finishes, and the result is removed after 60 minutes.
- Is converting CBZ to PDF free?
- The free plan covers three server conversions a day, for files up to 25 MB. There is no watermark on the result.
- Does converting CBZ to PDF lose quality?
- CBZ and PDF describe content in fundamentally different ways, so the conversion is a reconstruction rather than a copy. The result is faithful, but not byte-for-byte equivalent. E-books reflow to fit the screen, PDFs do not. Page breaks are decided during conversion.
- Do I need to install anything to open PDF files?
- No. The conversion runs on our side and gives you a finished PDF file; opening it needs whatever software normally handles Portable Document Format.
