A CB7's reading order can shift without warning: 7z packers often store entries alphabetically rather than numerically when compressing. Once a comic has more than nine pages this collides - Seite_10.jpg sorts ahead of Seite_2.jpg, because a "1" comes before a "2" as text. A reader or any other software that blindly trusts the order stored in the archive would then show the pages in the wrong sequence, with nothing to flag it. This tool prevents exactly that: every page is re-sorted numerically by filename before being repacked.

CB7 uses 7z instead of ZIP as its container - a packing format that often yields a slightly smaller file for image data, but is barely supported natively anywhere. Neither browser previews nor most cloud storage or comic readers open 7z without extra steps, while CBZ (ZIP) works everywhere. A real, in-browser 7z read engine (libarchive) fully unpacks your CB7; every contained image and metadata file - each image page and a bundled ComicInfo.xml alike - is then written unchanged, without recompression, into a fresh ZIP archive.

The whole process runs locally in your browser - no upload, works offline too. Honestly framed: a password-protected CB7, or one that is genuinely damaged, cannot be opened this way; instead of a broken or empty CBZ you get a clear error message. If you would rather end up with a PDF instead of a CBZ, CB7 to PDF does exactly that with the same read step; for RAR-based archives (CBR) the dedicated CBR to CBZ and CBR to PDF tools are available.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or tap your CB7 file.
  2. The 7z read engine reads the archive and re-sorts the pages numerically.
  3. Download the finished CBZ - opens in any common comic reader.

Limitations: Fully unpacks a CB7 (7z container) in the browser and writes a new CBZ (ZIP archive): every page is sorted numerically by filename before writing, independent of the order 7z stored them internally when packing - often alphabetical rather than numeric. Image and metadata files travel along, a bundled ComicInfo.xml is preserved too; individual special entries with no file content of their own (for example symlinks) cannot be represented, are skipped and are surfaced as a notice after conversion. An archive with password protection, a genuinely damaged archive, or a file that is not valid 7z is rejected with a clear error message instead of being mishandled.

FAQ

Why is the page order in the original CB7 sometimes scrambled?

7z packers often store entries alphabetically rather than numerically when compressing, so page 10 can end up sorted before page 2. This tool detects that and re-sorts the pages numerically before repacking.

Do my comic pages ever leave my computer?

No. The entire unpacking and repacking runs locally in the browser - even without an internet connection.

Does image quality change when switching from 7z to ZIP?

No. The image data itself is carried over unchanged; only the archive container switches from 7z to ZIP, with no recompression.

What happens with a password-protected CB7?

It is clearly detected as password-protected and rejected with a clear error message, instead of being processed incorrectly.
