CB7 uses the 7z compression format as its container - the same idea as CBZ (ZIP) or CBR (RAR), just with a packer that often produces smaller files for comic pages. Some scan groups deliberately choose CB7 when an archive would otherwise be huge. The catch: almost no comic reader, cloud service, or browser opens 7z natively, while PDF works everywhere. This tool unpacks your CB7 and builds a PDF where every page sits on its own.

Unpacking runs through a real, in-browser 7z read engine (libarchive). Sorting matters here: 7z often stores entries alphabetically rather than numerically when packing, so Seite_10.jpg would sort ahead of Seite_2.jpg, for instance. This tool detects that and reorders the pages numerically by filename before they go into the PDF - without this correction, the reading order in the result would be scrambled.

The conversion happens entirely locally in the browser, with no upload and usable offline too. PNG and JPEG pages are embedded full-bleed at their original resolution; companion files like ComicInfo.xml do not carry into the PDF, since a PDF has no field for them. A password-protected or damaged CB7 is rejected with a clear error message. If a switch to a more widely-supported archive format suits you better than a PDF, CB7 to CBZ does exactly that; for RAR-based comics there are dedicated CBR to PDF and CBR to CBZ tools.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or tap your CB7 file.
  2. The tool reads the 7z archive and re-sorts the pages numerically.
  3. Download the PDF (several CB7 produce several PDFs).

Limitations: Fully unpacks a CB7 (7z archive) and produces a PDF from it: one image per PDF page, full-bleed at original resolution, corrected into numeric filename order - even when 7z stores the entries internally in alphabetical order. PNG and JPEG pages are embedded; other formats and metadata files like ComicInfo.xml are not carried over. A password-protected or genuinely damaged archive, or one with no image page at all, is rejected with a clear error message.

FAQ

Do my comic pages go anywhere online?

No. The entire unpacking and PDF build run locally in the browser, without upload - the tool works offline too.

Why is the order in the original CB7 sometimes wrong?

7z often sorts entries alphabetically rather than numerically when packing, so page 10 can end up before page 2. This tool detects that and renumbers the pages before embedding.

Does image quality stay unchanged?

Yes. The original images are embedded into the PDF unchanged, without recompression.

What happens with a password-protected CB7?

It gets rejected with a clear error message instead of being processed incorrectly.
