CBX Tool is a desktop comic reader and lightweight editor for .cbz, .cbr, and image-folder workflows. It is built for fast loading, clean navigation, and quick archive editing without leaving the app.
- Archive and folder support: Open
.cbz,.cbr, and raw image folders directly. - Fast vertical reading: Read comics in a smooth stacked-image viewer optimized for quick scrolling.
- Flexible viewing modes: Switch between Fit to Height and Fit to Width, with optional auto-scroll and adjustable speed in width mode.
- Page management tools: Reorder pages with drag and drop, remove or restore pages, reset to the original order, and add multiple new image pages from the sidebar.
- Save and export workflows: Save changes back to the archive, use Save File As to rename output before writing, extract archive contents to a folder, or convert an image folder into a
.cbz.
- Progress-aware navigation: A page progress bar and synced page list make it easier to track position in long chapters.
- Recent files: Reopen recently used comics from the landing screen, and clear the recent history when needed.
- Keyboard and drag-and-drop support: Use keyboard shortcuts for navigation and quick actions, or open files by dropping them onto the landing screen.
- Lightweight desktop stack: Built with Electrobun and Bun for fast startup and low overhead.
