Turns a CBZ — a ZIP full of page images — into a PDF, one page per image, in filename order. The images are embedded as they are, so the artwork in the PDF is bit-for-bit the artwork in the archive.
Nothing is re-encoded, and that is the whole point
A converter that offers you a quality option for this is decoding your artwork and compressing it again for no reason. The result here is bit-for-bit the pages you started with, in a container more things open.
Page order
page-2 before page-10, which plain alphabetical sorting gets backwards.
If the pages were already misordered inside the archive, they will be misordered in the PDF. Renaming files to guess at the intended order would be a worse surprise than reproducing what is there.
Why convert at all
Choose "page exactly the size of each image" for reading on a screen, and a paper size if it is going to be printed on paper.

Questions
- Does the image quality change?
- No. PDF stores JPEG and PNG natively, so the pages are copied in without being decoded. There is no quality setting because there is nothing to set.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. The PDF is built in this tab and handed to you as a download. That matters here more than most places: the documents people convert to PDF are contracts, CVs, medical letters and manuscripts.
- What if my pages are WebP or AVIF?
- PDF cannot hold either, so those pages would have to be re-encoded — and a comic archive of WebP pages is unusual enough that guessing at a quality setting for you would be worse than saying so. Convert the images to PNG or JPEG first.
- Why is my page order wrong?
- Almost always because the pages inside the archive are numbered without leading zeros, so 10 sorts before 2 in some readers. This orders them the way a person would — if it is still wrong, the archive itself has them in that order.
- Can I convert several files at once?
- Yes. Drop as many as you like, or a whole folder. Each becomes its own PDF keeping its original name.
