The ZIP archive sorted files alphabetically, but your naming scheme was flawed. Rename 1.jpg to 001.jpg , 2.jpg to 002.jpg , etc. Use a bulk renaming tool like Bulk Rename Utility (Windows) or Name Mangler (macOS).

ZIP is natively supported by every operating system—Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can rename a .cbz file back to .zip , double-click it, and view all the pages without any special software. RAR, on the other hand, requires third-party tools like WinRAR or Unarchiver. For archival purposes, CBZ is considered more future-proof and less prone to corruption.

: Unlike manual image scrolling, CBZ readers allow for continuous reading via mouse scroll, keyboard, or screen taps. Many apps automatically remember your last read page , so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Optimized Layouts
