About
Paper Comic Reader is a fast, private, native reader for your CBZ comics.
No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking — just your comics, on your device.
BUILT FOR READING
• Open CBZ (ZIP) comic archives instantly.
• Full-screen, paged reader tuned for smooth, high-frame-rate page turns on ProMotion.
• A signature paper reading mode — warm paper texture, grain and show-through you can dial in.
• Double-page spreads in landscape, pinch to zoom, tap or swipe to turn.
• Jump anywhere from a page grid.
YOUR LIBRARY
• Discover and Recents carousels put the comic you reach for next front and centre.
• Bookmark any page — each bookmark keeps a thumbnail so you find it at a glance.
• Reads ComicInfo.xml metadata: series, issue, credits and a story index in a clean detail view.
• Light and dark mode.
BRING YOUR OWN COMICS
• Import from anywhere the Files app can reach — your device, iCloud Drive, or a file server.
• Point it at a folder and every comic shows up; each downloads when you open it, and a download can be removed again to save space while the entry stays.
• See your CBZ covers as thumbnails right in the Files app.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No sign-in, no analytics, no data collection. Everything stays on your device.

What's New in Paper Comic Reader
1.3.16
August 21, 2026
- A landscape button in the reader's toolbar turns the page sideways and keeps it there, so the double page is within reach even with the rotation lock on. - Pinch to switch between the page at full width and the whole page on screen. On a double page you can now take in both facing pages at once. - On a zoomed double page, swiping moves to the facing page instead of skipping past it, and the page no longer drifts sideways while you read down it. - New installs start with a gentler paper effect, plus a Default preset to come back to. - On iPad, one tap reaches the bottom of a page instead of two.
