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
1.3.15
August 14, 2026
- Downloads are visible everywhere now: a comic being fetched from your comic folder shows a progress ring in the grid, the list and Discover, and a tap stops it. - In Discover, the Read button offers to download a comic that isn't on your device yet, and turns into Cancel while it fetches. - New in Zoom: Keep Zoom Across Pages carries a zoomed double page over to the next one, so a long read stays at one size instead of dropping back to the whole spread. - A comic folder that can't be reached now says so wherever the download was started, instead of leaving you waiting. - Shuffle is a single tap again on iPad.
