MangaConverter

Edit comic and manga metadata

A converted volume with no metadata lands on your e-reader as a filename: no series, no volume number, no author, and twenty volumes of one series scattered through the library instead of grouped as a set. The planned metadata editor fixes that before the file ships: set title, author, series and volume number, and the device shelves it properly. We are being straight with you: it is not live yet, so this page does not offer it.

Today the converter carries names through sensibly, and a well-named input file (series, volume, chapter in the filename) is the best lever you have: it flows into the output and most readers shelve on it. The dedicated editor arrives here when real field-level editing works.

The metadata editor is coming soon

This tool is planned, not live yet. Convert with consistent filenames in the meantime.

What the metadata editor will do

  1. Read what the file already has

    CBZ ComicInfo and EPUB metadata would load into an editable form, so you see what your reader is actually going to display.

  2. Set the fields that matter

    Title, author, series and volume number, the four fields that decide whether a series groups on-device or scatters alphabetically.

  3. Write it into the output

    The edited fields would embed into the converted EPUB, KEPUB or CBZ, so every device and reader app sees the same clean record.

  4. Until then: name your files well

    The converter preserves sensible filenames through conversion today, and most e-readers shelve on them. A consistent naming scheme gets you most of the grouping.

Honesty first

A metadata form that silently drops its fields on export is worse than none. The editor arrives here when the fields verifiably land in the output files.

The live converter helps now

Conversion itself is live and careful with names: what you feed in flows through to the file your reader shelves. Combined with a consistent naming scheme, most libraries stay tidy today.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit metadata here right now?

Not yet, and we will not pretend otherwise. The editor is planned. Today the practical path is consistent filenames before converting, or a desktop tool like Calibre for deep metadata work on the output.

Why does metadata matter for manga specifically?

Because manga comes in long series. Twenty volumes with clean series metadata read as one shelf entry with an order; the same twenty without it are twenty strays sorted by whatever the filename starts with.

Will it fill fields in automatically?

That is the companion plan: an AniList lookup that pulls series, author, cover and tags from the title, so most volumes need no typing at all. It has its own page and roadmap entry.

Will you announce when it is ready?

Yes. When the editor ships it goes live on this page and the tools hub links to it. You can vote for it on the roadmap in the meantime.

MangaConverter runs on Kindle Comic Converter (KCC), the open-source engine, for the conversions that are live today. The metadata editor is a planned step around that pipeline, and this page will host it honestly once it works.
