Remove pages from a CBZ, CBR or other comic archive before it converts
Most comic archives carry a page or two that should not be in the book: the scan group’s credits page, a duplicate scan, a recruitment poster, a blank the scanner added. The Pages tab lays the whole file out as a grid of thumbnails, you tick the ones to leave out, and they are dropped before the conversion runs. The archive itself is never rewritten in your browser; the list of excluded pages travels with the job and the worker skips them when it unpacks the file.
↑ Upload and configure in our Studio
This works on archives: CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP, RAR and 7Z. For a PDF or an EPUB the grid still shows the pages but is read-only, because those pages are extracted by the converter itself and there is no archive entry to drop. Drop a file, open the Pages tab in the studio, and remove what should not ship.

How to remove pages from a comic archive
Drop your archive and open the Pages tab
Drag in a CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP, RAR or 7Z. In the studio, the Pages tab sits beside Studio and Metadata and shows every page as a thumbnail, decoded only as you scroll so a 300 page volume opens without a wait.
Select the pages to remove
Tap a page to open its menu and choose Remove, or choose Select many, tick several and remove them together. Removed pages stay in the grid, dimmed and still numbered, with a Restore chip, so nothing is destroyed and page 11 stays page 11 whether or not it ships.
Check the count
The bar above the grid reads, for example, 45 of 48 pages, 3 removed, and the Convert button shows the same count. Restore all puts everything back in one tap if you change your mind.
Convert and download
Pick your device profile and convert. The worker unpacks the archive, leaves the excluded entries out, and hands the rest to the converter, so the output has exactly the pages you kept. Download EPUB, MOBI, KEPUB or CBZ. Files auto-delete after 24 hours.
Spreads show as spreads
An archive that stores a double-page spread as one wide image shows it double-wide in the grid, so the layout reads like the book rather than like a folder of files, and the spread you want to keep or remove is easy to spot.
The same tab sets the cover
The page menu that removes a page also opens it in the studio and sets it as the cover. If the first image in your archive is the credits page rather than the cover, remove it or pick the real cover from the grid; the change-comic-cover page walks through that.
Frequently asked questions
Does this edit my original CBZ?
No. The file you uploaded is left as it is. Removal is a list of page indices that rides along with the conversion; the worker skips those entries when it unpacks the archive. If you want a CBZ with the pages gone, choose CBZ as the output format and download that.
Can I remove pages from a PDF or an EPUB?
Not yet. The Pages tab shows a PDF or EPUB as a read-only grid with a one-line note. Those pages are extracted by the converter itself rather than unpacked from an archive, so there is no entry to drop. Archives are the supported case: CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP, RAR and 7Z.
Do removed pages renumber the rest?
No. Page numbers in the grid are fixed to the file’s own order, so a removed page keeps its number and the pages after it keep theirs. That makes it easy to compare against the scan group’s numbering, and Restore puts a page back exactly where it was.
If I queue a whole series, does the removal apply to every volume?
No. Pages belong to one file, so the excluded list is per file and never copies across a batch, even with Apply to all. Open each volume’s Pages tab and remove its own credits page; the thumbnails make that a few seconds per file.
Can a removed page be the cover?
No. A removed page has no place in the output, so Set as cover is disabled on it. Restore it first, then set it as the cover.
Conversion runs on Kindle Comic Converter (KCC), the open-source engine comic readers have relied on for years, hosted here with a live preview so there is nothing to install. The Pages tab sits in front of it and decides which pages KCC is handed.
