About this app

ComicDrive — The Modern Comic Book & Manga Reader for Android

Your comics, wherever you keep them. ComicDrive reads CBZ, CBR and PDF from your phone, your cloud folders, your NAS and your comic server. Free, with every feature included — no subscription, no account.

🔍 PANEL BY PANEL
• Tap Panels in the reader and the view glides from panel to panel, zoomed right in
• Read a full comic page on a phone screen, one panel at a time
• Panels are found on your device, nothing is uploaded
• Set the pace, the zoom and how much the rest of the page is dimmed

📂 READ FROM ANYWHERE
• Local storage and SD card
• Cloud folders through Android's storage framework — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and more
• Network shares over SMB, FTP and SFTP — read straight from your NAS
• OPDS catalogs: Komga, Kavita, Calibre-Web — stream page by page without downloading
• Progress on comics from Komga and Kavita is sent back to your server
• Catalogs behind Cloudflare Access or a proxy that needs custom request headers
Files stream from the source and are cached on your device for smooth reading.

🇯🇵 MADE FOR MANGA
• Right-to-left reading direction
• Webtoon mode with seamless vertical scrolling
• Double-page spreads on tablets and foldables, with a one-page shift when spreads pair up wrong
• Reader settings can be overridden per comic

⚡ SMART READING
• Automatic reading progress — pick up right where you left off
• The last page offers the next issue of the series
• Turn pages while zoomed in: the next page keeps the zoom
• Pinch and double-tap zoom, tap zones and volume-button page turns
• A slideshow that turns the pages for you
• Automatic margin cropping for scanned pages
• Bookmarks with notes and colors

📚 ORGANIZE YOUR COLLECTION
• The start screen leads with the comic you are reading, followed by Recently added
• Series detected automatically from file names and ComicInfo.xml
• Rename, merge and split series, set the reading order and pick any page as a cover
• Finished comics carry a check mark on their cover; mark many as read or unread at once
• Search, sorting, filters, grid or list view and a folder view
• Categories and favorites
• Hide issues you don't want to see — without deleting them
• Stays fast with large collections

🎨 IMAGE FILTERS
• Sepia, grayscale, high contrast and night mode
• Manual brightness, contrast and saturation
• Light and true-black dark mode

🔒 PRIVACY AND CONTROL
• No account needed; your library and reading progress are stored on your device
• App lock with PIN or biometrics
• Backup and restore your library, reading progress and bookmarks, also automatically on a schedule

📖 SUPPORTED FORMATS
CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT comic archives plus PDF. Plain ZIP and RAR files work too, and so do comics packed as archives inside an archive.

💛 FREE FOR EVERYONE
Every feature is included for everyone. The optional supporter purchase unlocks nothing: it removes the bar on the start screen and funds development. A future version will show a small ad in that bar; supporters never see ads.

🌍 Available in 29 languages.

Whether you read superhero comics, manga, webtoons or graphic novels: ComicDrive is the CBZ reader, CBR reader and PDF comic reader that puts your collection first.

The best comic reader app on mobile! I am so glad I found this app, it is really really amazing. The interface is very fun and easy to use, comics can be organised easily. Reader settings are great and really improve the experience. Thank you for making this app!

When I finish a book in Webtoon, I have to switch to landscape for the book complete button to open its menu. The paper filter is my favorite part of the app! I think it's worth a dowload for that aspect alone. The panel by panel mode & margin cuts have almost no quality dip now, amazing! I feel like it would work better for tablets, but it's still great for phones. Mine's too tall, I guess. By the way, thanks for implementing my feedback! The app just gets better & better with each update!

Thanks, I’ve built that in! In v3.13 you can turn off Settings › Display › Use the camera area so pages stay clear of the camera, tall pages now open at the top with Fit width in landscape, and Cut margins pages in landscape are sharper on most devices. Please use the feedback function of the app (in settings) to report bugs.

This app is amazing but when I toggle my reading direction in a comic, it sets it up that way for EVERY comic. I don't want that. I read that there's a way to set the first issue in a series and the rest will follow, but it affects all my comics. I think a toggle in every folder or series to change from left to right would fix this easily, or choose presents or a toggle to only change the reading direction for THIS comic or series. if I'm doing something wrong and this is already implemented lmk

Thanks! It’s already there: while reading, tap Layout in the bottom bar and change Reading direction. That applies only to this comic and its series. The gear at the top opens Settings, where Default reading direction changes every comic, so set that back to Left to right. Still stuck? Use Settings > Send feedback with Attach logs on.

What's new

The reader needs much less memory, both while you read and after you switch to another app.
