PixComic - Manga Reader
Wi-Fi transfer, read offline
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Drag comics from your computer into a browser tab and they are on your phone in
seconds. CBZ, CBR and PDF, with Japanese and Chinese filenames intact.
PixComic is a local comic reader. It does not provide any comics — it reads the
archives you already own, and it reads them fast.
WI-FI TRANSFER, NO CABLE
Start the server on your phone, open the address it shows in your computer's
browser, and drag your files in. Uploads are chunked and resumable, so a
multi-gigabyte archive survives a dropped connection, a locked screen or a closed
tab — it picks up where it left off. The same page lets you browse what is on the
device, pull a book back to your computer, delete one, and check free space.
Importing from the Files app, AirDrop and "Open in" from other apps all work too.
EVERY FORMAT, NO MOJIBAKE
CBZ / ZIP, CBR / RAR, PDF, and plain folders of images.
Scan releases from Japan and Greater China routinely store filenames in Shift-JIS
or GBK rather than UTF-8, which turns into garbage text in most readers. PixComic
detects the encoding automatically, and sorts chapters naturally — page 2 comes
before page 10, not after it.
THREE READING MODES
· Manga: right-to-left, automatic two-page spreads in landscape, cover on its own
page so the spreads line up the way print does
· Standard: left-to-right
· Webtoon: seamless vertical scrolling, pinch to set the page width
A wide double-page scan can also be split into two screens, so spreads are
comfortable to read on a phone held upright.
BUILT TO STAY SMOOTH
Every image is decoded off the main thread and downsampled to your screen, with
pages preloaded in both directions. Page dimensions are measured once in the
background — you can read the whole time it runs — and cached, so reopening the
same book skips the rescan, the "Analyzing pages" strip along the bottom, and the
one relayout that lands when it finishes.
FOUR THEMES
Standard, Sci-fi, Pixel and Paper. Not just a tint — corners, borders, typeface and
light/dark all change together.
ALSO
Double-tap for a quick zoom and pinch all the way to native pixels (6x at most on
very large scans), thumbnail navigation, bookmarks, a scrubber with page preview,
automatic border trimming, screen-awake and brightness lock.
PixComic is free and ad-supported: a banner on the shelf and an occasional
interstitial before a book opens — never while you are reading.
