Pagira - HTML & Comic Reader
HTML, CSS, PDF, CBR, CBZ, EPUB
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: read your comics panel by panel. Each panel grows and the balloons read without zooming, even on iPhone. Your HTML sites still look just like they do on the web.
Pagira displays your standalone HTML sites, individual HTML pages and your PDFs directly on your iPhone and iPad, even without a connection, and also reads your EPUB books and comics. Where most readers settle for a rough rendering, Pagira opens a real, complete web folder (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, subfolders) and renders it like a browser, locally.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Pagira is for anyone who needs to read standalone HTML sites, individual HTML pages, PDFs, books or comics directly on their device, especially offline. Typical uses:
- Students whose courses are exported as HTML (medicine, law and other fields), or delivered as e-learning modules.
- Technical documentation shipped as a website: electronics, mechanics, engineering manuals, datasheets and reference guides.
- Developers and writers previewing static sites and generated documentation (Doxygen, Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Storybook, Javadoc).
- Reports and exports such as Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown or test reports saved as HTML.
- Web pages and articles you want to keep and read later, offline.
If your content is an HTML folder, a single page, a PDF, a book or a comic, Pagira is built to open it cleanly.
FEATURES
- Full HTML rendering: CSS, JavaScript, images and subfolders genuinely work. fetch/XHR, ES modules and even WebAssembly are supported, because the content is served through a real local web origin, not a simple file preview. A site in a .zip is uncompressed and opened in one go.
- Built-in PDF reader: continuous scrolling and automatic scaling, go to page, contents and thumbnails, for your local or iCloud PDFs.
- EPUB books (light, sepia and dark themes) and comics in CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT: two-page spreads on iPad, manga, vertical scrolling, and Panel by Panel reading, made for iPhone. Word, Markdown, RTF and text too.
- Highlights, notes and bookmarks in your books and PDFs.
- Search a whole folder, even scanned PDFs (text recognized on the device), and by file name. Ask: ask a question, Pagira opens the page that answers it. Nothing made up.
- 100% offline: once the content is on your device, everything opens without a connection. Perfect on a plane, while travelling or in areas with no network.
- Local files and iCloud Drive: open from the Files app, your local storage or iCloud Drive, and also via "Open in Pagira" from other apps.
- iCloud on demand: iCloud files are streamed as you go (without downloading everything), or downloaded in one tap for a permanent offline copy. Automatic resume after an interruption.
- Home: Currently Reading, Favorites, Recent and Offline, with their covers.
- iCloud sync: page, highlights, notes and favorites follow you between iPhone and iPad.
- History: find every page you have viewed, including navigation within a site, grouped by day, and reopen it exactly where you left off.
- Auto-reopen: pick up your last reading as soon as you launch the app (can be turned off).
- Web archives: open a saved .webarchive file, rendered offline as is.
- Universal: built for iPhone and iPad, in both orientations.
- Multilingual: available in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese.
PRIVACY
Pagira collects nothing, tracks no one and requires no account. Your files stay on your device and in your iCloud: nothing is sent to a server. No ads, no tracking.

Read your comics panel by panel, even on iPhone.
- New: Panel by Panel reading. Each panel grows in turn and the balloons read without zooming. Pagira first checks that the album suits it, and your panel follows you to your other device.
- Reading page by page, tap a panel to enlarge it, then pinch to zoom inside it.
- Search is prepared when you ask for it, and is faster in very large folders.
- HTML pages: set the text size and the colours (sepia, dark).
- Performance improvements and bug fixes.
