To convert CBZ to WebP, upload the CBZ file, start the conversion and download the result: Converter.now writes a WebP at quality 90. Calibre converts the book's text, chapters and images into WebP.
Converter.now opens the ZIP-based CBZ comic package, follows its page-image sequence, and writes the selected visual material as WebP. The archive wrapper, reader navigation, cover designation, and double-page behavior are not image properties. CBZ exposes page images through a ZIP central directory, where normalized filenames - Not archive insertion order - Usually control the comic sequence. Because WebP can be lossy, lossless, transparent, or animated, confirm explicitly which mode was actually chosen, along with the oldest supported browser, edge quality, frames, color, and metadata.
Starting model: a comic-book archive whose ordered page images are packaged in a ZIP file. Rendered result: a modern web image supporting lossy or lossless pixels, alpha, and animation.

Before converting a whole batch, read our overview of common file formats; it explains why a format is a set of tradeoffs rather than a label.
Used for long-form reading content packaged for an ereader.
Designed for efficient modern web graphics.
Use WebP for an individual comic page or image workflow; retain CBZ when the ordered issue must open as one book in a comic reader.
Use a comic reader to verify cover selection, page order, and image orientation.
Check the encoding mode, animation frames, transparency, gradients, and oldest required browser.
Alphabetical filename sorting can put page 10 before page 2 unless names are padded consistently.
Legacy software may not open WebP, and lossy settings can blur texture or transparent edges.
a modern web image supporting lossy or lossless pixels, alpha, and animation is what gets written, labeled as image/webp. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
