Even a basic task like clearing the source file list isn’t straightforward. Once you get past the core conversions, CbxConverter’s interface becomes annoying. We set the resize/ resample option to 50 percent and our file sizes dropped by 83.3 percent. If you choose to resample the image then there’s scope to achieve much more. The default JPG > WebP conversion delivered reasonable results in our eight test comics, which fell to a fraction less than half their original size, without a significant reduction in quality. The main program window keeps you up-to-date with progress, and any converted files are saved in an 'out' folder (there’s no option to overwrite the originals). Drag and drop your source files, click the 'Start…' button, and wait. The program is barely a 1MB download, and doesn’t require installation - just unzip it and go.ĬbxConverter’s core operations seem simple, at least initially.
