A CDisplayEx alternative for Mac, iPhone and iPad
CDisplayEx is a comic reader for Windows and Android, and as of November 2026 it has no version for Mac, iPhone or iPad. LiveComics opens the same CBR, CBZ and PDF files on a Mac, an iPhone, an iPad, Android, Windows and in any browser, keeps them in one library, and reads them page by page, one panel at a time, or aloud.

Is there a CDisplayEx for iPhone or iPad?

How do I move my comics over?
Your CBR and CBZ files work as they are, with nothing to convert. Add copies of the ones you want on your other screens.
- Make a free account at livecomics.to, or get the app from the App Store, Google Play or the Microsoft Store.
- In your library, press + Add Comics and pick the files. You can pick many at once, or paste a Google Drive or Dropbox share link instead.
- Choose Pages only, Panel view or Voiced and press Add.
Each file can be up to 2.6 GB. A free account imports 30 comics a month and holds 1 GB, about 20 single issues, with no card. For a bigger collection, Collector is $3 a month for 50 GB and lifts the import limit.
Can I read one panel at a time?
Yes. Choose Panel view when you add an issue, and every page is split into its panels ahead of time, in reading order. Each panel fills the screen, you tap to the next one, and the whole page is always one switch away. Panel view is free on every issue.
Can I read with the keyboard?
Yes. The right and left arrow keys move through the comic, P switches between panels and whole pages, and Space plays and pauses a voiced issue. On a big screen a whole page fits at once, and Panel view brings one panel up to fill the window when you want it close.
Can it read comics aloud?
Yes. Choose Voiced when you add an issue and every speech balloon is read in order by two synthetic narrators matched to each speaker, with the drawn sound effects and a soundscape under every scene, while the panels turn on their own and subtitles show each line as it is spoken. Full cast (every character voiced) comes with the Enthusiast and Power plans. Every issue on the free streaming shelf is voiced already, free to stream with a free account.
Can I keep using CDisplayEx on my PC?
Yes. It suits a Windows PC well, and your files stay where they are. LiveComics covers the screens it doesn't reach, and your place here follows you from your Mac to your phone. Your place in CDisplayEx doesn't come over with the files, so each series starts again here.
