An online comic library for the comics you own
An online comic library keeps your comics in one place you can reach from any device. In LiveComics you add your CBR, CBZ, PDF or EPUB files once, and they are on your shelf in the app on iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, and in any browser, with your place saved. There is no server to run at home, and a free account holds 1 GB, about 20 single issues.
How do I make an online comic library?
Add your files once. After that the library belongs to your account, not to one device.
- 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.
- Sign in on your other devices. The same library is there, and each comic downloads when you open it.
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.
How much can I store?
A free account holds 1 GB, about 20 single issues, and imports 30 comics a month, with no card. Collector is $3 a month for 50 GB and lifts the import limit, and other plans hold more. When the shelf is full, deleting comics you no longer keep frees the space right away.
Can I read my comic library on every device?
Yes. Your library, your shelves and your place belong to your account. Start an issue on your phone and it opens at the same panel on your tablet or computer. Reader settings like page turns, subtitles and voice speed follow you too.

Can I read without a connection?
Yes. Choose Download for offline reading on a comic in your library, and that copy stays on the device until you remove it. Downloads are for your own library; the streaming shelf needs a connection.
Do I need my own comic server?
No. Komga, Kavita and calibre are good if you want to run a server at home, but they need a computer that stays on and some setup to reach from outside. LiveComics keeps the library for you. If you already run a server, connect it as Your library server and import the issues you pick.
Is it a backup of my comic files?
No, so keep your own copy. LiveComics keeps the pages of each comic so it can show them, not the original file, and there is no button to download the file back. Treat it as the place you read, and keep the files themselves on a drive or in a cloud folder.
Is there a shelf of comics to stream as well?
Yes, a small one. The streaming shelf holds classic public domain and openly licensed comics, every issue voiced, to stream with a free account. It sits next to your own library, and books you start there show up in Continue Reading too.
Straight answers
What is an online comic library?
A place on the web that keeps your comics and opens them on any device you sign in on, so you never copy files between them. LiveComics is one for the CBR, CBZ, PDF and EPUB files you own.
What is the best comic library app?
If you read on more than one kind of device, pick one that keeps the library in your account. LiveComics does that on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and any browser, stacks each series in reading order, and reads one panel at a time or aloud.
Is my comic library private?
Yes. What you upload lands on your own private shelf and nowhere else, and you can remove any of it at any time. You keep ownership of everything you add.
Can I share my comic library with my family?
No. Each library belongs to one account. Anyone in the house can make their own free account and add the files they own.
Does it work with Google Drive or Dropbox?
Yes, as a way in. Paste a Google Drive or Dropbox share link to a comic and it is added to your library. The library itself lives in your LiveComics account, not in your Drive.
Is an online comic library free here?
Yes, to add, organize and read your comics. A free account imports 30 comics a month with 1 GB of storage, about 20 single issues, and no card. Panel view is free on every issue, and voices come with a monthly plan or a top-up.
