Panel Guide is a modern comic reader built for people who want their digital comics in one clean, fast, and flexible app. Import your favorite comics, organize them in a personal library, and read them in the way that feels best to you, whether that is full-page reading or a guided panel-by-panel experience designed for smaller screens.
Panel Guide supports common comic formats including CBZ, CBR, PDF, and ordered image files. Once imported, your comics are added to your shelf so you can browse, search, reopen, and continue reading whenever you want. The app is designed to make your collection feel organized and easy to access, without getting in the way of the reading experience.
Key features:
• Import CBZ, CBR, PDF, and image-based comics
• Personal comic library with shelf-style browsing
• Guided panel reading mode for a more focused mobile experience
• Full-page reading mode for traditional comic layouts
• Offline-first storage so your comics stay available on your device
• Optional account sign-in and sync across devices
• Reading progress saved automatically
• Series and shelf organization tools
• Premium upgrade for ad-free reading and unlimited uploads
Panel Guide is designed for both casual readers and collectors. If you just want a simple way to keep a few comics on your phone or tablet, the free tier gives you a lightweight, ad-supported experience with a library limit. If you want a larger collection, unlimited uploads, and a cleaner premium experience, you can upgrade and remove ads while unlocking the full storage allowance.
The guided reading mode helps make comics easier to enjoy on mobile devices by focusing attention on readable regions of the page. This makes it easier to follow dialogue and visual flow without constantly zooming and panning manually. If you prefer the traditional experience, full-page mode is always available so you can enjoy the original page layout as intended.
Panel Guide also supports a flexible storage model. You can keep your reading local to the current device, or sign in and use sync features so your library and progress can follow you across supported devices. This makes it easy to start reading in one place and continue later without losing your place.
Privacy and control are also built in. You can delete comics from your shelf at any time, and signed-in users can request permanent account deletion directly from within the app. Clear public pages are also available for privacy policy and account deletion information.
Whether you are reading collected editions, webcomic exports, scanned archives, or curated image sequences, Panel Guide gives you one place to store, organize, and enjoy your comics with less friction.
Panel Guide helps you:
• Build your own digital comic shelf
• Read comfortably on phones and tablets
• Keep track of where you left off
• Organize your library for faster browsing
• Choose between offline local reading or synced account-based access
• Upgrade when you want more storage and an ad-free experience
If you want a comic reader that supports the formats you already have, feels good on mobile, and keeps your library easy to manage, Panel Guide is built for that job.
