Simple Comic For Mac: Open Multiple Comics & Export Pages As JPG

Simple Comic is an intuitive comic reader for Mac OS X that will enhance your comic reading experience by letting you control the way you want comics to appear. Not only does it allow you to change the page layout, it also lets you change the page order from left to right and vice versa and scale pages to 3 sizes including original size, window fit and horizontal fit.  While it has the ability to open multiple comic archives at the same time, it supports CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RST, TAR, 7Z, LHA and many other types of digital comic formats. Apart from pre-defined page scaling modes, you can zoom in on defined area and use page rotation options to change the orientation of comics. Furthermore, it enables you to extract individual pages from the comics archive; just use command-c hotkey combination and select the page you want to extract to local location as image.

The application doesn’t show main interface unless you drag the comics book over its system dock icon. Once dropped, it will open the comics in 2 pane layout with scale to window size. However, you can change page view settings from toolbar, which contains Page Order, Page Layout, Page Scaling options, Turn Page controls, and Thumbnail and Full Screen modes.
