Prerequisites

Epubs must be DRM-free and should ideally be in the format of "[Series] v[Volume].epub", for example "Two Pieces v69.epub" (both are optional, but are derived from the filename, if calibre tags are not found)
If you download the smaller package (without "_full" in the filename), you need to install .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0. The program should guide you to the correct website, if it isn't installed yet.

Start the epub2cbz.exe
If in Folder Mode, click on the "Input Folder" button (📁) and select the folder containing the epub files
If in File Mode, drag and drop the epub files onto the main text window and optionally select an "Output Folder" (📁)
(Click on the mode switch button (🔄) to switch between these two modes)
Enable or disable certain options, like creating a ComicInfo.xml file or extracting images. The settings menu (⚙) contains more options (recommended settings are enabled by default)
Click the "Start" button and wait

"--simple" / "-s": Enable "Simple Mode". Only extracts images. No further processing is done. All images keep their original name. Very Fast!
"--dark" / "-d": Enable dark mode

Download and install the .NET SDK 9.0 then either run the "publish_full.bat" or "publish_small.bat" in the source folder
