Mandown is a comic downloader and a CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, and/or PDF converter. It also supports image post-processing to make them more readable on certain devices similarly to [Kindle Comic Converter](https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc).
## Features
- Download comics from [supported sites](#supported-sites)
- Supports downloading a range of chapters
- Supports multithreaded downloading
- Process downloaded images
- Rotate or split double-page spreads
- Trim borders
- Resize images
- Convert downloaded comics to CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, or PDF
- Convert any other CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, or PDF comic to CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, or PDF
- [A library to easily do all of this from other Python scripts](#basic-library-usage)
## Usage
Run `mandown --help` or see the [docs](/docs/) for more information and examples.
```
mandown get <URL>
```
To convert the downloaded contents to CBZ/EPUB/MOBI/PDF, append the `--convert` option. To apply image processing to the downloaded images, append the `--process` option.
```
mandown get <URL> --convert epub --process rotate_double_pages
```
To download only a certain range of chapters, append the `--start` and/or `--end` options.
> **Note:** `--start` and `--end` are _inclusive_, i.e., using `--start 2 --end 3` will download chapters 2 and 3.
To convert an existing folder or comic file without downloading anything (like a stripped-down version of <https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc>), use the `convert` command.
```
mandown convert <FORMAT> <PATH_TO_COMIC>
```
To process an existing folder without downloading anything, use the `process` command.
```
mandown process <PROCESS_OPERATIONS> <PATH_TO_FOLDER>
```
Where `PROCESS_OPERATIONS` is an option found from running `mandown process --help`.
