 The format is fairly simple. First you take the scanned images of each page of the comic (usually in [[PNG]] or [[JPEG]], but [[TIFF]], [[GIF]], and [[BMP]] have been used) and give them filenames that sort in order of the page number (e.g., 0001.png, 0002.png, etc.). Then compress them into an archive using [[ZIP]], [[RAR]], [[Tape Archive|TAR]], [[ACE]], or [[7z]]. Finally, change the file extension to signify a comic book archive:
