webtoon-dl

Download webtoon comics as PDF or CBZ using a terminal/command line.

Usage

# download single episodes
webtoon-dl "<your-webtoon-episode-url>"

# download entire series, default 10 episodes per pdf
webtoon-dl "<your-webtoon-series-url>"

# download as cbz (default is pdf)
webtoon-dl --format cbz "<your-webtoon-series-url>"

# specify a range of episodes (inclusive on both ends)
webtoon-dl --min-ep=10 --max-ep=20 "<your-webtoon-series-url>"

# change the number of episodes per file, e.g. this would create 11 files
webtoon-dl --min-ep=10 --max-ep=20 --eps-per-file=1 "<your-webtoon-series-url>"

# download entire series into a single file (GENERALLY NOT RECOMMENDED)
webtoon-dl --eps-per-file=1000000 "<your-webtoon-series-url>"

Important

The episode numbers specified in --min-ep and --max-ep will correspond to the URL parameter &episode_no=, which may be different from the episode number in the title

Important

Some terminal settings (e.g. Oh My Zsh) make it so pasted URLs will be automatically escaped. You want to EITHER surround your unescaped webtoon URL with double quotes (otherwise you'll get something like a "no matches found" error) OR leave the double quotes off escaped URLs. So either of these will work:

• webtoon-dl "https://www.webtoons.com/.../list?title_no=123"
• webtoon-dl https://www.webtoons.com/.../list\?title_no\=123

But this won't work:

• webtoon-dl "https://www.webtoons.com/.../list\?title_no\=123"
