CBR

Comic Book RAR

CBR is CBZ with a RAR archive instead of a ZIP. RAR is a proprietary format, so CBR support is patchier and converting to CBZ is usually worth doing once.

Extension: .cbr
MIME type: application/vnd.comicbook-rar

Opening a .cbr file

If you landed here because something handed you a .cbr file and nothing on your machine will open it, converting it to a format you already have a reader for is usually faster than installing new software. Every conversion above runs in this browser — the file is not uploaded, so it works on a locked-down work machine and on a file you are not allowed to send anywhere.
