The CBR format is widely used in the world of comics and manga. Since these books, unlike textbooks, consist largely of images, a different format is the standard for digitisation. However, not every e-book reader can open CBR files directly. To ensure the best possible compatibility on all devices, converting to PDF format is a good option.

Details about the CBR format

CBR stands for Comic Book RAR and is technically based on the RAR archive of the same name with a modified file extension. Inside the RAR archive are images, mostly JPG or PNG files, which are displayed in alphabetical order as PAGES. The format was created to bundle comics and other illustrated books in a space-saving way and to display the page order. Technically closely related is the CBZ format, which is based on ZIP instead of RAR.

E-book formats in comparison

Format	Basis	Typical content	Compatibility
CBR	RAR archive	Comics, manga	Special reader required
CBZ	ZIP archive	Comics, manga	Wider than CBR
PDF	Proprietary format	Documents, comics, books	Universal
EPUB	ZIP with HTML/XML	E-books (continuous text)	Most e-readers
MOBI	Proprietary format	E-books (continuous text)	Primarily Kindle

How does the conversion work technically?

During conversion, the individual pages of the CBR archive are extracted and reassembled in the specified order as individual pages in the PDF. The quality and resolution of the input files are retained in full.
