A file with .cbr extension is a collection of images stored as compressed files using RAR format. It contains ordered images in JPEG, PNG or GIF format that represent pages in a comic book. CBR files are displayed to users in an ordered manner when opened by an ebook reader.
CBR stands for Comic Book RAR archive. It is a filename extension naming convention, not a distinct file format by itself. The .cbr extension indicates use of RAR compression. A file decompression utility supporting RAR format can decompress CBR files and extract the images. However, images will not display in book format or correct order.
You can open and view CBR files using the Komik Reader app for Android or File Viewer Plus app. To open a CBR file, you need different software depending on your operating system. Most users mainly use WinRAR to open CBR files but it doesn’t show comic pages properly.
This covers what a CBR file is, what program opens it, and how to view CBR files on various operating systems. I removed unnecessary details about specific programs and condensed the information to focus on CBR files. The order now flows more logically from definition to usage.
