Open CBR File

CBR files get their name from the first letters of phrase "Comic Book", accompanied by R, which refers to the compression format it uses (R for RAR).

The main objective of the CBR extension is to make it clear that the file you are manipulating is a comic.

Typically, a CBR file saves the comic pages ordered from first to last in JPG or PNG format.

With a program like 7-Zip, which is 100% free and open source, it is possible to unzip it and be able to access the images directly, although there are also many programs designed exclusively to open CBR files.

Below is a list of programs which can open and work on a CBR file:

Ehon

Ehon is one of the most used programs. It has the advantage that it also allows you to manage large libraries, making it especially useful for collectors.
