| Description | A .cbr file is a specific type of compressed file format intended to store a series of comic book images. These images are arranged sequentially in a specific order, and the display options can be tweaked to create the effect of double-page spreads, just like flipping through a traditional comic book. |
| Technical details | The CBR file format typically contains images in JPEG or PNG formats, compressed using the RAR archiving method. Occasionally, CBR files may also contain images in other formats such as GIF, TIFF, and BMP. Because of RAR compression, certain applications can view CBR files without needing standard decompression. Metadata and formatting details are contained in embedded XML files. |
