Directory of Comic Book Files Resources

Home > Computers > Software > Graphics > Viewers > Comic Book Files

Applications listed in this category are specialized in Comic Book Archive files which consist of a series of image files archived most commonly in ZIP and RAR formats but also, although more rarely, in TAR or ACE file formats, with the filename extension renamed to .cbz, .cbr, .cbt and .cba respectively. Therefore CBZ and CBR formats are just renamed Zip and Rar files. These files typically contain PNG or JPEG files. Occasionally static GIF, BMP, and TIFF are also seen.
