Comic Book Archive

A comic book archive is a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, commonly for comic books or manga.

The filename extension indicates the archive type used:

  • .cb77z
  • .cba → ACE
  • .cbr → RAR
  • .cbtTAR
  • .cbzZIP

Comic book archive files mainly consist of a series of image files with specific naming, typically PNG (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression, not JPEG-LS or JPEG XT) files, stored as a single archive file. Occasionally GIF, BMP, and TIFF files are seen. Folders may be used to group images in a more logical layout within the archive, like book chapters.
