Drop CBR comics here

or browse your files

Files never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser, nothing touches a server — tools you've used even work offline.

Convert CBR comics to PDF entirely in your browser — the RAR is unpacked locally, then JPEG and PNG pages embed into the PDF byte-for-byte, one page per image. Nothing is uploaded; the comic never leaves your device.

How it works

  1. Drop files anywhere on the page, click to browse, or paste with ⌘V.
  2. Pick a quality or preset — or set an exact target size and let the tool find it.
  3. Compress, compare before/after, and download — individually or as a ZIP.

From RAR straight to PDF

CBR is a RAR archive, a proprietary format many devices cannot open. This converter reads the RAR with an in-browser extraction engine, sorts the pages filename-naturally (page2 before page10, the order comic readers use), and builds a PDF where each page carries its image untouched — JPEG bytes embed verbatim, PNG pixels re-wrap losslessly, nothing is re-encoded. WebP or GIF pages take one re-encode to JPEG at your chosen quality, since PDF has no native encoding for them.

The result reads anywhere a PDF reads: phones, tablets, e-readers, print. To stay in the comic-archive world instead, CBR to CBZ converts the container losslessly.

Limits worth knowing

Password-protected CBRs are not supported — extract them first with Extract RAR, then create a PDF from the images. The PDF is assembled in browser memory, so comics whose pages sum past 1 GB are refused with a clear message rather than crashing the tab; split those and convert the parts. Expect the PDF to be roughly the archive’s size — pages are embedded, not recompressed.

Frequently asked questions

Does the image quality change?

Not for JPEG and PNG pages — JPEG bytes embed verbatim and PNG pixels carry over exactly. Only WebP and GIF pages are re-encoded to JPEG, at the quality you set.

Do I need RAR software installed?

No — the RAR is unpacked by an extraction engine running inside the page, so it works on any device with a browser, including ones that cannot open CBR at all.

What about password-protected CBRs?

They are refused with an honest message. Extract the archive with Extract RAR (which supports passwords) and then convert the images.

Is it private?

Yes. Archives are built and converted entirely in your browser — neither the archive nor the files inside it are ever uploaded, and any password you set is applied locally. The server does nothing but deliver this page. Want proof? Run one file through, switch your connection off, and run another — it still works.
