CBR is a comic archive built on the RAR format - the pages sit as individual image files inside the archive, usually JPEG or PNG. Practical for a comic reader, but awkward as soon as you need the pages elsewhere: to print, to read without a special app, or to archive in a universal format. This tool reads your CBR completely and places each page as its own page in a PDF.

The unpacking runs through a real, in-browser RAR read engine (libarchive, BSD-licensed - no proprietary unrar needed) that understands RAR 4 and RAR 5 alike. Pages are sorted into natural filename order before being embedded into the PDF - this matters because some archives store their entries internally in a different order than the filenames suggest. Each image page is embedded full-bleed: the PDF page takes the exact pixel dimensions of the image.

Everything runs entirely locally in your browser - no upload, usable offline too. Honestly framed: PNG and JPEG pages are embedded, by far the most common in comic archives; other image formats and metadata files like ComicInfo.xml are skipped. If an archive holds no embeddable image page, or is password-protected or damaged, the conversion stops with a clear message rather than producing an empty PDF.

In 3 steps

  1. Drop or tap your CBR file.
  2. The tool reads the RAR archive and orders the pages into reading order.
  3. Download the PDF (several CBR produce several PDFs).

Limitations: Reads a CBR (RAR archive, version 4 and 5) and converts it to a PDF: one image per PDF page, in natural filename order, full-bleed at the original pixel size. PNG and JPEG pages are embedded; other image formats and metadata files are skipped. Password-protected CBR files are clearly rejected as "password-protected". A genuinely damaged archive, or one with no embeddable image page at all, is likewise clearly rejected.

FAQ

Are my files uploaded?

No. The unpacking and PDF build happen entirely locally in the browser - even offline.

Is the page order correct?

Yes. Pages are sorted numerically by filename before embedding, independent of how the archive stores them internally.

Is image quality lost?

No. The original images are embedded unchanged, not re-compressed.

What happens with a password-protected CBR?

It is clearly detected and rejected as password-protected, instead of being mishandled.
