Understanding CBR and JPG file formats

CBR (Comic Book RAR) is a file format used for the distribution of comic books. It is essentially a compressed archive file that contains a series of images, typically in JPEG or PNG format, which are displayed in sequence to form the pages of a comic book. The CBR format is popular among comic book enthusiasts for its ease of use and ability to store multiple images in a single file.

JPG (or JPEG) is a widely-used image format known for its lossy compression, which significantly reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. JPG files are commonly used for digital photography and web graphics due to their balance of quality and file size.

How to convert CBR to JPG

Converting a CBR file to JPG involves extracting the images from the CBR archive and saving them in the JPG format. This process allows you to access individual comic book pages as separate image files, which can be useful for editing or sharing specific pages.
