A CBR is a RAR archive of page images (RAR4 or RAR5, solid archives included) — extracted on this device with a WASM decoder, pages sorted in natural order (page 2 before page 10), nested folders read in order, and ComicInfo.xml, text notes and macOS entries skipped. Every image downloads byte-for-byte, exactly as stored — no re-encoding, no quality loss. HEIC and TIFF pages cannot be previewed in most browsers, so they show a “preview unavailable” note — they still download byte-for-byte. CBZ (ZIP) archives go to the CBZ to EPUB converter; multi-part volumes and encrypted archives are refused.

    No files yet. Everything stays on this device. Downloads start instantly.

    Privacy you can verify, not just trust

    Most online CBR tools upload your comics to their servers first — and some keep a download link live for 30 days, or cap free conversions at a few per month. This one can't: each image is pulled out of your archive bytes entirely in your browser. Your file data never leaves the device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views — and it uploads nothing, ever. There is no file fetched after load for the extraction itself. Don't take our word for it:

    New cross-origin requests during use: 0
    1. Press F12 to open developer tools, then the Network tab.
    2. Extract any archive above. Watch: apart from the site's analytics, nothing new is requested — no uploads, and no file data ever leaves your device.
    3. Extra credit: disconnect your internet after this page loads — extraction still works.

    How to extract images from a CBR without uploading it

    Every "free" online CBR tool you've used uploads your comic to a company server, extracts it there, and — in several documented cases — keeps a copy or a live download link for days, or limits free users to a few conversions a month. For comics you bought, scanned yourself, or simply wouldn't post publicly, that's an unnecessary risk. The safer approach is to extract the file where it already is: on your own device.

    This tool does exactly that. When you drop a CBR here, your browser:

    1. Checks the file is really a RAR archive — by its magic bytes, not its name — so a JPEG renamed .cbr is refused with a clear message, a ZIP file is refused with a pointer at the CBZ to EPUB converter, and a multi-part volume or an encrypted archive is refused with an explanation instead of a cryptic error. A real archive saved with the wrong extension still extracts, and both RAR4 and RAR5 archives are read.
    2. Extracts it in memory with a WASM decoder and sorts the pages in natural order — page 2 before page 10 — reading nested folders in order and skipping ComicInfo.xml, text notes, macOS entries and hidden files, listing everything it skipped on the archive card. Solid archives, where every file shares one compression stream, extract the same way.
    3. Hands you the originals — download one image and it keeps its original filename; download the archive as a ZIP and every image is renamed page-01, page-02 and so on in reading order. Nothing is re-encoded, rasterized or resized at any point: the bytes you download are the bytes that were stored in the archive.

    What makes this extractor different

    Most pages that top the results for this search convert on a server, or turn the archive into something else — an EPUB, a PDF, a different archive — instead of handing you the page images themselves. The desktop options are installs, not browser tools. This page does the simpler job, and does it fully in the browser: no upload, no monthly cap, no account, no 10 MB limit, a batch of 20 archives, RAR4 and RAR5 plus solid archives, original filenames on per-image downloads, sequential names in the ZIP, and a live network-request counter so you can verify the privacy claim yourself.

    Honest limitations

    Verbatim means verbatim — no quality recovery

    JPEG throws away detail when it compresses, and extracting cannot put it back. But nothing is lost either: the source bytes download unchanged, in every format. There is no quality setting because there is nothing to re-encode.

    Metadata stays in the files

    Extraction copies the stored bytes, so EXIF and other metadata inside each image is kept — including location data, if the image has any. ComicInfo.xml and text notes inside the archive are skipped, and listed on the card, but the images themselves are untouched. Strip metadata yourself before sharing a page publicly.

    HEIC and TIFF previews

    Most browsers cannot display HEIC or TIFF images, so those pages show a “preview unavailable in this browser — download to view” note instead of a broken image. The files still download byte-for-byte and open fine in any image viewer that supports them.

    Animated GIFs keep their animation

    Nothing is rasterized, so an animated GIF downloads with all its frames intact. That is the one place this extractor differs most from an EPUB converter, which can only keep a still image per page.

    Original names vs sequential names

    Per-image downloads keep the original filename from inside the archive. ZIP downloads rename every image page-01, page-02 and so on (with the original extension) in reading order, so the images always open in page order — the combined ZIP puts each archive in its own folder.

    Multi-part, encrypted, CBZ and CB7 archives

    A multi-part volume (.part1.rar) cannot extract on its own — join the parts first. Password-protected (encrypted) archives are refused, and the page never asks for a password. CBZ is a ZIP archive and CB7 is a 7z archive — neither opens here; rename a CBZ to .zip and open it with any unzip tool.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do my comics upload anywhere?

    No. Your CBR archives are extracted entirely in your browser — your file data never leaves the device, and the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views. You can verify it yourself with the network-request counter in the privacy section below the extractor.

    What is a CBR file, and how is it different from a CBZ?

    A CBR file is a RAR archive whose entries are page images; a CBZ is the same idea built on ZIP. The two formats need different readers, so this page handles CBR only — drop a ZIP-based CBZ here and it is refused with a pointer at the CBZ to EPUB converter, which reads ZIP archives. Files are checked by their magic bytes, not their name, so a real archive named .txt still extracts and a JPEG renamed .cbr is refused.

    Does it support RAR4 and RAR5 archives?

    Yes — both generations. RAR5 is the current format (WinRAR 5 and later); RAR4 is the older format (WinRAR 4 and earlier). The page reads the archive's own magic bytes to tell them apart and extracts either one, including solid archives, where all the files share one compression stream. If you are unsure which yours is, just drop it in — both extract the same way.

    What about multi-part (.part1.rar) archives?

    A multi-part archive is one comic split across several files — .part1.rar, .part2.rar and so on — and a single part cannot be extracted on its own, because the pages are spread across the parts. Join all the parts into a single .rar first (your desktop unrar tool does this), then extract the joined archive here. The extractor refuses a part with a clear message instead of a cryptic error.

    Can I extract a password-protected CBR?

    No. Password-protected (encrypted) archives are refused — including archives whose headers are encrypted, so the file list itself is hidden. The page never asks for a password and has nowhere to enter one. Remove the password with your desktop unrar tool first, then extract the unprotected archive here.

    Are the images re-encoded, or do I get the originals?

    You get the originals. Every page image downloads byte-for-byte exactly as stored in the archive — no re-encoding, no rasterization, no quality setting, no quality loss. A JPEG that was compressed when the CBR was made stays exactly that JPEG; nothing is lost, and nothing can be recovered either. Per-image downloads keep the original filename; ZIP downloads use sequential names (page-01.jpg, page-02.jpg, …) in reading order.

    How are the pages ordered — and what about nested folders?

    Pages are sorted in natural order, so page2 comes before page10 (plain alphabetical order would put page10 first). Archives with pages inside nested folders are read in folder order, and you can reorder images on each archive card before downloading. The ZIP names the images page-01, page-02 and so on in that order.

    What should I do with a CBZ file?

    A CBZ is a ZIP archive, not a RAR archive, so this page refuses it. Rename it to .zip and open it with any unzip tool to get the images out, or read it as a book with the CBZ to EPUB converter, which reads ZIP archives the same way this page reads RAR archives.

    Original filenames or sequential names — which do I get?

    Both, depending on how you download. A per-image download keeps the original filename from inside the archive. A ZIP download renames every image page-01, page-02 and so on (with the original extension) in reading order, so the images always open in page order — and the combined ZIP puts each archive in its own folder.
