Convert a CBR comic to PDF

Convert a CBR file into a PDF with one image per page, directly in your browser.

Processed on your device via WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to any server.

or click to select it

Extracts the CBR's pages with the RAR engine, sorts them naturally (1, 2, 10, not 1, 10, 2) and generates a PDF with one page per image, without rescaling them beyond what's needed. No OCR: the resulting PDF is images, not selectable text.

Use cases

  • Share a comic as PDF with someone who doesn't have a CBR reader.
  • Archive a comic in a universal format.
  • Print the pages of a comic.

Technical details

  • It opens the CBR with the official UnRAR code compiled to WebAssembly (RAR4 and RAR5) and turns each image (JPG, PNG, WEBP or GIF, in natural order) into a page the size of the image.
  • JPGs and PNGs go into the PDF without recompression; WEBP and GIF are converted to PNG because PDF doesn't support them.
  • Many .cbr files are actually renamed ZIPs: this is detected from the content and they convert just the same. A password-protected CBR can't be converted here; open it first with Extract RAR.
  • Limits: 50 MB of input, 2,000 entries and 300 MB uncompressed.

Frequently asked questions
