Convert CBR to CBZ

A comic reader app, particularly on iOS or Android, will not open CBR files because it has no RAR decoder.

    What actually changes

    CBR and CBZ are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    Only the archive format. The pages inside, ordinary JPEGs or PNGs, are extracted and repacked into a ZIP. The images themselves are not touched or re-compressed.

    Worth knowing first

    Page order comes entirely from filename sorting, and it breaks on files numbered without leading zeros. Page 10 sorts before page 2 in almost every reader, so a badly named CBR converts into a CBZ with the same wrong order.

    Questions

    CBR to CBZ, answered

    Is any image quality lost?

    None. The files are copied, not re-encoded.

    Why is CBZ better supported?

    ZIP is free and every platform has a decoder. RAR's decompressor is proprietary, so many mobile readers omit it.
