Frequently Asked Questions
What does this actually change?
Only the file extension. A CBR file already is a RAR archive — the .cbr extension exists purely to tell comic readers what the contents represent. Renaming to .rar makes general archive tools treat it as an ordinary archive. The bytes are unchanged.
Why would I want to do this?
Usually so a program that filters by extension will accept the file: an archive manager, a backup tool, or an upload form that rejects unfamiliar extensions. It is also handy when you want to open the archive and pull out individual pages.
Is this reversible?
Completely. Rename it back to .cbr, or use the RAR to CBR tool, and comic readers will recognise it again. Nothing about the archive itself was modified.
Could I just rename the file myself?
Yes, and on a desktop that is the fastest route. This tool exists mainly for mobile and locked-down systems where changing a file extension is awkward or hidden, and it verifies the archive is genuinely RAR-based before renaming.
Does this let me edit the pages?
Not directly — you would still need RAR software to unpack it. To pull the pages out in the browser, use the CBR extractor instead.
