How to open cbr files

Maybe at some point we have reached our hands a file that has a somewhat strange extension and we do not know exactly how to handle it. We are talking about cbr files that are nothing more than compressed files that usually contain comics or sequences of images. Let's see how we can access the cbr files.

The first option we have to unzip the cbr files is none other than the use of some specific software for it. It should be noted, first of all, that the most common file compression / decompression software, such as winrar or winzip, can not decompress these files.

We can therefore use some specific software such as GonVisor . The use is very simple, just download the program and install it on our computer and, later, select the file or files that we want to unzip and point to where on our computer we want to save the decompressed files.

However, there is still another option to unzip cbr files and that does not require the installation of additional software. We have indicated that neither winrar nor winzip can unzip files with cbr extension, however that is not exactly the case, since there is a curious alternative to decompress these files with our usual programs. The alternative is to change the extension of the cbr file, rename it with a rar or zip extension, and then decompress it with the corresponding program, winrar or winzip.

Finally we can not stop citing the CDisplay software that will allow directly open this type of file and see the comic or the sequence of images it contains, without having to perform any previous decompression. In this sense it would be a cbr file viewer .
