| Comic Book Archive Format Or ComicBook Reader Format | N/A | Compressed Files |
CBZ (Comic Book Archive file) or .cbr (ComicBook Reader file) is a container file format used for the transfer and archiving of digital comic books. The CBZ format specification is based on the ZIP utility, which allows multiple files, images, text, etc. to be compressed into a single entity in order to obtain smaller storage capacity and faster data transfer. Due to its ZIP based construction, this popular file type ensures that the issue's contents are presented in an acceptable manner when read by CBR (ComicBook Reader), which usually supports both the CBZ and CBR file formats. Furthermore, these files can also be opened and viewed in other image viewing software such as Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, XnView, GIMP, or simply extracted by using any ZIP utility software.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CBZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CBZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CBZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CBZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CBZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CBZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CBZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CBZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CBZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CBZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
