Drop CBR files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Press Convert. There is nothing else to set. The work happens in this tab.
Save the ZIP, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The CBR to ZIP converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your comic books are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
CBR depends on RAR, which many tools can read but few can write. ZIP opens on every computer and phone without extra software. CBR is at home in digital comics and manga; ZIP is the usual choice for sending several files as one.
A password-protected archive is refused, since its contents cannot be read without the password.
A CBR is a RAR archive of page images. It is the same idea as a CBZ, but RAR is a proprietary format that only WinRAR may create, so CBZ has become the more portable choice. Many comic downloads are still CBR.
Opens in Comic readers such as YACReader, CDisplay and Calibre

No. The CBR to ZIP conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
The content is carried over as faithfully as ZIP allows; features that ZIP does not have are left out.

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the CBR file, press Convert and save the ZIP. There is nothing to install.
Yes. An archive can be up to 500 MB, unpack to at most 1 GB and hold up to 50,000 files; beyond those limits the page says so. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
