What is a .CBA file?
CBA is a comic book packed in an ACE archive.
- Did you know
- CBA is a rarer comic format using the old ACE compression.
- The final letter of a comic archive names its container, so CBA is built on the proprietary ACE compression format.
- ACE support was dropped by WinRAR after serious flaws were found in its unace library, leaving the CBA format effectively orphaned.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more document, e-book and publishing files: Scribus (.sla/.scd version, pages, fonts), MS Works and Windows Write, Word 97 templates (.dot), StarOffice 5.x binary docs, Shanda Bambook and Sony BBeB (.lrf/.lrx) e-books, FrameMaker, document templates and legacy PageMaker.
- Depth of analysis
- .CBA is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .CBA file
- Drag a .CBA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
