What is a CBA file?

CBA files mostly belong to GonVisor Image Viewer by GonVisor. The CBA file extension is a comic book archive or comic book reader file created using WinACE.

Main Usage: CBA files are used to store groups of images, such as PNG or JPG files, which can be viewed as a comic book using an appropriate program. The image files contained in the archive are specifically named to allow comic book viewers to identify the order in which they are meant to be read. Optionally, metadata may be stored in an XML file contained within the archive. Similar file extensions are CB7, CBR, CBT, and CBZ which use the 7Z, RAR, TAR, and ZIP archive types, respectively. These file types are also used by comic book archive files, they only differ by the archiving algorithm used to create them.
Support: This extension is supported across most popular operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux. CBA files can be extracted with any program that supports ACE files. The contents of a CBA file can be viewed with a supported comic book reader, such as Comic Seer for Windows and Linux, and Simple Comic for MacOS.

CBA file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. In the following you will find our evaluation of the CBA files:
