Format Details
TAR
TAR (Tape ARchive) is a Unix file archiving format that bundles multiple files and directories into a single file while preserving file permissions, ownership, timestamps, and symbolic links. Crucially, TAR performs no compression by itself and is almost always paired with a compression tool such as gzip, bzip2, or xz. TAR is the foundational packaging format for software distribution, backups, and data transfer throughout the Unix and Linux ecosystem.
CBZ
CBZ (Comic Book ZIP) is a comic book archive format that packages page images in a standard ZIP archive with the .cbz extension, making it easy to create without specialized software. It is similar to CBR but uses the open ZIP format rather than the proprietary RAR format, improving compatibility with e-reader devices and applications. CBZ is supported by Kindle, Kobo, and most dedicated comic reader applications.
