A .CB7 file is a comic bundle stored in a 7-Zip container, consisting of sequentially named JPG/PNG/WebP pages plus possible metadata files, and comic apps use the naming to determine page order; unsupported apps may need the archive converted to CBZ, and legitimate CB7 files should simply unpack like a typical 7z containing cleanly ordered images.
The “reading order” is important because an archive cannot decide order, meaning filenames must be padded (`001`, `002`, `010`) to avoid issues like `10` sorting before `2`; essentially a CB7 is a standard 7z archive containing image pages under a comic-oriented extension, making comics portable, tidy, and easy to read in dedicated apps that support page navigation, double-spreads, metadata like `ComicInfo.xml`, and library management, while bundling keeps pages together and offers light compression and optional security.
Inside a .CB7 file you’ll generally see page images arranged for reading, typically JPG/PNG/WebP numbered in order (`001.jpg`, `002.jpg`, etc.), sometimes split by chapter folders, plus a cover image and metadata like `ComicInfo.xml`, while stray items such as `Thumbs.db` may appear but are harmless; however, `.exe` or script files signal danger, and opening is done either through a comic app or by extracting it like a standard 7z archive with 7-Zip/Keka/p7zip.
A quick way to check whether a .CB7 file is legitimate is by opening it with 7-Zip and checking for the standard comic image layout, often with a `cover.jpg` and optional `ComicInfo.xml`; any presence of `.exe`, `.cmd`, `.
