RB to OTB conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the RB format into the OTB ebook container, preserving readable text, metadata, and layout where possible. This conversion repackages the source content into the OTB structure and can include options for compression and compatibility settings to ensure the resulting file works with OTB-compatible readers and library tools.

RB files are typically used in specialized applications with limited compatibility, while OTB files are more universally supported across platforms. The OTB format often provides better compression and additional metadata support compared to RB. Choosing OTB over RB can improve usability and integration with modern tools.
Keep individual RB files under 50–200 MB for optimal browser-based conversion speed; very large files increase processing time and memory use.
To preserve layout and image clarity, choose a lossless OTB output and avoid automatic image downsampling; enable "preserve embedded fonts" if available.
For many small RB files, use batch conversion to convert multiple ebooks in one job; group files by similar target settings to avoid repeated manual steps.
Note format-specific limitations: if the RB contains proprietary DRM or uncommon embedded scripts, conversion may fail or strip protected content; remove DRM or use authorized export first.
