DjVu (pronounced "déjà vu") is an image compression technology developed at AT&T Labs and commercialized by LizardTech. DjVu allows Internet distribution of high resolution images of scanned documents, digital documents, and photographs.
DjVu format was expressly designed to handle documents with a mix of text and grayscale or color images such as photos. Documents files are much smaller, and therefore faster to load, than other formats such as PDF, JPEG or PNG.
To view DjVu formatted documents:
