DjVu is a web-centric format and software platform for distributing
documents and images.
DjVu can advantageously replace PDF, PS, TIFF, JPEG, and GIF for distributing
scanned documents, digital documents, or high-resolution pictures.
DjVu content downloads faster, displays and renders faster, looks nicer
on a screen, and consume less client resources than competing formats.
DjVu images display instantly and can be smoothly zoomed and panned with no
lengthy re-rendering. DjVu is used by hundreds of academic, commercial,
governmental, and non-commercial web sites around the world.
DjVuLibre is an open source (GPL'ed) implementation of DjVu,
including viewers, browser plugins, decoders, simple encoders,
and utilities. http://djvulibre.djvuzone.org/
