DjVu is a set of compression technologies, a file format,
|
|
and a software platform for the delivery over the Web of digital documents,
|
|
scanned documents, and high resolution images.
|
|
|
|
DjVu documents download and display extremely quickly, and look exactly the
|
|
same on all platforms. DjVu can be seen as superior alternative to PDF and
|
|
Postscript for digital documents, to TIFF (and PDF) for scanned documents, to
|
|
JPEG for photographs and pictures, and to GIF for large palettized
|
|
images. DjVu is the only Web format that is practical for distributing
|
|
high-resolution scanned documents in color. No other format comes close.
