The format called DjVu (pronounced deja-vu) is designed primarily to store scanned images. It is characterized by incorporating advanced technologies enabling high-quality images to be stored in a minimum of space.
DjVu is an open standard, in fact, the format specifications, as well as the sources of the encoder, are available to users. It uses compression in its separation of layers of images, progressive loading, arithmetic coding and compression without loss to imagery bitonal (two colors).
DjVu compression typically reaches about relations between 5 and 10 times smaller than the JPEG and GIF formats for documents in color, and between 3 and 8 times the TIFF format for documents in black and white.
It is ideal for the Web because of its progressive nature, this means that displays an image just starts downloading and uploading measure that is the visual quality of the image will improve. It is presented as an alternative to PDF, and now exceeds this format in most of the scanned documents.
To view your browser files. DjVu from the Internet or open them from your hard disk, you must install "DjVu Browser Plug-in"
This is the official link to download a Windows version that works with IE and Firefox, a MAC version that works with Safari or a version for Unix
