DjVu is a hierarchical image compression technology for distributing documents and images with ultra high compression ratio. Under the same quality level, it has only about 1/10 file size of PDF. It was developed by AT&T Labs in 1996 and enables the high-quality scanned images of almost any traditional printed materials to be transferred through Internet at a very high speed.
Two major advantages of DjVu:
- Can compress 500+ MB of high-definition magazine file to about 10 MB (even smaller), without any quality loss
- Because it thoroughly changed the way of traditional Internet transmission, when browsing DjVu format of documents, you will find it's even faster than opening a web page
