How it works
Drop your .djvu file
A scanned book, a paper, a library download. It is decoded on the spot by a WebAssembly DjVu decoder in this tab. Nothing is uploaded, ever; you can watch the Network tab and see no file bytes leave.
Read it page by page
Flip pages with the arrows or jump straight to a page number. Fit the page to your window or zoom into real pixels. If the file carries an OCR text layer, expand it under the page and copy text out.
Export to PDF if you need to
Every page renders at 150 DPI (screen) or 300 DPI (print) straight into a PDF that downloads from your browser. Free exports cover the first 3 pages; a one-time license unlocks the whole document.
Simple pricing
The viewer and 3-page exports are free. A one-time license unlocks full exports.

Frequently asked questions
What is a .djvu file?
DjVu is a document format built for scanned pages: it compresses the text layer separately from the background image, so a full scanned book is often a tenth the size of the same book as PDF. Libraries, the Internet Archive and old document-management systems used it heavily in the 2000s — which is why you mostly meet it as a download that nothing on a modern computer will open.
How do I view a .djvu file online?
Drag the .djvu file into the box above (or click "Choose .djvu file"). The document is decoded in your browser tab by a WebAssembly decoder and rendered onto the page — use the arrows to flip pages, zoom to fit or to real pixels, and open the text layer when the file carries one. No upload, no account, no plugin.
Where do .djvu files come from?
Almost always from scanning projects: public-domain book scans (the Internet Archive's older collections), university library digitization, Russian and French scientific paper archives, and enterprise document systems of the 2000s. If someone sent you one, it is probably a scan of a paper or a book chapter.
Can I copy text out of a .djvu document?
When the file carries a text layer (OCR'd books usually do), yes — expand the text pane under the page and copy from it. Purely scanned pages without OCR have no text to extract; for those, export the page to PDF and run your own OCR.
What's free and what does a license unlock?
Free, forever: viewing any .djvu document page by page, with zoom and text layer, and PDF export of the first 3 pages at 150 DPI. A one-time license (3-month $9.99 or lifetime $19.99) unlocks full-document PDF exports at 150 or 300 DPI. No subscription either way.
Is it safe to view my document here?
Yes — by construction. The file is decoded entirely by JavaScript and WebAssembly running in your browser; it is never transmitted. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools (Network tab), load a file, and watch — no file bytes are sent anywhere. The only requests this site makes are page loads, an anonymous usage counter (counts only, never content), and license validation for paid users. Details in the privacy policy.
