Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert DjVu to PDF?
Upload: Drag & drop your DjVu file into the toolbox above.
Wait: Our engine automatically extracts the text layer and optimizes the images.
Download: In moments, your searchable PDF is ready to download.
How do I open a DjVu file?
The fastest way is to convert the file to PDF using our tool above. DjVu files are specialized documents that most devices cannot open, but converting to PDF gives you immediate access without installing new software.
If you prefer to download a dedicated viewer, you can use these industry-standard tools:
- Desktop: WinDjView (Windows) or DjView (macOS).
- Mobile: ReadEra (Android) or DjVu Reader (iOS).
Why is this DjVu to PDF converter better than others?
DjVu files actually contain a hidden text layer. Most other converters skip this and just take a "screenshot" of each page, creating blurry files that are impossible to search. We don't. Instead we convert DjVu to PDF using Multi-Layer Extraction to surgically separate the text from the background. This preserves the original sharpness and ensures your result is fully searchable and copy-pasteable.
Will my PDF be text-searchable?
Yes, provided the original DjVu contains a text layer. We transfer the native data structure 1:1.
Note: If the original was a flat scan with no embedded OCR, the PDF will remain a flat scan.

Why is the resulting PDF larger than the DjVu?
Since DjVu is inherently more efficient than PDF, a file size increase is unavoidable. However, we avoid the massive bloat common in competitor tools. Instead of "one-size-fits-all" settings, we dynamically adjust compression parameters based on the file you submit. We calculate the unique "sweet spot" for each document to balance visual quality and file size, utilizing JBIG2 for black-and-white content to keep files manageable.
Will images from the original DjVu look blurry in the PDF?
Not at all. We prioritize image fidelity. When performing a DjVu to PDF conversion, our engine is specifically tuned to preserve the sharpness of your original file. This ensures that even fine details—such as charts, mathematical diagrams, and small footnotes—remain crisp and readable in the final document.
