Open a DjVu file (no special reader needed)
Turn the .djvu into a PDF and open it anywhere.
You downloaded a .djvu file and nothing on your computer or phone opens it. Instead of installing a niche DjVu reader, convert it to PDF once: the result opens in every browser, phone and PDF app you already have. The conversion runs locally in this page, so the file is not uploaded anywhere.
How to open a DjVu file
- 1
Drop the .djvu file
Add the file that would not open.
- 2
Convert to PDF
Every page is rendered into a PDF on your device.
- 3
Open it anywhere
Download the PDF and open it with anything, or print it.
Why convert instead of installing a reader
A DjVu reader helps only on the machine it is installed on. Converting to PDF fixes the problem everywhere at once, including your phone, and this way the file stays private while you do it.
Got several DjVu files?
Convert each one to PDF, then combine them into a single document, chapters of the same book, issues of the same journal, so you only have one file to keep and search.
Frequently asked questions
Why won’t my computer open DjVu?+
DjVu is a 1990s scanned-document format that mainstream apps and phones never adopted. PDF took its place, which is why converting is the practical fix.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. The converter runs in your browser; there is no app, extension or reader to install.
Is the file uploaded to convert it?+
No. It is decoded on your device, so it works even offline.
What about .djv files?+
.djv is the same format with a shorter extension; drop it in the same way.
