Frequently asked questions

What is a .djvu file?

A format optimized for scanned documents and books, achieving smaller file sizes than PDF for scanned page images.

Can I edit a .djvu file?

Not directly as text — .djvu is a runnable or packaged format, not one meant for manual editing.

Does having a .djvu extension mean the file is safe?

No single extension can guarantee that. Plain documents are generally low-risk to view. If the format supports macros or embedded scripts, keep them disabled unless you specifically expect and trust them. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
