This product is a free, open-source DjVu file reader for Windows, similar in purpose to a PDF reader
Features:
WinDjView opens DjVu documents quickly and displays scanned pages crisply, completely free of charge.
DjVu is an image-based document format used for scanned books and papers, and this software displays such files quickly and crisply. It is easy to download, install and use. Its toolbar and menus will feel familiar to anyone who has used a PDF reader, and it is free. It has a pleasing design that allows even a beginner to navigate it with ease. The design of the software allows a novice user to open a document and start reading right away. Text can be searched and copied when the document has a text layer, and custom bookmarks and annotations can be added to pages. Pages can be exported as BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF or JPEG images, rotated in 90-degree steps and printed with advanced print options. Dictionaries can be connected to translate words under the mouse pointer, and brightness, contrast and gamma can be adjusted for poor scans. The program also offers a full-screen mode, several zoom options and color, grayscale, foreground and background display modes. It downloads and installs very quickly and you will be up and running in no time. It is also not a huge program so it takes up little space on your hard drive. It is easy to learn and use. It suits anyone who deals with DjVu files for business or for personal projects such as archiving photos and documents for historical purposes or data collection. The last release, version 2.1, came out in 2015 and officially supports Windows XP through Windows 10. The program has not received updates since then, but it remains a popular DjVu viewer. For people who scan important papers and archive them digitally, it makes accessing DjVu images simple and speedy.
