Convert JPG to DJVU

Understanding JPG and DJVU file formats

JPG, or JPEG, stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is a widely used format for digital images, especially for photographs. JPG files are known for their lossy compression, which reduces file size while maintaining acceptable image quality. This makes them ideal for web use and sharing.

DJVU is a file format designed primarily for scanned documents, especially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, and photographs. It uses advanced compression techniques to produce smaller file sizes compared to other formats like PDF, making it suitable for distributing high-resolution documents over the internet.
