Convert TIFF to DJVU

Understanding TIFF and DJVU file formats

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a widely used format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry, and photographers. It supports lossless compression, making it ideal for high-quality images.

DJVU is a file format designed primarily to store scanned documents, especially those containing a combination of text, line drawings, and photographs. It uses advanced compression techniques to reduce file size while maintaining quality, making it suitable for web distribution.
