About formats

HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) is a container format for images and image sequences standardized by the Moving Picture Experts Group as ISO/IEC 23008-12, first published in 2015. HEIF is built on the ISO Base Media File Format (ISOBMFF, the same container used for MP4 video), providing a flexible structure that can hold single images, image collections, image sequences (like animations or bursts), and derived images with non-destructive editing operations. The container is codec-agnostic — while the most common implementation pairs HEIF with HEVC/H.265 compression (branded as HEIC by Apple), the standard also accommodates AV1 compression (creating the AVIF variant), H.266/VVC, and other future codecs. HEIF supports features that JPEG lacks: 10-bit and 12-bit color depth, wide color gamuts (Display P3, BT.2020), lossless compression, alpha transparency, depth maps, thumbnail images, and Exif/XMP metadata — all within a single file. Auxiliary image items can store computational photography data like depth maps, HDR gain maps, and semantic segmentation masks. One advantage is the format's future-proof architecture: by separating the container from the codec, HEIF can adopt newer, more efficient compression technologies without changing the file structure, metadata handling, or application-level APIs. The substantial compression improvement over JPEG is another core strength — HEVC-based HEIF typically achieves 40-50% file size reduction compared to JPEG at the same visual quality, beneficial for storage and bandwidth. HEIF is supported by Apple's ecosystem (iOS, macOS), Windows 10/11, Android 10+, GIMP, ImageMagick, and Adobe products.

DjVu (pronounced "deja vu") is a document format developed at AT&T Labs by Yann LeCun, Leon Bottou, Patrick Haffner, and Paul Howard, first released in 1996. The format was specifically designed for storing scanned documents and images at very high compression ratios while maintaining visual quality suitable for on-screen reading. DjVu achieves this through a layered approach: the document image is separated into a foreground layer (text and line art at full resolution), a background layer (photographs and textures at reduced resolution), and a mask layer that determines which layer is visible at each pixel. This separation, combined with purpose-built compression algorithms for each layer type, typically produces files 5-10 times smaller than equivalent JPEG or PDF scans. One advantage is exceptional compression on scanned pages — a 300 DPI color scan that might occupy 25 MB as TIFF or 500 KB as JPEG typically compresses to 40-80 KB in DjVu while preserving legible text. The progressive rendering model is another strength: DjVu files stream efficiently over networks, displaying a readable low-resolution version almost immediately while progressively refining to full quality. The format supports multi-page documents, embedded text layers for searchability, hyperlinks, annotations, and a shared dictionary mechanism that further compresses collections of similar pages. DjVu is widely used by libraries and archives for digitized historical documents and manuscripts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of converting HEIF to DJVU?

Transform your HEIF images into DJVU documents for easy distribution — recipients can view the converted photo without needing RAW-compatible image editors.

What software can open DJVU?

DJVU works with DjVu viewer, WinDjView, Okular, Evince, and SumatraPDF.

Can I convert multiple HEIF files to DJVU at once?

You can process multiple HEIF files in one session. Upload them together and receive all your DJVU conversions in a single batch.

How long are converted files stored?

Converted DJVU files remain available for download for up to 24 hours, after which they are automatically deleted from Convertio servers.

How fast is the HEIF to DJVU conversion?

Conversion typically takes just a few seconds — HEIF images are processed on powerful servers and the DJVU output is ready almost immediately.
