What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert DJVU document files into a 7Z archive format, combining multiple scanned pages or documents into a single compressed container. It uses advanced compression methods to reduce file size while enabling options like encryption and multi-volume archives.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Upload your DJVU files or collection of scanned documents to the tool.
-
Choose 7Z as the output archive format for conversion.
-
Select optional settings like encryption password or splitting into volumes.
-
Click the convert button to begin the archiving process.
-
Download the resulting 7Z archive containing your DJVU files.
Key Features
-
Convert DJVU raster-based documents into compressed 7Z archives.
-
Utilize LZMA/LZMA2 and solid compression for high compression ratios.
-
Optionally apply AES-256 encryption for secure file protection.
-
Support for multi-volume (split) archives for easier file transfer.
-
Preserve directory structure while archiving multiple DjVu files.
Examples
-
A digital library compresses a set of scanned journals in DJVU format into a single encrypted 7Z archive to reduce download size and restrict access.
-
An archivist creates split 7Z volumes of a large collection of DJVU documents to transfer across media with size constraints while maintaining file integrity.
Common Use Cases
-
Bundling multiple scanned DJVU books or magazines into one 7Z archive for easier distribution.
-
Creating encrypted backups of scanned document collections for secure long-term storage.
-
Producing split 7Z archives of large DJVU repositories to facilitate transfer across storage devices with limits.
-
Archiving many small DJVU files with solid compression to improve overall compression efficiency.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use AES-256 encryption for protecting sensitive DJVU content within the 7Z archive.
-
Consider splitting large archives into multiple volumes for easier handling and transfer.
-
Be aware that extraction is necessary before viewing DJVU files stored inside 7Z archives.
-
Use authorized tools that support LZMA2 and advanced 7Z features to avoid compatibility issues.
-
Keep in mind that solid compression may increase overhead when modifying individual files.
Limitations
-
The DJVU format remains raster-based and image-only inside the 7Z archive, retaining any raster artifacts or OCR limits.
-
Extraction is required before accessing or viewing DJVU files from the 7Z archive.
-
Not all operating systems natively support 7Z archives; third-party tools might be necessary.
-
Some extractors do not fully support newer 7Z compression features like LZMA2 or header encryption.
-
Compressing or decompressing large 7Z archives can consume significant CPU and memory resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I view DJVU files directly inside a 7Z archive?
-
No, you must extract the DJVU files first because 7Z archives store files compressed and cannot display their content directly.
-
Is 7Z compression lossless for DJVU files?
-
Yes, 7Z compression losslessly compresses the DJVU files as they are archived without altering the original raster content.
-
Do all systems support opening 7Z archives?
-
Not all systems natively support 7Z format; often third-party software like 7-Zip is needed to extract files, especially for advanced features.
Key Terminology
-
DJVU
-
A raster-based document format optimized for scanned pages using specialized compression to reduce file size while preserving readable detail.
-
7Z
-
An open archive container format that stores multiple files compressed with LZMA/LZMA2 algorithms, supporting encryption and multi-volume archives.
-
Solid Compression
-
A compression technique used in 7Z archives that improves compression ratio by compressing similar files together but can increase extraction overhead.
