minidjvu: bitonal DjVu encoder/decoder

Latest version: 0.7

If you are curious about DjVu, visit DjVuZone or PlanetDjVu.

About

minidjvu encodes and decodes single page black-and-white DjVu files, and can compress multiple pages, taking advantage from similarities between pages. There's no GUI, just command line.

Supported bitmap formats are PBM, Windows BMP, and TIFF (through libtiff).

minidjvu is based on DjVuLibre, which is the primary DjVu support library. Minidjvu is not going to support all DjVu functionality; the idea is rather to take the black-and-white part (also called JB2) and experiment with it.

Downloads

0.7 is the latest release. For Windows users, there's now some graphical interface. Also, there were minor bugfixes over 0.6.

Available files:

For Linux: source tarball (requires development package of libtiff)
For Windows: "Minidjvu With Friends" installer (minidjvu + windjview + djvm + tiffsplit + ... - programs for compressing TIFF to DjVu)
