First released in 1998, the Djvu file format is an alternative open file format for scanned document storage. It is specifically targeted at documents that possess text, vector graphic drawings, photos, and colored images. The format's main selling point is its high quality authoring with minimum storage space making it popular in the distribution of magazines, comics, and ebooks. This fact places it in direct competition with the pdf format by Adobe Systems. The text layer in the Djvu file format supports optical character recognition which allows for text selection, copying, and pasting from .djvu files to other text processing applications. Free browser plugins are available for most major internet browsers which allows hosted .Djvu files to be opened directly through compatible browsers.
A .sgi extension file saves images in the original Silicon Graphics Image format. These files are originated from the library of SGI images that were there on every Silicon Graphics machine. SGI files are also referred to as RGB, IRIS or Irix RGB., .sgi image files can be saved in 8-bit color, 16-bit or 32-bit color. GIMP has the compatibility to read and write .sgi extension files and also has a dialog box that pops up to help select the compression type. The preferred compression is RLE and while it reduces the file size, it is advisable to check once it is done to ensure that the file size is indeed reduced as sometimes the size is more than the actual file size.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for DJVU to SGI conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload DJVU files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized SGI results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent SGI audio with dependable progress tracking.
The file format has a three pass compression technique in which single scanned images are divided into three separate images and compressed individually. The images are separated into background, foreground, and mask images. The Djvu file format then makes use of IW44, a wavelet based compression algorithm, to compress background and foreground images while the mask image is compressed using JB2 encoding.
SGI is a generic raster image file format that stores black and white, gray scale and color images. Images in the SGI format are generic bitmap images that have the capacity to store 8 to 32 bits per pixel. The file size of the images can be compressed with the Run-length encoding (RLE) technique. The .sgi extension files begin with a 512 byte header that is fixed and is followed by the pixel data. There is a scan-line table in case of compressed images with the compressed pixel data following the table. The scan-line offset table indicates the start of every scan line in the data of a compressed image. Lots of bit planes, alpha channel data and / or color maps may be included in the files with .sgi extension. Contrary to the top-down order followed by other formats, the pixel data in .sgi extension file follows the bottom-up order.
