DjVu Reader: Scanned Books

DjVu Reader is a fast, private reader for DjVu documents—the format used by millions of scanned books, journals, research papers and digital archives—with built-in PDF and EPUB support.

Open rare books, historical documents, academic scans and personal collections directly from Files, Mail, Safari or AirDrop. A clean-room DjVu engine written in Rust delivers smooth page turns and precise zoom on iPhone and iPad.

READ WITH FOCUS
• Single-page, two-page and continuous layouts
• Pinch and double-tap zoom
• Dark mode that dims bright scans
• Remembers your reading position

SEARCH AND STUDY
• Full-text search with highlighted results
• Table of contents, bookmarks and thumbnails
• Select and copy the document's text layer
• Search ignores accents: cafe finds café
• Highlights and notes in one searchable list, exportable as Markdown

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, ads, analytics or tracking
• Documents stay on your device
• Reading works completely offline
• Only purchases and restores connect to Apple through StoreKit

FREE TO READ
Import and read up to three documents in full. One optional, non-consumable lifetime purchase unlocks an unlimited library, annotations, PDF export, printing and Read Aloud. No subscription.

DjVu Reader is designed for archivists, researchers, students, historians, genealogists and anyone who needs to read scanned books, academic papers or legacy DjVu collections without uploading them.
