DJVU to RICH Text Format conversion is the process of extracting text and structure from a DJVU image-based document and saving it as an editable RTF file. This typically involves OCR (optical character recognition) to convert scanned pages in DJVU (a compressed image format optimized for scanned books and manuscripts) into formatted, searchable RTF text while preserving basic layout and fonts where possible.

DJVU files typically use the MIME type image/vnd.djvu and are designed for storing scanned documents with efficient compression codecs such as IW44.

DJVU is primarily a compressed image format used for scanned documents with advanced compression technology, which often results in smaller file sizes but limited text editing capabilities. In contrast, RICH Text Format is a text-based document format that supports extensive text editing, formatting, and is compatible with most word processing applications.
Keep individual DJVU files under 100–200 MB for fastest, most reliable web conversions; very large scans can timeout or fail.
For best text fidelity, use DJVU files that include an OCR text layer or high-resolution scans (300 DPI or higher) before conversion.
When preserving layout is important, choose RTF options that keep page breaks and simple formatting; complex page designs may not map perfectly to RTF.
For many files, convert in batches (10–50 documents) to save time, but large batch jobs may require a desktop tool or a premium service to avoid size/time limits.
