DJVU to TCR conversion is the process of transforming a document stored in the DJVU image-based file format into the TCR (Psion Series 3/7/5) compressed image format used by older handheld devices and some e-reader applications. This conversion typically extracts and re-encodes scanned pages, preserving readable content while adapting compression, resolution, and page structure to TCR’s limited color and compression capabilities.

DJVU is a popular format for scanned documents known for high compression and image quality, whereas TCR is a simpler, legacy image format offering faster rendering but less compression. While DJVU supports layered compression and advanced indexing, TCR is mainly used for compatibility with older software and systems.
Keep individual DJVU pages under ~20–30MB to avoid long processing times; overall upload bundles should respect the service’s size limits.
Preserve legibility by converting at 200–300 DPI for text-heavy DJVU scans; downsampling below 150 DPI often loses small-font clarity.
When possible, use the DJVU OCR/text layer to produce searchable TCR-friendly pages or to remove background noise before encoding.
For batch conversions, group files with similar resolution and color depth to apply consistent settings and faster processing.
