Compact File Size

DJVU compression is extremely efficient for document pages — resulting files can be significantly smaller than equivalent PDFs.

No Macros, No Risk

DJVU strips all VBA macro code from the source DOCM. Uploaded files are deleted immediately after the conversion finishes.

Cross-Platform Viewing

DJVU viewers are available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Dedicated mobile apps make reading on tablets and phones easy too.

About formats

DOCM is a macro-enabled document format for Microsoft Word, introduced with Office 2007 as part of the Office Open XML family. Structurally identical to DOCX — a ZIP archive containing XML parts for document content, styles, themes, and media — DOCM adds the ability to store and execute VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macro code within the document. The separate .docm extension was a deliberate security measure: users and administrators can distinguish macro-containing files by extension alone, and group policies can restrict macro-enabled formats while allowing standard DOCX documents to open freely. DOCM files store VBA projects in a vbaProject.bin stream within the ZIP package alongside the same XML document content used by DOCX. Macros in Word documents enable automated report generation, custom form processing, document assembly from templates and data sources, and integration with external systems. One advantage is document-level automation — a DOCM file can include routines that populate content from databases, enforce formatting rules, validate fields before submission, or generate derivative documents automatically. The format preserves full compatibility with the OOXML specification, so all standard Word features — styles, tracked changes, comments, embedded media — work identically to DOCX. DOCM is supported by Microsoft Word on Windows and macOS, with macro execution limited to the desktop application.

DjVu (pronounced "deja vu") is a document format developed at AT&T Labs by Yann LeCun, Leon Bottou, Patrick Haffner, and Paul Howard, first released in 1996. The format was specifically designed for storing scanned documents and images at very high compression ratios while maintaining visual quality suitable for on-screen reading. DjVu achieves this through a layered approach: the document image is separated into a foreground layer (text and line art at full resolution), a background layer (photographs and textures at reduced resolution), and a mask layer that determines which layer is visible at each pixel. This separation, combined with purpose-built compression algorithms for each layer type, typically produces files 5-10 times smaller than equivalent JPEG or PDF scans. One advantage is exceptional compression on scanned pages — a 300 DPI color scan that might occupy 25 MB as TIFF or 500 KB as JPEG typically compresses to 40-80 KB in DjVu while preserving legible text. The progressive rendering model is another strength: DjVu files stream efficiently over networks, displaying a readable low-resolution version almost immediately while progressively refining to full quality. The format supports multi-page documents, embedded text layers for searchability, hyperlinks, annotations, and a shared dictionary mechanism that further compresses collections of similar pages. DjVu is widely used by libraries and archives for digitized historical documents and manuscripts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert DOCM to DJVU?

DJVU produces extremely compact files ideal for archiving scanned-style documents — your DOCM shrinks dramatically in file size.

What programs open DJVU?

WinDjView, DjView, Evince, Okular, and SumatraPDF all open DJVU files. Browser extensions are also available for online viewing.

Is text searchable in DJVU?

DJVU can embed an OCR text layer, but the output from DOCM conversion is primarily a high-quality image representation of pages.

Are macros present in the DJVU?

No. DJVU is an image-based document format with no macro support — all VBA code from the DOCM is removed during conversion.

Can I convert multiple files?

Yes — Convertio supports batch conversion, so you can upload several DOCM files and convert them all to DJVU at once.

Is there a charge for conversion?

Basic conversion is free. Premium Convertio plans unlock increased file sizes and priority processing for demanding workloads.
