WinDjView Portable is a desktop reader for DjVu documents, intended for people who need to open, inspect, print or extract pages from files in this compact document format. DjVu is commonly used to distribute scanned books, reference material and other image-heavy documents. The portable edition packages the viewer for use without a conventional installation, making it suitable for a toolkit or for users who prefer a self-contained application. It uses the free DjVuLibre library to decode DjVu files.
Documents can be opened in a tabbed window or in separate windows, which helps when comparing files or keeping several references available. Pages can be displayed one at a time or in continuous scrolling mode; facing pages can also be grouped for book-style reading. Zoom controls include page fit, page width, actual size and a custom percentage, while a magnifying glass and marquee zoom help examine small print or image details. Full-screen viewing provides a more focused reading area, and page rotation corrects documents scanned in the wrong orientation.
For navigating longer files, WinDjView provides a contents panel, thumbnails with adjustable sizes, hyperlinks and user-created bookmarks. Text search locates matching terms, and selectable text can be copied for use elsewhere. Users can add annotations to mark relevant passages or make notes. Display controls include brightness, contrast and gamma adjustment, as well as color, black-and-white, foreground and background modes. Keyboard shortcuts support scrolling and page navigation, reducing reliance on menus during extended reading sessions.
The viewer also supports document output and page extraction. Its advanced printing options help control how DjVu pages are printed, while export tools can save a whole page or a selected portion as BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF or JPEG. These options are useful for preparing a page for a report, sharing a diagram, or reusing an excerpt in another application. Together, search, bookmarks, annotations and export make it practical for both casual reading and reference work with scanned documents.
WinDjView Portable is open-source software for Windows, with the supplied compatibility information covering Windows XP through Windows 10, including 64-bit editions where noted. Its interface is multilingual, and the stated interface languages include English and Russian. It is focused on viewing DjVu rather than serving as a general-purpose editor for every document format. The portable packaging is useful when installation is inconvenient, while printing and image export provide ways to work with document content beyond the viewer itself.
