DDS Image Format DDS Converter
The DDS format (also known as a Microsoft DirectDraw Surface file) is a raster graphics file format developed by Microsoft in 1999. This format usually stores data compressed with the Microsoft proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, enabling users to compress pixel formats, single layer textures, cubic environment maps, and other texture arrays and volumetric data for DirectX applications. DDS files are great for retaining a fairly high image quality, although its use of lossy compression does mean that some data is invariably lost.
Typically DDS files are used in video game development, streaming, real-time 3D rendering, and virtual and augmented reality projects. Because the type of compression DirectDraw Surface files use is natively supported by most computer video cards, the loading times for this format are particularly swift. You can open or use DDS files in various programs such as Adobe Photoshop (with a DDS plug-in), GIMP, Apple Preview, XnViewMP, and 3D game engines.

BMP Image Format BMP Converter
BMPs are also known as Bitmap Image files. BMPs are raster images, like JPGs and PNGs, which are composed of pixels in a grid format. However, unlike JPGs and PNGs, BMP images aren’t compressed. The format stores RGB colour data for every pixel making up the overall image. As a result, BMP images can be very high quality and good for printing. However, this also means they can have much bigger file sizes than some other digital image formats. Many people choose to convert BMP images into another format for sharing or publishing online.
The format was originally developed by Microsoft, but BMP files are device independent, and they can be opened by most devices and photo applications. You can also use most graphics or photo programs to save images in other formats as BMP files.
