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.

TGA Image Format TGA Converter
A TGA file is a type of raster image developed by Truevision. Sometimes called TARGA files, the name stands for Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter. Raster images comprise pixels in a grid format, and other raster image types include JPG, PNG and BMP.
TGA files can now support 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits per pixel, with a maximum of 24 bits for RGB, and they also support a type of lossless compression called RLE compression. The TGA format is primarily used for graphics like logos, icons, cartoons or video games, rather than for photos. TGA images are intended for viewing on a screen, and they are common in the animation and video gaming sectors. You can open TGA files using Apple Photos, Windows and Android File Viewer, Adobe Photoshop, Corel PaintShop Pro and Canvas.
