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.

TIFF Image Format TIFF Converter
A TIFF file, or "Tagged Image File Format" was originally developed by Aldus, who later merged with Adobe, in the 1980s. TIFF files can have either a .TIF or .TIFF file extension, but the underlying format is the same.
Originally developed with the aim of allowing users to save an image that could be opened on multiple platforms, the TIFF format supports both lossless and lossy compression. The format produces larger file sizes, which means the format is not well suited for image display on the Web, and tends to be used more for physical printing purposes.
Almost all programs can open TIFF files because TIFF files were so widely adopted back in the 1980s. Both the Photos app on Windows and Apple Preview on Mac OS are able to open TIFF files.
