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.

WEBP Image Format

WEBP Converter

The WEBP file format was originally developed by On2 Technologies, and then further developed by Google after they acquired the company in 2010. This raster image format was designed to enable users to load images more quickly with a lower storage footprint, while retaining a higher quality or resolution than more traditional image formats such as JPG. The advantages of using WEBP include smaller file sizes, lossless compression, transparency support and animation support. Due to these benefits, the format is often used for web graphics, and digital photography.

WEBP files can be opened using various applications, including GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, Apple Preview, Microsoft Paint, Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. However, the first isn't as widely supported as other image types and so certain devices and programs, including Apple’s Safari browser, are unable to open them.
