PWP to DDS Converter

A color bitmap image format produced by the PhotoWorks software, which is intended to be used for the distribution of graphic information. It is used for displaying information on the Internet. It is similar in structure to a JPEG file and can be converted without loss of quality. It is also used to store multiple SFW images.

This is the format that is used in the OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX development environment. It is used to store bitmap images of user interface environments and textures. It allows you to store information in compressed and uncompressed forms. It is used for texturing game models and storing entire textural arrays to create games and 3D-software applications. DDS is used to develop the latest-generation video game consoles. It makes it possible to compress texture blocks 'on the fly', which increases performance when you run the application.
