What is a DDS file?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is a Microsoft format used to store textures and environment maps for 3D games and graphics applications. It's commonly used in game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity for storing compressed texture data efficiently.
DDS supports features like mipmaps, transparency, and cube maps, making it ideal for real-time rendering scenarios.
How to open DDS files
You can open and edit DDS files using tools like GIMP (with plugins), Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop (with DDS plugin), or specialized texture viewers like NVIDIA Texture Tools.
To convert DDS to PNG, JPG, or other editable formats, AnyConv provides a fast online solution — no installation needed.

What is a JPEG file?
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats in the world. The name comes from the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed the standard in the early 1990s. JPEG files use lossy compression to reduce file size while maintaining acceptable image quality.
They are ideal for photos and web use but not for images that need frequent editing or high precision, as repeated saves degrade quality.
How to open JPEG files
JPEG files are universally supported. You can open them on any device — computer, tablet, or phone — with built-in apps or web browsers. Most photo editors also support JPEG natively.
If you want to convert JPEG to another format or resize it, AnyConv offers a fast and easy solution directly online.
