🎮 DDS Format

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is Microsoft's texture format used in OpenGL and DirectX development environments. It stores bitmap images for game environments and UI textures, supporting both compressed and uncompressed data. DDS is essential for modern game development, allowing on-the-fly texture block compression for enhanced performance.

🖼️ PNG Format

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster graphics format using the Deflate compression algorithm. Created as a free alternative to GIF, PNG supports grayscale, indexed-color, and full-color images. It's perfect for web graphics, digital art, and any application requiring high-quality, compressed images.
