Converting DDS to JPG: what to know
DDS is the DirectX texture format of games and mods. It is converted to JPG to quickly show a texture, put it into a mod description or send it to a chat.
JPG can't store transparency, so the texture's alpha channel is lost and transparent areas are filled with the background. To keep transparency, choose PNG.
DDS or JPG: which to choose?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface)
DDS is the DirectX texture format in which games store model and interface graphics.
Best for game textures and mods.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPG is the most widely supported photo format: small files thanks to lossy compression, but no transparency.
Best for photos and images for the web, email and messengers where compatibility and size matter most.
What happens when converting DDS to JPG
JPG uses lossy compression. The default quality is 75 out of 100: lower values make the file smaller, higher values keep more detail.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
DDS files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
