DDS to JNG

Upload a DDS file and save it as JNG. Server-side image processing helps turn game textures and previews into compatible files without installing graphics software.

DDS is a graphic format, bitmap image. DDS stands for Abbreviation for the DirectDraw Surface. This format, developed by Microsoft, is usually used to store textures for 3D environments (for example, in computer games or 3D models, including new-generation game consoles). The format is designed specifically for use in the Microsoft DirectX environment, however, in OpenGL, the use of DDS files is also possible. Even when compressed, the texture quality is preserved in the DDS files. Compression of files of this format is possible using DirectX Texture Compression technology.

JNG is a raster format. It has a close relationship with PNG. The JNG format uses exactly the same structure as PNG. It stores data in the main JPEG stream, is able to store the alpha channel stream in the form of PNG or JPEG, as well as information in the form of text. It also supports gamma and color correction. This image file format uses lossless compression similar to standard .JPEG files. The format was developed as a sub-format for .MNG objects. However, it is quite suitable as a separate raster image format. Some JNG files include an optional alpha channel for transparency. It does not support standard JPEG files. It is also possible to include auxiliary data sections, which may contain information about color space and comments. JNG is a format that is not very popular. Nevertheless, it has such a very good property as a large degree of lossy graphics compression. He also has an alpha channel. Color data is stored in JPEG format. For alpha, there is one of two storage options. It can be compressed using JPEG, like a grayscale picture. Or you can use the same as in PNG, lossless compression. The format is best suited to store texture atlases in mobile games. A good win for a mobile game.
