How to convert DDS to PNG offline
Choose local DDS image files, choose "PNG" as target image format, then click the "CONVERT OFFLINE" button to start offline conversions in bulk. Each file can be up to 2GB.
This offline converter will try to use canvas in web browser to convert images first. The image format depends on whether your current web browser supports. For example: the latest Chrome browser supports AVIF images while some old versions don't. Then the offline converter will try to use JavaScript to convert images if your current web browser doesn't support the image format. Use online converter instead if this offline converter doesn't work in your web browser.

| Introduction | The DirectDraw Surface container file format (uses the filename extension DDS), is a Microsoft format for storing data compressed with the proprietary S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) algorithm, which can be decompressed in hardware by GPUs. | Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. PNG was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and is the most used lossless image compression format on the Internet. PNG itself does not support animation at all. MNG is an extension to PNG that does; it was designed by members of the PNG Group. |
