How to convert GIF to DDS offline
Choose local GIF image files, choose "DDS" as target image format, then click the "CONVERT OFFLINE" button to start offline conversions in bulk. File size 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.
