Convert image files with our easy to use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a DDS (DirectDraw Surface) file and from this, create a new image saved in the PSD (Adobe Photoshop) format that you can then download and edit/use within image file editors or use for high definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple DDS image files, up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
Along with converting DDS image files to PSD, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects such as applying a greyscale filter to the image. These additional options are available within the Options tab. Along with Greyscale, you can also mirror/flip the image if needed. For single DDS file uploads you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.
Here are 2 simple steps to convert your DDS to PSD.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your DDS file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the DDS to PSD conversion has completed, you can download your PSD file straight away.

The DDS file format was introduced my Microsoft in 1999 intended to be its standard image format for the DirectX 7 3D graphics Api. The format is used to store textures for use within 3D graphics and game environments and can be compressed or uncompressed.
The compression algorithm used by DDS was the previously proprietary S3 Texture Compression which could reduce the image file size down and was easy for the GPU to decompress in real-time. The format is still used and there are some 3rd party image editors that are compatible with the format.

The PSD file format is the native raster image format used by Adobe's Photoshop image application. The format stores raster image data and is the most popular image format for computer graphics around today. Originally available on Macintosh computers Photoshop was ported to Windows in 1993.
The format has evolved over the years and compared to similar formats stores not just raster image data but additional information such as layers, masks, alpha channels, clipping paths and more. PSD files have a limit of 30,000 pixels in height and width and an overall file size limit of 2GB.
