Description

The QOI file format is a modern image format capable of storing full color (32-bit) images in a compact format, with file sizes of QOI files similar to those of a PNG file.

QOI files are designed first and foremost with encoding and decoding speed in mind. It is many times faster to encode or decode an image into the QOI format than other formats, such as PNG.

Description

The DDS file format was introduced by Microsoft in 1999 and 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 and was easy for the GPU to decompress in real-time. The format is still used, and there are some third-party image editors that are compatible with it.
