Convert your WEBP file to DDS

Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a WEBP (WebP) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the DDS (DirectDraw Surface) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple WEBP image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting WEBP image files to DDS, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available within the Options tab. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single WEBP file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The WebP format created to be a successor to the JPEG image file format features enhanced lossy compression, resulting in smaller files than a comparable JPEG file. The format also supports lossless compression and animations, making it possible to use it as an alternative to animated GIFs.

The format has its limitations, such as a maximum width of 16384 pixels. Support for displaying WebP images is well supported within most modern web browsers, with older browsers such as Internet Explorer requiring additional plugins to display the image content.

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.
