Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PSD (Adobe Photoshop) 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 PSD image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.
Along with converting PSD 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 PSD file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.
First click the "Upload..." button, select your PSD file to upload. Select any configuration options. When the PSD to DDS conversion has completed, you can download your DDS file straight away.
We aim to process all PSD to DDS conversions as quickly as possible, this usually takes around 5 seconds but can be more for larger more complex files so please be patient.
We aim to create the most accurate conversions with our tools. Our tools are under constant development with new features and improvements being added every week.

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.

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.
