PNG to DDS

Convert PNG images to DDS online in seconds.

PNG is a lossless image format with full transparency, the standard for screenshots, logos, icons and web graphics. DDS is the texture format DirectX games, mods and engines load directly.

The DDS is saved uncompressed (RGBA) without mipmaps; re-export it in your engine's tools if it needs DXT/BC compression. If your PNG has transparent areas, they stay transparent in the DDS. DDS is lossless, so the conversion adds no compression artifacts.

You can drop several PNG files at once and get a ZIP of DDS files. Each file can be up to 20 MB; there's no daily limit and no signup, and uploads are deleted from our servers within 1 hour.
