How do I convert AVIF to DDS with this tool?

Upload your AVIF file, choose DDS as the output format, select your desired DDS compression (e.g., BC1, BC3, or BC7), and click Convert. The tool processes the image and returns a downloadable DDS texture.

Why convert AVIF to DDS instead of keeping it as a web image?

DDS is a GPU-friendly texture format used by game engines and DirectX. Unlike AVIF, which is ideal for web delivery, DDS supports mipmaps and block compression, reducing video memory usage and load times in real-time applications. Converting AVIF to DDS bridges web images to high-performance 3D workflows.

What happens to transparency, mipmaps, and color profile during AVIF to DDS conversion?

The converter preserves the alpha channel, so transparency is retained. Mipmaps can be auto-generated from the source AVIF, and you can choose to embed a color profile (sRGB or linear) in the DDS header. AVIF's higher bit-depth and HDR data are mapped to the DDS compression format you select, so choose BC7 for best quality or BC1/BC3 for smaller sizes.
