How do I convert a DDS file to PUB using LetsConvert?

Upload your .dds texture using the file picker or drag-and-drop, select 'PUB' as the target format, and click 'Convert'. Our engine decompresses the DDS-DXT/BC data and packages the image into a Microsoft Publisher-compatible .pub document. The original dimensions and alpha transparency are preserved, and the download is ready in seconds.

Why would I need to convert a DDS texture to PUB?

DDS is a GPU-optimized raster format used in games and 3D applications, while PUB is Microsoft Publisher's vector-based document format. Converting lets you place high-res game textures into print materials like manuals or spec sheets, enabling Publisher users to access DDS assets without specialized texture viewers.

What happens to DDS-specific attributes like DXT compression, mipmaps, and alpha channels during the conversion?

Our converter fully decompresses the DDS texture, so DXT1/3/5 or BC compression is unpacked to raw RGB(A) data. Mipmaps are discarded as they're not relevant for print layouts; only the base level is used. Alpha channels become transparency in the PUB document, and color profiles (sRGB or linear) are preserved. The output defaults to 300 DPI for print fidelity.
