Frequently Asked Questions
Is the conversion process secure?
Yes, our converter prioritizes your data security. Files are processed on our servers and are automatically deleted after conversion. We do not store or share your files.
What is the maximum file size I can convert?
The maximum file size for conversion is 50MB. If your file exceeds this limit, please consider compressing it before uploading.
Can I convert multiple CAL files at once?
Currently, our converter supports single file conversion. To convert multiple files, you will need to convert them individually.
What if the converted DXT1 file appears distorted?
While our converter aims for high-quality output, some distortion may occur due to the nature of lossy compression. Experiment with different settings in your image editing software if necessary.
About CAL and DXT1 Formats
CAL (Color Animation Library) is a proprietary image format often associated with older game development and animation software. DXT1 (DirectX Texture 1) is a widely used block compression format for textures in DirectX applications, particularly in games. Converting from CAL to DXT1 allows you to utilize these older assets in modern DirectX-compatible environments. DXT1 offers a good balance between compression and image quality, making it suitable for a variety of textures. This conversion is often necessary when porting or updating game assets or when needing to integrate older image data into newer projects. The process reduces file size while maintaining acceptable visual fidelity, optimizing performance in applications that utilize the converted textures.
