About DDS and PNG8 Formats
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is a raster graphics file format commonly used for textures in video games and 3D applications. It supports various compression methods and color depths. PNG8 (Portable Network Graphics 8-bit) is a widely supported image format known for its lossless compression and ability to store images with a limited color palette (256 colors). Converting from DDS to PNG8 is often necessary when you need a more universally compatible image format for web use or other applications that don't natively support DDS. This conversion can be useful for creating thumbnails, icons, or images for websites where file size and compatibility are important. The PNG8 format is particularly suitable for images with limited colors, such as logos, icons, and simple graphics.
