DirectDraw Surface (DDS) is a Microsoft container format for storing textures used by DirectX games and 3D applications. DDS files hold image data already compressed in a GPU-friendly scheme such as S3TC/DXT or BCn, so a graphics card can use them directly without decoding. A single DDS can also contain mipmaps, cube maps, and volume textures.

 

How to open a DDS file?

DDS does not open in standard photo viewers. The usual options are Paint.NET, which supports DDS out of the box, and GIMP, which includes a DDS import and export plugin.

 

XnView MP and IrfanView can preview DDS quickly, while Adobe Photoshop handles them through Intel's Texture Works plugin. Game modders often use Microsoft’s DirectXTex utilities. To simply view the artwork, convert it with our DDS to PNG tool.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is a universal file format that comprises characteristics of both text documents and graphic images which makes it one of the most commonly used file types today. The reason PDF is so widely popular is that it can preserve original document formatting. PDF files always look identical on any device or operating system.

 

How to open a PDF file?

Most people head right to Adobe Acrobat Reader when they need to open a PDF. Adobe created the PDF standard and its program is certainly the most popular free PDF reader out there. It's completely fine to use, but I find it to be a somewhat bloated program with lots of features that you may never need or want to use.

 

Most web browsers, like both Chrome and Firefox, can open PDFs themselves. You may or may not need an add-on or extension to do it, but it's pretty handy to have one open automatically when you click a PDF link online. I highly recommend SumatraPDF or MuPDF if you're after something a bit more. Both are free.
