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.
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.

PostScript (PS) is a page description language created by Adobe that tells a printer exactly how to draw each page — the position of every character, line, and image — rather than storing the page as a picture. Because the description is resolution-independent, the same file prints crisply on a cheap office printer or a professional typesetter. PostScript revolutionised desktop publishing in the 1980s and is the direct ancestor of PDF.
The standard tool is Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter, usually paired with a viewer such as GSview or the built-in viewers on Linux.
On Linux, Evince and Okular open PS directly. macOS dropped native PostScript support after Mojave, so Ghostscript is needed there too. Since almost nothing outside printing workflows reads PS any more, converting it is usually the quickest solution — try our PS to PDF tool.
