View DDS Files

DDS (abbreviation for DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format usually used by Microsoft DirectX for saving and storing textures and environments.

DDS graphic files can be used for saving compressed or uncompressed pixel formats, and they are usually suitable for representing Windows wallpapers and backgrounds.

When one wants to view their DDS image files, they will have to find and use a compatible graphic viewer that features support for this specific image format.

Some DDS-compatible apps will also allow their users to export their raster images to more common graphic formats supported by a wider range of image viewers.
