Convert PPS to DDS

The PPS file extension, short for PowerPoint Slide Show, is a legacy format used by Microsoft PowerPoint versions prior to 2007. It represents a completed slide show that opens directly in presentation mode, unlike the PPT format which opens in edit mode. PPS files are used for distributing and presenting finalized presentations. While newer versions of PowerPoint use the PPSX extension for similar purposes, PPS files are still supported by various presentation software and can be opened with Microsoft PowerPoint, OpenOffice Impress, and Google Slides.

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
