Convert WEBP to DDS

The WebP file extension stands for "Web Picture", a modern image format developed by Google. It aims to reduce file size without compromising quality, making it ideal for web use. Introduced in 2010, WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression, which enhances web performance and speeds up page loading times. This efficiency makes it a preferred choice for web developers and IT specialists focused on optimizing website performance.

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.
