What changes when you convert DDS to PNG

PNG is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that DDS compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger. One DDS file can hold several pages or frames, while PNG holds one image each. reaConverter writes a separate output file per page and numbers them, so a single input can produce a whole folder of results.

DDS to PNG Conversion: FAQ

What are DDS files?

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
