DDS to PPM Converter
Convert DDS to PPM using a real file encoder. Control resolution, sharpening and color adjustments, plus lossy quality where supported.
Why convert DDS to PPM?
Use PPM when your next application needs graphics programming and simple RGB raster exchange. DDS can carry GPU-friendly texture formats, but this converter supports uncompressed DDS input, not arbitrary BC1/BC7 or other compressed textures.
The converter decodes the DDS image, applies your selected size or appearance adjustments, and writes PPM output. PPM is a simple RGB pixel format for image-processing experiments and certain graphics pipelines; expect a relatively large file.
