Command line DDS batch converter

Direct Draw Surface (DDS)

DirectDraw Surface (DDS) is a standard format used to store images (surfaces and textures) in â Microsoft DirectX. Use the following parameters to adjust settings of this format.

• format - surface format (default - R8G8B8)
• mipmap - generate mip maps (default - no)

format

Format parameter specifies the used format of DDS surface. Its allowed values are:

• R8G8B8 - 24 bits per pixel, R:8, G:8, B:8
• R5G6B5 - 16 bits per pixel, R:5, G:6, B:5
• A8R8G8B8 - 32 bits per pixel, A:8, R:8, G:8, B:8
• X8R8G8B8 - 32 bits per pixel, A:x, R:8, G:8, B:8
• A1R5G5B5 - 16 bits per pixel, A:1, R:5, G:5, B:5
• X1R5G5B5 - 16 bits per pixel, A:x, R:5, G:5, B:5
• L8 L8 - 8 bits per pixel, luminance:8
• A8L8 A8L8 - 16 bits per pixel, A:8, L:8
• DXT1 DXT1 - compressed, 1-bit alpha
• DXT2 DXT2 - compressed, 4-bit premultiplied alpha
• DXT3 DXT3 - compressed, 4-bit nonpremultiplied alpha
• DXT4 DXT4 - compressed, interpolated premultiplied alpha
• DXT5 DXT5 - compressed, interpolated nonpremultiplied alpha

The default value is: R8G8B8.

mipmap

Mipmap parameter specifies the way of saving resulting files: either with mipmap levels or without them. The allowed values are:

• yes - resulting files will be generated with mipmap levels
• no - resulting files will be generated without mipmap levels

The default value is: no.
