- Description
- A DDS file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format. It can store compressed and uncompressed pixel formats and is often used for texturing video game unit models. DDS files may also be used to store Windows desktop backgrounds or wallpapers.
- The JPEG 2000 Code Stream (j2c) file format is a type of image file format that is part of the JPEG 2000 family of image standards. This format is specifically designed for encoding images in a highly efficient manner, allowing for both lossless (exact reproduction) and lossy (approximate) compression. The j2c format focuses on the core coding stream of JPEG 2000 images, representing the encoded image data without additional metadata or structure.
