- 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 OTB (Nokia Over The Air Bitmap Image) file format is a type of image file developed for use on Nokia mobile devices. These files are specifically optimized for efficient transmission and display on Nokia phones, particularly older models. The OTB format is designed to be compact to facilitate over-the-air (OTA) transmission, which was an essential feature in the era of limited bandwidth and data transfer capabilities. The format supports monochrome graphics, making it suitable for simple images like icons and logos.
