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.
A SHV file is a design file used by Husqvarna Viking Designer embroidery machines. It contains an embroidery design, which includes information about stitches, colors, and other design elements. It is used to transfer a design to a machine's memory and create an embroidered object.
