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 VP3 file type is a vector-based embroidery file format developed by Husqvarna Viking/Pfaff, used to store embroidery designs for use with computerized embroidery machines. It is a proprietary format that can store a wide range of stitches, as well as images and text.
