Format Details
DDS
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is a raster image format developed by Microsoft for use with Direct3D and DirectX applications. It supports GPU-native texture compression formats such as DXT/BC, mipmaps, and cube maps, making it ideal for 3D game textures and real-time environments. DDS files can be loaded directly by the GPU without decompression, enabling fast real-time rendering in games and interactive applications.
CUR
CUR is the Windows cursor file format used to store static mouse cursor images for the operating system. It shares the same internal structure as the ICO format and supports multiple sizes and color depths within a single file. CUR files define the appearance of mouse pointers in Windows applications and throughout the OS shell.
