G3N to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are G3N files?
G3N files contain digitally archived documents that were sent or received using Imaging Fax, a currently obsolete application that allowed computers equipped with modems to communicate with independent fax machines. Such images are stored using Group 3 compression, which provides an optimal minimisation of file size through a line-by-line compression of text and helps effectively compress white space. Group 3 compression was superseded by Group 4, providing a lossless compression of black-and-white images. G3N files are now considered uncommon.
What are DDS files?
DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
