"Security was our top concern when evaluating file conversion tools. reaConverter’s offline mode and role-based access controls let us lock it down for sensitive environments. No unexpected network calls or bloat — just clean, fast conversions. Even passed our pen-testing scans without a hitch."

PGC to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are PGC files?

PGC is an archaic image format associated with Atari Portfolio — the first palmtop computer in the world, released in 1989. It is a small and simple raster graphics format, using RLE compression and offering limited quality. The PGC format is currently considered obsolete and rare, and it might be difficult to find an image viewer that can open it.

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.
