IFL to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are IFL files?
IFL is a graphics format associated with Gunpaint, a drawing program created for Commodore 64 (C64) computers. Gunpaint has now long been discontinued and images created or edited with it are probably difficult to open using current image viewers. Commodore was a popular brand of home computers launched in the 1980s, and the C64 was its most popular model. Gunpaint was also compatible with other 8-bit models of Commodore computers, which were less frequently used, such as the SX-64 or the Commodore 128.
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).
