KPS to DDS Conversion: FAQ
What are KPS files?
The KPS or IBM KIPS format stores a rare type of bitmap image that contains a color palette and is organized in an 8-bit per pixel range. The actual palette is included in a separate file, which might have the extension PAL or KPL. KPS images are usually difficult to open using regular image viewers, so converting them to a more popular format might be the best option.
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).
