FAQ
KPS to KTX2 Conversion
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 KTX2 files?
KTX2 (Khronos Texture 2.0) is a container file format for GPU-ready texture data, published by the Khronos Group as the successor to the original KTX format. A single file can hold 1D, 2D, 3D, cubemap and array textures together with their full mipmap chains, stored in the memory layout expected by graphics APIs such as Vulkan, OpenGL and OpenGL ES, so the contents can be uploaded to the video card with little or no additional processing. Besides plain block-compressed data, KTX2 supports supercompression: Basis Universal (ETC1S and UASTC) allows one file to be transcoded at load time into the format the target device actually needs, while Zstandard and ZLIB simply reduce file size. The format is the texture payload used by the glTF KHR_texture_basisu extension, which makes it common in 3D assets for the web, game engines and AR applications.
