PDN to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are PDN files?

PDN is the native file format used by Paint.NET, a popular free image and photo editing software for Windows. A PDN file stores the entire project data for an image, including layers, layer properties, transparency, blending modes, text, and editing history. Unlike standard image formats like JPEG or PNG, which flatten an image into a single layer, PDN files preserve all editable elements, making them ideal for ongoing design work or complex image editing tasks.

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).
