FAQ
PDS to WEBP Conversion
What are PDS files?
PDS is an extension shared by two unrelated formats. The first is the pattern file of Optitex PDS (Pattern Design System), a Windows CAD program for fashion and apparel design. It holds the pieces of a sewing pattern as precise outlines in real dimensions, with notches, grainlines, seam allowances, and labels, and it can also keep textures and 3D content for draping the pattern on a virtual garment. The second is the Planetary Data System (PDS) format of NASA, used to archive scientific data from space missions, such as planetary, solar, and lunar images, spectra, and measurement tables. It is rare outside research, and regular image viewers cannot open it. The contents of the file tell the two apart.
What are WEBP files?
WebP is an image file format released by Google in 2010 with the aim of challenging the leading positions of JPG and PNG in the domain of storing and transferring digital images. The purpose of the WebP format is to improve the speed of browsing by offering the same quality as JPEG or PNG, but in a smaller size. WebP images can contain both lossy and lossless compression. They continue, however, to be incompatible with some image viewers and browsers, and are often described by analysts as "work in progress" — a format that still needs to be developed.
