FAQ
SIG to DDS Conversion
What are SIG files?
SIG is a raster image format used to store a handwritten signature as a picture, so that it can be placed on documents, forms, and letters in place of a pen signature. A file of this type holds a single bitmap, usually a scan, a photograph, or a capture from a signature pad, and carries no layers, no text, and no vector strokes. Signature images are normally small, often a few hundred pixels wide, with a white or transparent background and dark ink. The data is compressed JPEG, and some systems that produce the files, typically document management and e-signature software, store it in a modified byte order. For that reason, a generic image viewer may not recognize a .sig file until its contents are converted.
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).
