Real DDS output
Encoded by magick, the same library the command-line tools use — not a renamed extension.
About PNG
Portable Network Graphics
A lossless raster format published in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It compresses with DEFLATE and supports full alpha transparency. Use it for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or text, where JPG compression would leave visible artifacts.
About DDS
DirectDraw Surface
Microsoft's DirectX texture container. It usually stores GPU-compressed data (the DXT or BCn formats) with mipmaps, so a graphics card can load it without decoding. Convert to DDS for game textures and mods; convert from it to view or edit a texture.
