Why convert AVIF to DDS?

People often ask why bother converting AVIF at all. The short answer: DDS handles Game textures and 3D graphics noticeably better. This conversion processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly – no upload, no server, no privacy concerns. Perfect for sensitive or large batches. It's worth doing once properly rather than repeatedly fighting AVIF limitations.
