Why convert DDS to BMP?
DDS is a DirectDraw Surface texture commonly used by games and real-time 3D applications. Converting it to BMP creates an uncompressed bitmap used by older Windows software and simple image workflows, ready for workflows that use the destination format.
BMP opens in Windows, macOS Preview, GIMP, Photoshop, and many general image viewers.
