The DDS Converter is a pretty no-frills utility for batch converting images to DDS files. This requires the DirectX SDK to be installed because it uses texconv.exe to do the actual conversion.

To use:

  1. *Select a folder containing the images you want to convert*

If the files are in multple directories, you can choose a parent directory and select "Show Sub Dirs" to list all the images in all child folders (can be slow if there are a lot of child folders).

  1. *Check the files you want to convert from the displayed list*

You can check all the files by selecting the "Check All" checkbox

  1. *Select the DDS format*

"Auto Format" will use DXT1 if there isn't any alpha in an image and DXT3 if there is alpha

  1. *Select the number of MIP levels desired*

1 means one level..so no MIPs

  1. *Hit "Convert"*

The resulting output will be displayed int he Output window.
