Both formats, briefly
DDSIN
DDS keeps textures in the form a graphics card wants to receive them. Block compressed data such as DXT and BC stays compressed in video memory, and mipmaps, cube maps and volume textures can all sit in the same file, so an engine loads it and draws with it directly. If you are modding a game, preparing assets for DirectX, or looking at art unpacked from a title, DDS is what you are handling.
AVIFOUT
AVIF applies the AV1 video codec to still images. At the same visual quality it generally produces smaller files than JPG or WebP, and it handles transparency, high dynamic range, wide color and animation. The limits are decode speed and older software: current browsers cope, while an image tool from a few years back may not open the file at all. Use it for web delivery where bandwidth counts and you can serve a JPG fallback.
