Why convert Nikon RAW to DDS?

Most people convert Nikon RAW to DDS for compatibility — a website, app or device insists on DDS, and Nikon RAW simply won't open. DDS is widely supported, which makes it a dependable target. Under the hood the conversion runs on libvips and ImageMagick — the same libraries that power image pipelines across the web — so colour, transparency and metadata are handled correctly wherever the target format supports them.

When you'd convert Nikon RAW to DDS

You might be optimising images for a faster-loading page, exporting for a specific app or marketplace, or just making sure a colleague on a different device can open what you send.

Is it private?

Privacy is the default here. Your Nikon RAW file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted, downloaded the moment it's ready, and then deleted automatically a short time afterwards. We never keep your files, never build a library of your content, and never make you sign up to download the result.
