DirectDraw Surface (.dds)

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.

Facsimile Image (.fax)

The FAX file extension, short for "facsimile", is primarily associated with digital fax documents. These files are typically saved in TIFF format and are used to store images of documents sent or received via fax software. Historically, fax technology allowed the transmission of scanned printed material over telephone networks, a practice that became widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, FAX files facilitate the digital handling of these documents, enabling easy archiving and viewing with compatible image viewers.
