# s2tc\_from\_s3tc(1)

Convert a S3TC format texture into S2TC format one.

## NAME

s2tc\_from\_s3tc - Convert a S3TC format texture into S2TC format one.

## SYNOPSIS

**s2tc\_from\_s3tc**

## DESCRIPTION

s2tc\_from\_s3tc allows a very simple conversion without any kind of dithering conversion of S3TC format textures into S2TC format ones using the lossy algorithm implemented in S2TC.

It is faster but yields lower quality than decompressing using a s3tc tool and also even worse than s2tc\_decompress.

## OPTIONS

- **-i**

  *INFILE.dds*

- **-o**

  *OUTFILE.dds*

- s2tc\_from\_s3tc is part of the S2TC toolset
