DirectDraw Surface (DDS) is a Microsoft container format for storing textures used by DirectX games and 3D applications. DDS files hold image data already compressed in a GPU-friendly scheme such as S3TC/DXT or BCn, so a graphics card can use them directly without decoding. A single DDS can also contain mipmaps, cube maps, and volume textures.
DDS does not open in standard photo viewers. The usual options are Paint.NET, which supports DDS out of the box, and GIMP, which includes a DDS import and export plugin.
XnView MP and IrfanView can preview DDS quickly, while Adobe Photoshop handles them through Intel's Texture Works plugin. Game modders often use Microsoft’s DirectXTex utilities. To simply view the artwork, convert it with our DDS to PNG tool.

OpenDocument Drawing (ODD) is a graphics document from the OpenDocument family, the open standard used by LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. The file is a ZIP package containing XML that describes shapes, lines, text boxes, and any embedded bitmaps, so the artwork stays editable and scales without losing quality. Note that the standard extension for OpenDocument drawings is .odg, and .odd files are usually the same kind of drawing document.
The natural application is LibreOffice Draw, which reads the whole OpenDocument family. Apache OpenOffice Draw works equally well.
If the file will not load, try renaming it to .odg first — that is the extension LibreOffice expects for a drawing. Other options include Inkscape, which imports OpenDocument drawings, and Google Drive, which can preview many OpenDocument files in the browser. To share the drawing with someone who has no office suite, convert it to PDF or PNG. You can also convert the file with our ODD to PDF tool.
