Frequently Asked Questions
A .pvr file is PowerVR's native texture format that can store textures with various compression formats including PVRTC, ETC, ASTC, and uncompressed data.
Yes, this decoder supports PVRTC (2bpp/4bpp), ETC1/ETC2, ASTC (all block sizes), and uncompressed formats stored in PVR containers.
No, all decoding happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
Channel filters let you view individual color channels (R, G, B, A) separately, which is useful for inspecting texture data like normal maps or packed textures.
You can export the decoded texture as PNG. Note that lossy compression (PVRTC, ETC, ASTC) means the result won't be pixel-perfect to the original source image.
PVRTC is a lossy compression format optimized for mobile performance. Some quality loss and block artifacts are normal, especially at 2bpp.
The current version displays the base mipmap level. Support for viewing all mipmap levels is planned for a future update.
Any modern browser with WebAssembly support can run the decoder, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
