- PNG, JPEG, WebP, TGA and TIFF are decoded as SDR RGBA8.
- Radiance HDR, OpenEXR and valid UltraHDR JPEG are decoded as linear HDR RGBA32F.
HDR input note
HDR, EXR, and UltraHDR JPEG files can be used as inputs. Most current output paths still tone map into the RGBA8 encode pipeline; use DDS BC6H, KTX2 RGBA16F, or KTX2 RGBA32F when you need to preserve HDR source data as much as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, all encoding happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
iOS and Apple Metal natively support PVRTC hardware decompression. Using Metal texture APIs or classic engines like Cocos2d-x, .pvr files upload directly into GPU memory with zero runtime CPU decoding overhead.
No, each PVR file contains one texture with one compression format. However, you can easily re-encode to test different formats.
