Editorial Policy
This Editorial Policy describes how we create the guides and articles published on pngtodds.com. We want every reader to trust that our content is accurate, practical, and written to help rather than to fill space.
Our goal
Our articles exist to explain texture compression, the DDS format, and image conversion in plain language. We write for artists, game developers, and modders who want clear answers they can act on, whether they are converting their first PNG to DDS or fine tuning a production pipeline.
How we research
We base our guides on established graphics concepts, the documented behaviour of common engines and tools, and hands on testing with our own converter. Where a topic depends on a specific piece of software, we point readers to the current official documentation for the most reliable detail.
Accuracy and corrections
We aim to get things right the first time, and we review articles before publishing. If we discover an error, or a reader reports one, we correct it promptly. Technical fields evolve, so we revisit older guides and update them when formats, tools, or best practices change.
Independence
Our content is not for sale. We do not publish paid placements disguised as guides, and any tool we mention is included because it is genuinely relevant, not because of a commercial arrangement.
Clarity over jargon
Texture compression is full of acronyms. We define terms the first time we use them and favour clear explanations and examples over unnecessary complexity, so a newcomer and a professional can both get value from the same article.
Feedback
Your feedback makes our guides better. If you spot something to fix or want a topic covered, reach us at pngtodds@gmail.com or through our contact page.
