NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter Standalone is a desktop application from NVIDIA Corporation for creating, compressing, and previewing GPU-ready textures. Built on the NVIDIA Texture Tools (NVTT) technology, it streamlines preparing assets for real-time rendering by producing compact outputs while maintaining visual fidelity. The standalone edition runs independently of image editors, making it easy to integrate into diverse content pipelines.

Key features:

• Export to DDS using modern block compression formats, including BC1–BC7 (with BC6H for HDR).
• Generate and inspect mipmaps with configurable filters and gamma-aware downsampling.
• Create normal maps from height or color data, with controls for strength and smoothing.
• Channel packing and swizzling to combine multiple maps into a single texture.
• Cube map support for environment and skybox workflows.
• Real-time visual preview to evaluate quality before export.
