KTX-Software is a suite of tools and libraries for working with Khronos Texture (KTX) files, designed and maintained by the Khronos Group. KTX is a container format for storing textures that are optimized for GPU upload, supporting modern formats like Basis Universal and ASTC. This repository includes tools for creating, validating, inspecting, and converting KTX and KTX2 files, making it essential for developers working in 3D engines, games, and visualization tools where texture streaming and compression are key.

Features

  • Create and convert KTX and KTX2 texture files
  • Support for Basis Universal and ASTC compression
  • CLI tools for packing, transcoding, and inspecting textures
  • libktx for integrating texture handling into applications
  • Fast uploading of textures to OpenGL and Vulkan APIs
  • Metadata embedding and manipulation within textures
  • Transcoding to GPU-native formats for multiple platforms
  • Mipmap generation and texture swizzling support
  • Open source and maintained by Khronos Group
