Field notes
Files can be dropped individually, as a folder, or as a ZIP; conversion runs in the browser, with per-file settings and presets for 11 games. The page gives measured file sizes for a 2048×2048 texture with a full mip chain and reports a 3.5-second BC7 encode on one Apple M3 Pro CPU thread. It also says desktop tools are better for thousands of files, automated builds, or BC6H HDR.
