Why Convert AI to DXT1 file?

Illustrator files store scalable vector artwork, but game engines need flat, compressed textures rather than editable vector paths. Converting to DXT1 rasterizes your design and compresses it using a GPU-friendly format that loads quickly and takes up minimal memory in a game engine.

The final rendered look of your vector artwork carries over accurately at the resolution you export. DXT1 is a lossy compression format with no alpha channel, so transparency and very fine gradients may need extra care if your original design relies on them.
