Important: This document has been superseded by the corresponding chapter Using
Texturetool to Compress Textures in the OpenGL
ES Programming Guide for iPhone. For updates and further information, please refer to that document.
The iPhone SDK includes a tool that allows you to create textures in the PVRTC compression format, aptly named texturetool
. If you have Xcode installed with the iPhone OS 2.2
SDK in the default location (/Developer/Platforms/
), then texturetool
is located at: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/texturetool
.
texturetool
allows you to create four variants of PVRTC data, the primary difference being tradeoffs between quality and size. You will have to experiment with these variants
to determine which setting is the best compromise for each individual texture image.
Important: If you are using PVRTexTool, then you must create textures that are square and a power of two in length. The results of using non-square or non-power-of-two PVRTC
texture data on iPhone OS are undefined.
The parameters that may be passed to texturetool
and their function is presented in the rest of this document.
Note: The encoders, formats and options available with texturetool
are subject to change.
This document describes those options available as of iPhone OS 2.2. Options not compatible with previous versions of iPhone OS are noted.
Note: The -p option indicates that it requires the -e option. It also requires the -o option.
Listing 1 Encoding Options.
user$ texturetool -l Encoders: PVRTC --channel-weighting-linear --channel-weighting-perceptual --bits-per-pixel-2 --bits-per-pixel-4 Formats: Raw PVR |
The texturetool
will default to --bits-per-pixel-4
, --channel-weighting-linear
,
and -f
Raw if no other options are provided.
The --bits-per-pixel-2
and --bits-per-pixel-4
options create PVRTC data that encodes source
pixels into 2 or 4 bits per pixel. These options represent a fixed 16:1 and 8:1 compression ratio over the uncompressed 32-bit RGBA image data. There is a minimum data size of 32 bytes; the compressor will never produce files smaller than this, and at least
that many bytes are expected when uploading compressed texture data.
When compressing specifying --channel-weighting-linear
will spread compression error equally across all channels. By contrast specifying --channel-weighting-perceptual
attempts
to reduce error in the green channel compared to the linear option. In general, PVRTC compression does better with photographic images than with line art.
The -m
option allows you to automatically generate mipmap levels for the source image. This levels are provided as additional image data in the archive created. If you use the
Raw image format, then each level of image data will be appended one after another to the archive. If you use the PVR archive format, then each mipmap image will be provided as a separate image in the archive.
Warning: Valid PVRTC data is at least 32 bytes in size. This means that images that are 8x8 or smaller will be padded to 32 bytes total before being written to the archive. For example, compressing a 4x4 image consumes 32
bytes, even though it only requires 8 bytes of storage. If you are using the mipmap option with Raw data files, ensure that you take this into consideration as you are reading them.
With iPhone OS 2.2, the texturetool
now additional supports a format (-f
) parameter that
allows you to control the format of its output file. While this parameter is not available with iPhone OS 2.1 or earlier, the data files produced are compatible with those versions if iPhone OS.
The default format is Raw, which is equivalent to the format that texturetool
produced under iPhone SDK 2.0 and 2.1. This format is raw compressed texture data, either for a
single texture level (without the -m
option) or for each texture level concatenated together (with the -m
option).
Each texture level stored in the file will be at least 32 bytes in size, and must be uploaded to the GPU in its entirety.
The PVR format is the same format that the PVRTexTool from the Imagination Technologies PowerVR SDK produces, and requires parsing to obtain the actual texture data. See the PVRTextureLoader sample
for an example of working with texture data in this format.
Important: Source images for the encoder must satisfy these requirements:
- Height and Width must be a power of 2.
- Must be square (height==width).
- Source images must be in a format that Image IO accepts. This includes PNG, JPG, TIFF and others.
Listing 2 Encoding images into the PVRTC compression format.
Encode Image.png into PVRTC using linear weights and 4 bpp, and saving as ImageL4.pvrtc user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-linear --bits-per-pixel-4 -o ImageL4.pvrtc Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using perceptual weights and 4 bpp, and saving as ImageP4.pvrtc user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-perceptual --bits-per-pixel-4 -o ImageP4.pvrtc Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using linear weights and 2 bpp, and saving as ImageL2.pvrtc user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-linear --bits-per-pixel-2 -o ImageL2.pvrtc Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using perceptual weights and 2 bpp, and saving as ImageP2.pvrtc user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-perceptual --bits-per-pixel-2 -o ImageP2.pvrtc Image.png |
Listing 3 Encoding images into the PVRTC compression format while creating a preview.
Encode Image.png into PVRTC using linear weights and 4 bpp, and saving the output as ImageL4.pvrtc and a PNG preview as ImageL4.png user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-linear --bits-per-pixel-4 -o ImageL4.pvrtc -p ImageL4.png Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using perceptual weights and 4 bpp, and saving the output as ImageP4.pvrtc and a PNG preview as ImageP4.png user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-perceptual --bits-per-pixel-4 -o ImageP4.pvrtc -p ImageP4.png Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using linear weights and 2 bpp, and saving the output as ImageL2.pvrtc and a PNG preview as ImageL2.png user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-linear --bits-per-pixel-2 -o ImageL2.pvrtc -p ImageL2.png Image.png Encode Image.png into PVRTC using perceptual weights and 2 bpp, and saving the output as ImageP2.pvrtc and a PNG preview as ImageP2.png user$ texturetool -e PVRTC --channel-weighting-perceptual --bits-per-pixel-2 -o ImageP2.pvrtc -p ImageP2.png Image.png |
Note: It is not possible to create a preview without also specifying the -o parameter and a valid output file. Preview images are always in PNG format.
The sample images produced by these settings are shown below.

Listing 4 demonstrates how you can upload Raw PVRTC data to the GPU via the texImage2DPVRTC
sample
function. Typically on iPhone OS you would use NSBundle and NSData methods to load data from a file. For a complete example demonstrating how to upload texture data from a PVR formatted data file, see the PVRTextureLoader sample.
Listing 4 Example of uploading PVRTC data to the graphics chip.
void texImage2DPVRTC(GLint level, GLsizei bpp, GLboolean hasAlpha, GLsizei width, GLsizei height, void *pvrtcData) { GLenum format; GLsizei size = width * height * bpp / 8; if(hasAlpha) { format = (bpp == 4) ? GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_PVRTC_4BPPV1_IMG : GL_COMPRESSED_RGBA_PVRTC_2BPPV1_IMG; } else { format = (bpp == 4) ? GL_COMPRESSED_RGB_PVRTC_4BPPV1_IMG : GL_COMPRESSED_RGB_PVRTC_2BPPV1_IMG; } if(size < 32) { size = 32; } glCompressedTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, level, format, width, height, 0, size, data); } |
For sample code see the PVRTextureLoader sample.
