John Smith

Lead Developer, Neon Games

"We were struggling with VR performance issues. After optimizing all textures, our frame rate doubled. The quality difference is literally invisible. Worth every penny."

Maria Johnson

CTO, Immersive VR

"Fast, professional, and the results speak for themselves. We've sent over 2000 textures to TextureMax Pro and they've never let us down. Highly recommend."

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What file formats do you support?

We support all major texture formats including PNG, TGA, JPEG, EXR, HDR, TIFF, BMP, PSD, and all game engine specific formats. We can also output to any required format you need.

Will I lose quality when textures are optimized?

No. Our optimization process is carefully calibrated to preserve 100% of the perceived visual quality. Most clients cannot tell the difference between original and optimized textures even when compared side-by-side.

How long does the process take?

Standard turnaround is 24 hours for most projects. Professional and Enterprise plans get priority processing with same-day delivery options available. We'll always give you an exact timeline when you submit your project.

Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

Absolutely. If you're not completely satisfied with our optimization work, we'll revise it until you are happy. If you're still not satisfied, we offer a full 100% money-back guarantee with no questions asked.

What resolution textures can you process?

We support all standard resolutions from 256x256 up to 16K (16384x16384) textures, including 8K, 4K, 2K, and non-power-of-two dimensions. Our AI upscaling can enhance textures up to 8x original resolution.

Can you optimize for specific game engines?

Yes! We provide engine-specific optimizations for Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, CryEngine, and custom engines. Outputs include properly formatted compression settings, mipmaps, and import configurations ready for direct use.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Enterprise clients and high-volume projects receive significant volume discounts. For 100+ textures, pricing starts at $0.50 per texture. Contact our sales team for custom enterprise quotes with volume pricing.

What about normal map and height map quality?

Our optimization pipeline includes special handling for non-color maps. Normal maps use BC5/3DC compression that preserves tangent directions perfectly, while height maps use lossless compression to maintain displacement precision.

Do you provide API access for automation?

Enterprise clients get full REST API access for automated texture optimization directly from your pipeline, asset server, or CI/CD system. Webhook callbacks are supported for asynchronous processing.

Expert Guide

Texture Optimization Best Practices

Industry standard practices recommended by our senior 3D artists.

✓ Do's

  • Always work with lossless source files (PNG, TIFF, EXR) for best results
  • Use power-of-two dimensions for optimal GPU performance
  • Pack grayscale maps into RGB channels when possible
  • Generate proper mipmaps for all in-game textures
  • Match texture resolution to actual viewing distance
  • Test optimized textures on actual target hardware

✗ Don'ts

  • Don't use JPEG as source format - compression artifacts will multiply
  • Avoid 16K textures for objects that never appear close to camera
  • Don't compress normal maps with standard color compression
  • Avoid re-compressing already optimized textures multiple times
  • Don't ignore mipmaps - they improve both quality and performance
  • Never optimize without visual comparison testing
