Good for quick edits, but not the top choice for serious volume work.

: Primarily converts .dds (DirectDraw Surface) files to .ftex and vice versa.

Community and tooling ecosystem

Developers, modders who need to process hundreds of textures (e.g., stadium crowds, league kits).

The converter’s true genius lies in its democratization of design. Before its widespread adoption, creating a custom face or a high-resolution kit required arcane knowledge of hex editors and command-line tools. The Ftex Converter reduced this complexity to a drag-and-drop operation. A modder could export a player’s face texture, retouch a beard in Photoshop, and re-inject it within minutes. This accessibility led to an explosion of user-generated content. Forums like Evo-Web and PES-Patch became galleries of hyper-realistic faces for lower-league players—athletes whom Konami had rendered as generic, blurry mannequins. The converter gave the community the power to finish what the developers had started, turning PES 2021 into a living, evolving project.

Undoubtedly the most popular tool among dedicated PES modders. Devil Cold52 is a legendary name in the scene, and this tool is specifically designed for PES 2021.

: If your customized textures appear blurry or pixelated from long distances while playing, check your initial DDS settings. Mipmaps must be explicitly checked during the saving phase to allow the engine to scale textures dynamically based on camera distance.

The converter is a crucial step in many modding projects. A common example is updating kit details like numbers and fonts:

The is a critical modding tool used to convert standard image files (like .dds or .png) into the proprietary .ftex format required by eFootball PES 2021 and SP Football Life for textures like kits, player faces, and turf .
