TGA converter
JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF are turned into TGA with no quality loss. The pixel size does not change. Everything happens in the browser, files are not uploaded anywhere.
TGA, or Truevision TGA, also known as Targa, was developed in the mid-1980s by Truevision for the TARGA series of video boards. The format quickly spread in computer graphics, television and game development thanks to its simplicity and alpha channel support.
A TGA file contains a small header and an array of pixels. Color depths of 8, 16, 24 and 32 bits per pixel are allowed. Optional run-length compression is possible, which is effective for images with large single-color areas.
The main advantage of the format is that all data is preserved without loss together with full transparency. For this reason TGA was long used for textures, sprites, animation frames and rendering in 3D editors and game engines.
The drawbacks are related to file size and weak support outside professional programs. Browsers do not open such files, and many viewers require additional modules. The format is unsuitable for publishing on the internet.
The TGA converter is useful for those preparing materials for game engines, old editors or 3D graphics programs. You can enable run-length compression or write the data without compression. The image is saved without quality loss, transparent areas stay transparent, and the size in pixels does not change.
