About PNG to TGA
PNG to TGA lets you create a new copy of your image in the destination format while preserving the original file.
What is PNG?
PNG, short for Portable Network Graphics, is a lossless raster format created by the PNG Development Group in 1995. It became a widely used web format because it supports sharp graphics, full alpha transparency, and reliable lossless compression. PNG is commonly used for logos, screenshots, interface graphics, illustrations, and images that need transparent backgrounds.
What is TGA?
TGA, also called Truevision TARGA, originated with Truevision graphics hardware in the 1980s. It supports raster images with alpha channels and has long appeared in video, 3D, and game-asset workflows. TGA is useful where an editing pipeline expects it, but it is less common for general web publishing.
When should you convert PNG to TGA?
Use conversion when TGA is required by your website, application, device, or workflow. Upload your PNG image, choose the available options, start the conversion, and then check the result.
