TGA to PNG Converter

Convert TGA to PNG

TGA is still common for game textures, sprites and 3D renders, but almost nothing outside production software can open it. Convert TGA to PNG and the same picture, including its transparency, opens in browsers, editors, chat apps and documents.

Alpha channels are kept

TGA files often carry an alpha channel for transparency, which game artists rely on. PNG supports transparency too, so cut-out sprites, UI elements and textures keep their see-through areas after conversion. PNG is also lossless, so the colours and edges stay as drawn.

Variants that are supported

True-colour, colour-mapped and greyscale TGA files, both uncompressed and run-length encoded, are handled. Unusual or damaged files are rejected rather than producing a broken image.

Using the converted textures

Once the file is a PNG you can drop it into a browser, a chat, a wiki page or a bug report to show an artist or teammate exactly what a texture looks like, without asking them to install a TGA viewer. Game engines such as Unity and Godot import PNG directly as well, which makes it a handy format for quick tests and prototypes.

Good to know about TGA to PNG

• Convert to PNG when you need to preview or share textures; keep TGA for your engine pipeline.
• For photographs stored as TGA, JPG would be much smaller than PNG.
• Files are not resized or recoloured.
