TGA to PNG

Truevision Targa — the texture and render format — with its alpha kept.

How to convert TGA to PNG

  1. Drop the TGA.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download the PNG.

What happens to your file

ImageMagick reads the Targa file on Fylane’s servers — uncompressed or run-length encoded, 8 to 32 bits, colour-mapped or true colour — into a lossless PNG, alpha included, and the ordinary pipeline encodes that. A TGA has no signature at its start; Fylane knows it by its footer or by a header that adds up, so a file renamed .tga that is something else is refused by its real kind.

Questions

Is the alpha channel kept?

Yes — a 32-bit TGA becomes a PNG with transparency. For a texture whose alpha holds a mask rather than transparency, the PNG carries the same values.

Do it once, not on every form

A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
