About TGA
TGA, or Targa, is a simple raster format from the first true-colour video cards. It holds colour with an optional alpha channel, usually uncompressed or run-length encoded. Games and 3D programs still use it for textures and rendered frames.
TGA files are large and browsers, phones and most messaging apps cannot show them. TGA keeps every pixel and an alpha channel, and game and 3D tools read it directly.
