How to convert TGA to PNG

  1. Add your TGA images

    Drop TGA (Targa) files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. PNG is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the PNG, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The TGA to PNG converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your images are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

TGA to PNG: what to expect

TGA is a classic texture and render format of games and 3D programs. Browsers, phones and most messaging apps cannot show it, but PNG holds the same pixels and alpha channel without loss and opens everywhere.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can resize the result.

TGA vs PNG

TGA

Targa image

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.

PNG image

PNG stores every pixel exactly, with optional transparency. It was created as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is the standard for screenshots, logos and interface graphics. Photos saved as PNG are several times larger than the same photo as JPG.

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The TGA to PNG conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting TGA to PNG reduce quality?

No further quality is lost: PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. The result is identical in content.

Can I convert several TGA files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert TGA to PNG on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the TGA file, press Convert and save the PNG. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
