Frequently asked questions

Is quality preserved converting TGA to TIF?
Yes. TIF is a lossless raster format, so the full color and detail of the TGA are retained without the quality loss of a lossy re-encode.
Why convert TGA to TIF?
TIF is the standard for archival images and scanned documents and is more widely supported by professional and OS-level viewers than the niche TGA format.
Does the transparency survive?
TIF can store an alpha channel, so the clean transparency TGA is known for can be preserved in the conversion.
Will the file be larger?
It can be, since both formats store image data losslessly; TIF supports lossless compression, but the file will not shrink the way a lossy format would.
