- Convert it to .TGA in a few seconds.
- Download your new .TGA file.
What to expect
- A multi-page TIFF is reduced to one image.
- No lossy re-encode occurs, but uncompressed/RLE TGA can be larger than a compressed TIFF.
- TIFF tags and metadata are not retained.
Frequently asked questions
Is the image degraded when converting TIFF to TGA?
No lossy compression is applied - TGA stores the pixels uncompressed or with lossless RLE, so the result is a clean copy of the TIFF image.
Why convert a TIFF to TGA?
TGA is common in game, video, and 3D pipelines and stores a straightforward alpha (transparency) channel, so it fits tools that expect Targa input.
What opens a TGA file?
Free editors such as GIMP, IrfanView, and Paint.NET open TGA, as do many game and graphics tools.
What is not preserved?
A multi-page TIFF collapses to a single image, and TIFF-specific tags and metadata are not carried. Because TGA is uncompressed or RLE-only, the file can be larger than a compressed TIFF.
