Frequently Asked Questions

What is TGA?

TGA (Targa) is a raster image format developed by Truevision. It's common in 3D graphics, game engines, and texture pipelines because it's simple and supports transparency.

Is the output compressed?

Yes. RLE (run-length encoding) is used by default. The compression is lossless: identical pixels are folded into runs without changing any colours.

Are there any size limits?

Yes. Images larger than 4096×4096 pixels are rejected to keep encoding responsive in the browser.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
