Complete Guide: BMP to TGA Converter
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The BMP to TGA Converter transforms BMP bitmap images into TGA (Targa) files. TGA is widely used in game development and video editing workflows. The format supports uncompressed and RLE compressed data, as well as alpha transparency. The tool converts your BMP and exports it as a TGA file. The tool processes everything in the browser, so your image never leaves your device.
This tool reads your BMP file, renders it to a canvas, and exports it as TGA format. TGA supports 24-bit color and 32-bit color with alpha channel. BMP does not carry transparency, so the TGA output will be 24-bit unless the source has been modified.
Game development assets
Convert BMP textures and sprites to TGA for use in game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot.
Video editing overlays
Generate TGA files from BMP images for use as overlays, lower thirds, and graphics in video editing software.
3D texturing
Convert BMP images to TGA for use as texture maps in 3D modeling and rendering applications.
Legacy game modding
Create TGA files from BMP assets for modding older games that use the Targa format.
Upload an image
Drag and drop or click to browse for your BMP file.
Convert
Click Convert. The tool processes the image and generates a TGA file.

Save the converted TGA file to your device.
TGA is uncompressed or uses simple RLE compression, so output size is similar to BMP.
BMP does not support transparency, so the TGA output will be 24-bit without an alpha channel.
TGA is a preferred format for game engines because it loads quickly and supports alpha channels.
For maximum compatibility with game engines, use square power-of-two dimensions like 256x256 or 512x512.
Will the quality change?
No. TGA can store uncompressed pixel data, so the output is identical to the BMP source.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device.
What is the maximum file size?
The tool supports images up to 50MB. TGA files are similar in size to BMP since both are uncompressed.
Does TGA support transparency?
Yes, TGA supports alpha channels. However, BMP does not carry transparency, so the output will be opaque unless the source has been modified.
Can I convert multiple images at once?
Yes. Upload multiple files and the tool converts all of them.
