What is PNG to TGA Converter?
PNG to TGA Converter turns PNG images into Targa files for game development, video editing, 3D rendering, and older asset pipelines. TGA stores decoded pixel data in a straightforward format used by many graphics tools. The tool decodes the PNG in the browser and exports a TGA file.
How does PNG to TGA Converter work?
This tool decodes the PNG source, draws the pixels to canvas, and writes a TGA output. TGA supports 24-bit and 32-bit color, so alpha data from transparent PNG files can be preserved in the output.
