What is TGA to BMP Converter?

The TGA to BMP Converter transforms TGA (Targa) images into BMP bitmap files. Both formats store uncompressed pixel data, making this a straightforward conversion. The tool decodes the TGA and exports it as a BMP file. The tool processes everything in the browser, so your image never leaves your device.

This tool reads your TGA file, renders it to a canvas, and exports it as BMP format. BMP does not support transparency, so any alpha channel in the TGA will be flattened against a solid background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the quality change?

No. Both formats are uncompressed, so pixel data is preserved exactly during conversion.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device.

Does BMP support transparency?

No. Transparent pixels in the TGA will be flattened against a solid background color.

What is the maximum file size?

The tool supports images up to 50MB. Both TGA and BMP files can be large due to lack of compression.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes. Upload multiple files and the tool converts all of them.
