What is TGA to ICO Converter?
TGA to ICO Converter turns Targa images into ICO icon files for favicons, Windows shortcuts, folders, and desktop applications. TGA files from game workflows often include alpha channels, and ICO can store several icon sizes in one file. The tool decodes the TGA in the browser and packages the ICO output.
How does TGA to ICO Converter work?
This tool decodes the TGA source, renders standard icon sizes such as 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 256x256, then writes them into an ICO file. TGA transparency can be preserved for clean icon edges.
