What is TGA to ICO Converter?

The TGA to ICO Converter transforms TGA (Targa) images into ICO icon files. ICO format stores multiple image sizes in a single file. The tool renders the TGA at common icon sizes and packages everything into a single ICO file. The tool processes everything in the browser, so your image never leaves your device.

This tool reads your TGA file, renders it at standard icon sizes like 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48, and exports the result as an ICO file. TGA transparency carries over to the ICO output for clean icon edges.

What icon sizes are generated?

The tool generates standard sizes including 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 256x256 pixels in one ICO file.

Does the ICO preserve transparency?

Yes. Any transparent areas in the TGA source are preserved in the ICO output.

Can I convert multiple images at once?
