About this tool
For previewing or sharing a texture rather than editing it, JPG is small and opens everywhere. The TGA is decoded in your browser and re-saved as JPG; transparent areas are flattened onto white, because JPG has no alpha channel.
About the formats: TGA (Truevision Targa) is a simple, lossless image format from the 1980s that game engines and 3D tools never stopped using: Unity, Unreal, Source, Blender, and countless modding pipelines accept it, and it stores an alpha channel without the premultiplication surprises of other formats. Web browsers and most viewers cannot open it. JPG (JPEG) is a lossy format built for photographs. It compresses aggressively, produces small files, and opens on every device ever made, but it cannot store transparency and each re-save costs a little quality.
Everything happens inside your browser. Your file is never uploaded to a server: the conversion runs on your own device using WebAssembly, and the result is downloaded straight from memory. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
How to use it
- Drop your TGA files into the box above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
- Adjust the options if you want; the defaults suit most files.
- Click Convert to JPG and wait a moment.
- Download the results individually or all at once as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose PNG or JPG for a TGA texture?
PNG if you need the alpha channel or exact pixels; JPG for quick previews and sharing.
Is this really free?
Yes. The site is supported by ads, and there are no limits on how many files you convert.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Files stay on your device, which also makes it faster than upload-based converters for anything larger than a few megabytes.
Is there a file size limit?
The only limit is your device's memory. Images and audio of any normal size are fine; for video, files under about 500 MB work well on most laptops and phones.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile. Very old browsers without WebAssembly support will not work.
