About this tool
TGA textures exported from Unreal, Unity, Substance, or a game's asset folder will not open in a browser, in Windows Photos, or in most upload forms. This converter decodes the TGA (uncompressed or RLE, 16, 24, or 32-bit) and saves a lossless PNG with the alpha channel exactly as stored.
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. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format with full transparency support. It is the standard choice for screenshots, logos, icons, and anything with sharp edges or text, but it produces much larger files than JPG or WebP for photographs.

Questions
Is TGA to PNG lossless?
Yes. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel and the alpha channel are preserved exactly.
Why does the image look upside down or flipped?
TGA files can store rows bottom-up; the converter reads the orientation flag and outputs the image the right way up. If a file still looks flipped, it was saved with a wrong flag by the exporting tool.
