How do I convert ARW files to TGA?

Open our ARW to TGA converter and upload your Sony RAW file. Select TGA as the output format, optionally set the color depth to 16-bit and enable alpha channel. Click Convert and download the resulting TGA file. The tool automatically demosaics the ARW sensor data and applies the correct white balance.

Why should I convert ARW to TGA rather than keeping the RAW?

ARW is a proprietary Sony raw format that requires dedicated RAW processors. TGA is a universally supported raster format used by 3D engines, legacy compositors, and video editors. Converting to TGA gives you immediate compatibility with these tools, and the uncompressed/RLE-compressed TGA preserves the rendered image quality without additional artifacts.

How does ARW to TGA conversion handle color depth and alpha channel?

The conversion maps the ARW sensor data to an RGB image using the embedded white balance and color profile. If you select 16-bit TGA, the output stores 16 bits per channel, retaining more tonal precision than 8-bit. An alpha channel is added if enabled—since ARW normally lacks a built-in alpha, the alpha is fully opaque unless a mask is provided. All raw metadata like proprietary sensor data is discarded, as TGA cannot store it.
