How do I convert a BMP image to TGA?

1. Click the upload button and select a BMP file. 2. Set output format to TGA. 3. Choose RLE compression for smaller size or unencoded for raw data. 4. Enable 'preserve alpha' if your source has transparency. 5. Click Convert and download the TGA result.

Why convert BMP to TGA instead of keeping BMP?

TGA offers RLE lossless compression and native alpha channel support, reducing file size and enabling transparency in 3D/texturing pipelines. BMP is uncompressed and lacks alpha in older variants, so TGA is often required by game engines, video editors, and texture tools.

Does the BMP to TGA conversion preserve color depth and metadata?

The conversion preserves pixel data exactly, including 8, 24, or 32-bit color depth and any alpha channel. However, BMP metadata such as DPI and ICC profiles may not transfer to TGA. TGA-specific fields like gamma, image origin, and RLE compression are set automatically or can be adjusted during conversion.
