How do I convert a DCR file to TGA with LetsConvert?

Upload your DCR image, select TGA as the output format, choose the desired bit depth (16, 24, or 32-bit) and alpha channel option, then click Convert. Once processed, download the TGA file. For batch conversion, queue multiple DCR files before starting.

Why should I convert DCR to TGA instead of keeping the raw file?

DCR is a Kodak-specific raw format that only professional photo editors support. TGA is a standard raster format used by video editors, game engines, and legacy graphics tools. Converting makes your images compatible with tools like After Effects, Unity, and Premiere, and RLE compression can reduce file size compared to raw DCR.

What image data is preserved when converting DCR to TGA?

The converter demosaics the raw sensor data, applies a color profile (sRGB), and outputs a TGA at your selected bit depth. TGA supports 32-bit color, so RGB and alpha transparencies are preserved. However, the original RAW metadata (white balance, ISO, exposure) and any floating-point sensor data are not stored in TGA—it's a flattened raster image. Choose 16-bit to retain more luminance detail, but 8-bit will lose those extra bits.

DCR-TO-TGA

Turn Kodak DCR raw sensor data into Targa (TGA) for flawless editing in After Effects, Unity, and legacy video pipelines. Keep full 16-bit depth and alpha.
