PNG
Portable Network GraphicsLossless compression with a real alpha channel, created as a free replacement for GIF. Perfect for logos, screenshots and interface art with sharp edges; wasteful for photographs, where JPEG or WebP will be a fraction of the size.

- PNG stores the incoming samples as provided, so this step does not add generic quality loss. If the source TGA was already lossy, those earlier losses remain.
Questions about converting TGA to PNG
Is this TGA to PNG converter free?
Yes. Converting TGA to PNG here is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily quota. The work runs on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on to you.
Is my TGA file uploaded anywhere?
For browser-based pairs, your file is read locally and converted by Squoosh in this tab. No file payload is uploaded; you may still see analytics and engine downloads in network logs.
Is there a file-size limit for TGA to PNG?
There is no imposed upload cap when it runs in-browser, but each conversion still depends on your device and browser memory. Large videos are the first practical limit, then memory-heavy documents or images.
Does converting TGA to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG stores its data losslessly, so everything in your TGA file is preserved exactly.
Can I convert several TGA files to PNG at once?
Yes. Drop in several files and each gets its own row; they are processed one after another on your device. You can download them one by one or as one ZIP.
Does TGA to PNG work on a phone, Mac or Chromebook?
Most modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS work. Very large videos are often more reliable on desktop or a browser with more memory.
Why do some conversions take longer on first run?
The conversion engine has to download first. Small codec bundles are fast, while ffmpeg is commonly 12–30 MB; later conversions of similar type use the cached engine.
I converted a file and the output is blank or unusable. What should I check?
Start over with default settings, then change one option at a time (quality, bitrate, page size, or codec) to isolate what changed behavior. If it keeps failing, retry with a smaller file and confirm the source format matches the pair.
