Convert your JPG file to TGA

Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the TGA (Truevision TGA) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple JPG image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting JPG image files to TGA, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available within the Options tab. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single JPG file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The JPG file format is a popular image format most commonly used for the storage of digital photographs. The format implements a lossy-compression technology that allows for high levels of file compression with little perceptible loss of image quality, making it an ideal format for photographs.

This format is one of the most used on the internet today, with its small file sizes making it ideal for website images. Although there are newer image formats that may offer higher compression and quality, the JPG is still an ideal format for digital photos.

Description

The TGA format was originally defined in 1984 by AT&T EPICenter and later became Truevision following a successful buyout. The format is a raster graphics format for use originally with high-end PC graphics cards intended for use in video editing, with the format mainly supporting NTSC and PAL video resolutions.

The format stores images in various levels of color depth, starting at 2-bits-per-pixel (bpp) all the way to 32-bit, where color would occupy 24-bits with the final 8-bits dedicated to the alpha channel. The format of the file is fairly simple compared to other formats of the time, such as BMP and TIFF.
