Convert your TIF file to TGA

Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a TIF (Tag Image File Format) 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 TIF image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting TIF 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 TIF file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The TIF file extension is a raster graphics file format originally created in 1986, making it one of the older image file formats available. The format was created by Aldus Corporation (now Adobe) for use in desktop publishing software and is still a popular format that is still in use today.

The format has evolved over time from its original use in DTP applications, fax machine software, optical character recognition software, and more. TIF files are binary and can contain one or more images arranged in a rectangular data format within the file.

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.
