TGA to PNG Converter

This tool accepts a TGA image file and outputs a PNG file. It preserves the alpha channel, supports 24-bit and 32-bit TGAs, and performs lossless conversion suitable for game assets, web graphics, and archives. It targets developers, artists, and archivists who need interoperable PNG assets without manual re-exports. Internally the tool reads the TGA header to determine pixel depth, color map presence, and image type. It decodes pixel data, converts to an RGBA color space, and encodes as PNG with appropriate bit depth. It handles both uncompressed and RLE-compressed TGAs when possible and ensures that alpha is preserved. Key differentiators include robust validation, error reporting for mismatched input formats, and streaming processing to handle large files. It produces a single PNG output per input and supports batch workflows through file uploads (where multiple files can be uploaded in sequence). It does not apply color management or resampling unless requested. Common use cases include converting game textures for engines that require PNGs, preparing web-ready image assets with transparent backgrounds, and archiving legacy assets in interoperable formats. The tool is designed for environments where maintainers value data fidelity and repeatable results.
