TGA file format, sometimes referred to as Targa (short for Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) is a format used by raster images files. TGA isn’t a format recommended for storing camera photos, but it can handle well such data as simple drawings, line graphics, or icons.
Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) is an extension used in raster graphics. File contains a lossless bitmap image . GIF gain high popularity in Internet – only JPEG is more popular. It was developed by the CompuServe company and deployed on the market in 1987.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the TGA file after converting to GIF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from TGA to GIF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting TGA to GIF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in TGA format, properly converted to a GIF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file TGA the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of TGA file to other than GIF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your TGA file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to GIF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the TGA file in its original format (without conversion to GIF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
