// ABOUT BMP
BMP is an uncompressed raster format developed by Microsoft. It stores raw pixel data with no compression whatsoever, resulting in very large files but universal compatibility across Windows applications. BMP is most useful when a downstream tool or legacy application requires raw, uncompressed pixel data.
// ABOUT TGA
TGA (Targa) is a legacy raster format from the graphics and game industry. It supports 24-bit and 32-bit colour with an optional alpha channel. While largely superseded by modern formats, TGA remains in use within certain game engines, 3D modelling tools, and video production pipelines that expect it as an interchange format.
// WHY CONVERT
Converting BMP to TGA is useful when you need your image in a format suited for game engine textures, 3D modelling pipelines, video production, legacy graphics tools, and specialised industrial applications. Since TGA stores raw pixel data, the resulting file will be significantly larger than the BMP source, but no quality is lost. Image Toolz runs the entire conversion directly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server — your files remain completely private on your device. The tool handles images up to 200 MB and most conversions complete in under a second.
// FAQ
What is BMP?
BMP is an uncompressed Windows format storing raw pixel data.
What is TGA?
TGA is an uncompressed legacy format used in 3D modeling, game development, and digital art.
Will converting BMP to TGA lose quality?
No. Both formats store uncompressed pixel data. The conversion is lossless.
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. All conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server and nothing leaves your device.
