Converting TGA to PNG produces a losslessly compressed image with full alpha support. This is the standard way to move texture or sprite art from production pipelines to web, documentation, or cross-platform use.

Lossless pixel preservation. PNG is typically 30–50% smaller than uncompressed TGA for most content. Alpha transfers cleanly. No quality difference.
PNG runs everywhere.
TGA (Targa) was developed in 1984 for Truevision graphics cards. It persists in game development, 3D rendering, and film VFX pipelines because it supports high bit-depths, an alpha channel, and optional run-length compression. Many DCC tools (Maya, Blender, ZBrush) use TGA for textures.
PNG is a lossless image format designed to replace GIF. It uses DEFLATE compression, supports an 8-bit alpha channel for full transparency, and preserves every pixel exactly. PNG excels at images with sharp edges, large flat-color regions, text, UI screenshots, and anything you'll re-edit.
Usually yes. PNG's DEFLATE compression is more efficient than TGA's RLE for most content. Exact ratio depends on image content.
Yes. TGA's 8-bit alpha maps directly to PNG's alpha channel. Straight alpha in both formats, so compositing behavior is consistent.

Yes. The converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never uploaded, never sent to a server, and never leave your device.
There's no hard limit, but because everything runs in your browser you're bounded by available memory. Very large images (over a few hundred megapixels) can hit browser memory limits. Process in smaller batches if you run into issues.
