What is TGA file?
The TGA (Targa Graphic) file extension is used to denote raster graphic files. It was originally developed by Truevision Inc. as a cross-platform image file format, and is now owned by Ahead Software. The format is commonly used for computer graphics on both PC and Mac platforms, and can be used as an output from various paint programs. TGA files are capable of storing a single image or multiple images in a sequence, which can be used as animation frames in various multimedia projects. [ ⏩ ] TGA file extension
What is ODG file?
The ODG (.odg) file extension is utilized by LibreOffice, an open source office suite, and part of the OpenDocument (OOXML) standard. It is a graphic file format primarily composed of XML metadata, vector graphics, raster images, and text which can be used to represent digital documents in an organized way. The ODG files are similar to other vector graphics such as Adobe Illustrator (.ai) or Microsoft Visio (.vsd). [ ⏩ ] ODG file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from TGA to ODG?
To successfully convert the TGA file to ODG, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.TGA). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case ODG (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than ODG).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. TGA to ODG. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting TGA files to ODG files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension ODG, while before this step we had the TGA file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new ODG file, or not.
