How to open file with .TGA extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .TGA file? Do you want to convert a .TGA file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .TGA

Full Name Developer Category
Truevision TarGA Bitmap Image Avid Technology Raster Image Files
.TGA

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.

The TGA format is known for its ability to store data in 24- or 32-bit resolution, producing high quality images with accurate colors and sharp details. This makes it particularly beneficial for storing graphics with complex color patterns such as logos and photos. Along with this, the format supports both compressed and uncompressed options, which gives users the option of obtaining higher image quality versus smaller file size.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TGA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TGA extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TGA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TGA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TGA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TGA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TGA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TGA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TGA file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .TGA file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .TGA file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
