Why teams trust this converter
Zero-Trust Ready
Files never leave the tab. PNG binaries live inside WebAssembly memory and are disposed of immediately after producing a TGA output.
Format-Aware Presets
We tune FFmpeg flags so PNG characteristics (color depth, metadata) persist when writing TGA deliverables.
Ops-Level Observability
Each run exposes duration, file size deltas, and CPU hints so production teams can benchmark PNG → TGA workflows.

Is it safe to convert PNG to TGA with FileConvert?
Yes. All conversions run locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to external servers, so sensitive assets stay private.
How long does it take to change PNG files into TGA?
Processing happens on-device, so most PNG to TGA jobs finish in seconds. Larger videos scale with your CPU speed but never wait in a remote queue.
When should I pick TGA instead of PNG?
Portable Network Graphics offers lossless format supporting transparency, ideal for logos and digital art. whereas Truevision TGA is better suited for legacy raster format used in broadcast and game development with optional rle compression.. Choose TGA when you need game textures.
