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

Is it safe to convert TGA to BMP 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 TGA files into BMP?
Processing happens on-device, so most TGA to BMP jobs finish in seconds. Larger videos scale with your CPU speed but never wait in a remote queue.
When should I pick BMP instead of TGA?
Truevision TGA offers legacy raster format used in broadcast and game development with optional rle compression. whereas Bitmap Image File is better suited for uncompressed raster graphics, high quality but large file size.. Choose BMP when you need windows system files.
