PDF to TGA

Why convert PDF to TGA?

The main difference: PDF is a document format, while TGA is a lossless format.

Transparent areas stay transparent

PDF and TGA both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

Where TGA works best

TGA is ideal for game textures and video production. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for TGA.

What is a PDF file?

PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe in 1993 to make documents look identical on every screen and printer. A PDF can contain text, vector graphics and images across any number of pages.

It's the standard for forms, contracts, resumes, school assignments and anything you print or submit. Turning photos and scans into a PDF bundles them into one tidy, universally readable file.

How to open a PDF file

Every web browser opens PDFs, as do Mac Preview, the Files app on iPhone and the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows, Mac and Android. To get pictures out of a PDF, convert its pages to JPG or PNG.

What is a TGA file?

TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter, also called TARGA) is a raster format from 1984 that's still common in video games, 3D rendering and video production. It's simple, lossless and supports an alpha channel for transparency.

Game engines and 3D tools often export textures and render frames as TGA. Outside those workflows, few apps open it.

How to open a TGA file

Photoshop, GIMP, Blender, Unity and Unreal Engine open TGA files. Windows Photos and most browsers can't, so convert to PNG for a lossless copy that keeps the transparency.
