About the BMP to TGA Converter
Need to turn a BMP file into TGA? This free converter changes BMP images into TGA in a few seconds, right in your browser. People usually convert because BMP files are huge and cannot be used on most websites, while TGA gives you a 32-bit TGA texture for game engines. TGA files open in Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Photoshop and GIMP.
The converter decodes your BMP with your browser's own image engine and writes the TGA with a small open-source TGA encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: TGA stores the pixels without further quality loss; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the BMP to TGA Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your BMP images onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting; leave it empty to keep the original size.
- Press "Convert to TGA". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each TGA file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Unity or Unreal Engine to check it; your original BMP is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- The TGA is saved as uncompressed 32-bit with alpha, the variant every game engine and 3D tool reads.
- Password-protected (encrypted) archives cannot be converted; extract them with the password first.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the TGA to a website or government portal.

What is the difference between BMP and TGA?
BMP (Windows Bitmap) is a uncompressed raster image best suited to legacy Windows software, embedded displays, machine vision and printing tools that need raw pixels. TGA (Truevision TGA (Targa)) is a raster texture format best suited to game engine textures, 3D software and video compositing.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.

What is a BMP file?
BMP is the classic Windows bitmap format. It stores raw pixel data with little or no compression, so files are large, but almost every old program, embedded device and industrial machine can read it.
What is a TGA file?
TGA (Targa) was introduced by Truevision in 1984 for its graphics cards. It is simple, supports an 8-bit alpha channel and is still widely used for game textures, 3D rendering and video effects.
