## How to convert TGA to JPEG

1. **Add your TGA files.** Drag and drop TGA files onto the converter, paste them, or click to browse. You can add several at once.
2. **Choose JPEG.** JPEG is already selected. Open Options if you want to change quality, size or metadata.
3. **Convert.** Click Convert. Your files are converted right in your browser in seconds.
4. **Download your JPEG.** Download each JPEG file, or everything at once as a ZIP.

## Good to know

- JPEG doesn't support transparency, so transparent areas are filled with white.
- JPEG uses lossy compression, so files get much smaller. The default quality is visually lossless for most content; lower it under Options for even smaller files.
- This conversion runs on ImageMagick, running locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded and it works even on slow connections.

## TGA vs JPEG

|  | TGA | JPEG |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Full name | Truevision TARGA | Joint Photographic Experts Group |
| Type | Image | Image |
| Extensions | .tga | .jpeg |
| MIME type | image/x-tga | image/jpeg |
| Best for | game textures and 3D rendering | digital camera output, photo libraries and web images |
| Properties | lossless, transparency, legacy format | lossy compression |

**TGA:** TGA is a simple raster format with alpha channel support that is still common in game development and 3D texture pipelines.

**JPEG:** JPEG is the same format as JPG with a longer extension. It uses lossy compression tuned for photographs and is readable by virtually every device.
