| Description | 🔵 TGA, commonly known as TARGA, is a bitmap graphic file format. It was originally created by Truevision Incorporated in 1984 for their graphic cards, but later became popular for various platforms, especially in video editing and animations. This file format supports color definitions of 1-32 bits per pixel, as well as alpha channels and compression RLE. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The stored images range from 8 to 32 bits. The 32-bit image has a transparent 24-bit color depth. The colors available for the pictures are defined using a palette. TGA images typically have large file sizes due to the number of bits used to represent pixels. This is determined by the color depth, which is why files in this format tend to be large. Compression of these files can be achieved through encoding, resulting in a reduction in file size. |
