Questions

How do I convert TGA to BMP?

Drop your TGA file on this page, or choose it. Anyfile converts it on your device in a moment and the BMP downloads straight away. To change it first, open it in the photo editor.

Is my TGA file uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is read and converted by your own browser, and nothing is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to Network, and convert a file. No upload appears.

What happens to transparent areas?

BMP can’t hold transparency, so they’re filled with white.

Can I convert several TGA files at once?

Yes. Drop them together and you get one ZIP with every BMP inside.
