Converter TGA to BGP

TGA is a long-used raster graphic format. It was developed by Truevision Inc. (now Pinnacle Systems) back in 1984. It was initially used by the developer only for its own graphic adapters, but gradually gained popularity (primarily in the field of video processing and animation). Widely used in computer games, where it is used to store textures (including 3D video games). The name of the format comes from Targa Graphic. TGA files may partially contain image transparency information. They can become the main one for creating GIFs.

BPG is a new graphic format developed by French programmer Fabrice Bellard, known as the creator of the popular programs FFmpeg, QEMU, LZEXE. The main task of the new format is to become a replacement, first of all, for the super popular JPEG image format. According to the developer, such a replacement is necessary where the file size or quality is of great importance. BPG (full name Better Portable Graphics) has a high compression ratio, which, when equal to JPEG quality, allows you to make files much smaller. Moreover, compression is possible without loss. Since the BPG format also supports animation, this gives rise to forecasts that this particular format can successfully compete and eventually replace the animated GIF on the Internet, since it surpasses it in all respects. So, GIF-animation of similar quality will have a much larger size. The BPG format is based on a subset of the HEVC open video compression technology. Mozilla research has shown that HEVC coding demonstrates clear superiority over other technologies. However, the HEVC standard does not have perfect patent purity, and therefore many browsers so far refrain from supporting BPG. Therefore, to download images by most web browsers, you need to use a special Javascript decoder.
