TGA to WEBP converter

TGA is a raster graphics file format developed by Truevision, Inc. It is primarily used for gaming purpose. It is a popular format for storing high-dynamic range content and intermediary frames for video production. TGA files come in uncompressed and compressed form and can be 8-bit or 16-bit. It can also contain 24-bit or 32-bit RGB color values.

A TGA file is composed of one or more Image Descriptors (ID), which contain information about the format and size of the image, as well as some other useful information such as bits per pixel, palette colors, etc. The TGA file format also supports various compression techniques such as RLE and ZIP compression.

WEBP is a file type developed by Google that is designed to offer graphics and images with a higher compression rate than what is available with other formats, such as JPG or PNG. WEBP files are typically smaller in size than other popular image file types, which makes them ideal for use on webpages where file size is important for reducing page load time.

WEBP files support both lossy and lossless compression. The lossy option reduces file size with minor decreases in image quality, while lossless preserves the image quality without sacrificing storage space. WEBP can also include animations and incorporate transparency levels depending on the properties of the file.
