Reasons to switch from SVG to TGA

- Simple and fast to read
- Standard in game and 3D tools
- Works with: Photoshop, GIMP, Blender, Unity and Unreal
What to expect from this conversion
- SVG is a vector format, so it is rendered to pixels at the width you choose (2048 pixels by default) and then saved as TGA.
- Transparency is kept in the TGA file.
- TGA cannot store animation here, so only the first frame of an animated SVG is saved.
- Vector artwork is rendered at the width you set in the options (2048 pixels by default), so you can export exactly the size you need.
- Browsers do not display TGA files, so use it in editors, print workflows or development tools rather than on a web page.

Tips for the best result
- Use quality 80 to 90 for photos: it is visually close to the original at a much smaller size.
- Set a width if the image will be shown on a small screen, which also reduces the file size.
- Choose a background colour before converting transparent images to a format without transparency.
