Format Details
TGA
TGA (Targa Image) is a raster image format developed by Truevision in 1984, supporting 8, 16, 24, and 32-bit color with an optional alpha channel for transparency. It uses optional RLE compression and was a leading format in early video production and 3D rendering due to its straightforward structure and alpha support. TGA remains in active use today in game development, digital compositing, and animation pipelines.
PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a widely-used lossless raster image format created as an open, patent-free alternative to GIF. It supports 24-bit color, full 8-bit alpha channel transparency, and highly efficient lossless compression. PNG is the preferred format for images with sharp edges, text overlays, logos, and any content where pixel-perfect lossless quality is essential, and it is universally supported in every browser and application.
