How to convert AI to TGA:
1. Click the "Choose Files" button to select multiple files from your local device, or click the "URL" button to choose an online file. Image file size can be up to 200MB. You can use the file analyzer to get the source image's detailed information such as image size, resolution, quality, and transparent color.
2. Set the target image format, image quality, and image size. You can use the original image size or select the "Change width and height" option and enter a custom image size in the format [width]x[height] (e.g., 1920x1080). The image quality setting applies only to specific formats such as JPG, WEBP, or AVIF. The value ranges from 1 (lowest image quality and highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least effective compression). If left blank, the converter will use the estimated quality of your source image if it can be determined, otherwise 92. The target image format can be JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, BMP, PS, PSD, WEBP, TGA, DDS, AVIF, J2K, PNM, SVG, etc.
3. Click the "Convert Now!" button to start batch conversion. It will automatically retry conversion on another server if one fails; please be patient while converting. The output files will be listed in the "Conversion Results" section. Click the icon to show the file QR code or save the file to cloud storage services such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.

| Introduction | Adobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats. The .ai filename extension is used by Adobe Illustrator. The AI file format was originally a native format called PGF. PDF compatibility is achieved by embedding a complete copy of the PGF data within the saved PDF format file. | Truevision TGA, often referred to as TARGA, is a raster graphics file format created by Truevision Inc. It was the native format of TARGA and VISTA boards, which were the first graphic cards for IBM-compatible PCs to support Highcolor/truecolor display. |
| Technical details | The same "dual path" approach as for PGF is used when saving EPS-compatible files in recent versions of Illustrator. Early versions of the AI file format are true EPS files with a restricted, compact syntax, with additional semantics represented by Illustrator-specific DSC comments that conform to DSC's Open Structuring Conventions. | The format can store image data with the maximum 24 bits of RGB and an extra 8-bit alpha channel. Color data can be color-mapped, or in direct color or truecolor format. Image data may be stored raw, or optionally, a lossless RLE compression similar to PackBits can be employed. |
