How to convert ICO 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.

| Introduction | The ICO file format is an image file format for computer icons in Microsoft Windows. ICO files contain one or more small images at multiple sizes and color depths, such that they may be scaled appropriately. In Windows, all executables that display an icon to the user, on the desktop, in the Start Menu, or in Windows Explorer, must carry the icon in ICO format. | 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 | An ICO file is made up of an ICONDIR ("Icon directory") structure, containing an ICONDIRENTRY structure for each image in the file, followed by a contiguous block of all image bitmap data (which may be in either Windows BMP format, excluding the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure, or in PNG format, stored in its entirety). | 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. |
