Why convert PSD to TGA?
- TGA is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than PSD.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
Will quality change?
The TGA output stores decoded pixels without another lossy compression step. It cannot recreate detail the source already lost, and the file may be larger. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.
Processing and limits
- Processing
- Server-side
- Engine
- Sharp and ImageMagick
- Maximum size
- 100 MB per file on the server.
- Batch support
- Yes, multiple files can be queued; completed results can be downloaded as a ZIP.
- Quality controls
- Options can adjust output dimensions.
The file is processed on the server because the conversion requires a server-side engine or a utility operation.
- PSD features without a direct TGA equivalent may not survive the conversion.
- Review the converted file in the destination application before deleting the source.
- Batch results should be spot-checked before publication or delivery.
Platform compatibility
The output is a TGA file. Use an application or device that accepts that format, and test the result on the destination platform if compatibility is critical.
When not to convert
- Do not convert when the original PSD must remain the only editable or archival copy.
- Skip the conversion when the destination already accepts PSD and no compatibility problem exists.
- For a one-off preview, a local viewer may be faster than creating a new delivery file.
