Format referenceWhy convert TGA to WEBP?
- A separate copy makes it easier to compare the old and new behavior.
- Conversion is useful when the destination has a strict format requirement.
- A converted copy keeps the original file intact for comparison and future edits.
- The output can be tested in the destination workflow before the original is archived.
Will quality change?
TGA to WebP is a lossy re-encode. Detail already missing from the source cannot be recovered, and the quality setting controls how much new compression is applied. Review the file in the application where it will be used.
