TGA files are raster graphics created by Truevision INC to capture the correct graphics settings in 3D images. This wikiHow will teach you how to convert TGA files to JPG format to make them smaller, easier to share, and more user-friendly. You can use a web browser on your desktop or mobile phone and tablet to do this with an online conversion tool like Zamzar. If you pay for Adobe PhotoshopPro, you may be able to open the TGA file and save it as a JPG file; however, there are no current standalone programs with plugins that will accomplish this reliably.
