Why convert ICO to TGA?
ICO is the Windows icon container that bundles one or more small images used for favicons and application icons. TGA (Targa) is a simple lossless raster format with an optional alpha channel, long used in games and video production.
Both ICO and TGA support transparency, so transparent regions are carried across cleanly. TGA is lossless, so quality is preserved perfectly; expect the file to be larger than a compressed ICO.
Pixohub converts ICO to TGA entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many ICO files into TGA as you like. Reach for TGA whenever you need game textures, sprites, and video pipelines that need lossless alpha.
ICO vs TGA: what to expect
ICO is best for favicons and Windows desktop icons, while TGA shines for game textures, sprites, and video pipelines that need lossless alpha. Keep your original ICO if you may later need the source file, and export a TGA copy for compatibility and editing.
