Quick answer: To convert TGA to APNG, add the TGA file to the iHateFiles TGA to APNG converter and press Convert.

Should you convert TGA to APNG?
A safe conversion: TGA and APNG are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
TGA and APNG are both lossless, so every pixel survives the move intact. Convert back and forth as often as you like; the image does not degrade.

What usually goes wrong
About the TGA. Older TGA files carry no signature at all, so nothing can identify one except by its extension. Files written here include the version 2 footer so they can be recognised.
About the APNG. Converting a single still image to APNG just gives you a PNG, because there is nothing to animate.
How to convert TGA to APNG
- Add your TGA file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to APNG.
- Press convert and the APNG file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert TGA to APNG?
Open this page, add your TGA file, and press convert. The file is decoded and re-encoded by your own browser and saved back to your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Is this TGA to APNG converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no account, no sign-in, no watermark and no daily limit, because there is no server doing the work. Your own device does it.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. There is no upload endpoint. The conversion runs inside this browser tab, so your file never leaves your device. You can open your browser's network panel and watch: nothing carrying your file is sent.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Because the work happens on your machine there is no server quota. The only ceiling is your own device's memory, which for video means very large files may be slow.
Will converting to APNG lose quality?
APNG is lossless, so this step throws nothing away. If the original was already a lossy format, the damage it did cannot be undone, but nothing further is lost.
Can I convert several TGA files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
