Quick answer: To convert TIFF to TGA, add the TIFF file to the iHateFiles TIFF to TGA converter and press Convert. The conversion runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and it is free with no sign-up, watermark or size limit. A straight swap between two raster formats, at full resolution.
Should you convert TIFF to TGA?
A safe conversion: TIFF and TGA are both lossless, so this is a change of container rather than a change to the picture.
Nothing is discarded
TIFF and TGA 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 TIFF. Because TIFF can contain many different compressions, a file that one program writes is occasionally one another program cannot read. Converting it to PNG settles the argument.
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.
How to convert TIFF to TGA
- Add your TIFF file. It is read from your disk and stays there.
- Check the settings. The output format is already set to TGA.
- Press convert and the TGA file is saved back to your device.
Questions
How do I convert TIFF to TGA?
Open this page, add your TIFF 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 TIFF to TGA 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 TGA lose quality?
TGA 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 TIFF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like and they are converted one after another, then offered as a single ZIP.
