PDF to TGA Converter
Convert every page of a PDF into a TGA image. Upload a PDF, choose a resolution, and download each page as an uncompressed Targa file.

Pro Tips
- •TGA files are uncompressed with a full alpha channel, so transparency from the rendered page is preserved exactly
- •Browsers can't preview TGA files directly, so there's no thumbnail - download the file to view it in an image editor
- •Each pixel is stored at full 32-bit color depth with no compression, guaranteeing pixel-perfect accuracy
- •The whole file is rendered locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere
Most Popular
Most users convert at 2x resolution for texture or asset pipelines that expect TGA input
When to Use This Tool
Convert PDF-based design references or textures into TGA files for import into game engines that favor the Targa format.
Export PDF pages as TGA for use as textures in 3D modeling and rendering software that expects uncompressed Targa input.
Generate TGA files for older graphics pipelines and tools that were built around the Targa format.
Use TGA when you need guaranteed lossless alpha transparency without the compression pdf-to-png applies.
How It Works
Read the uploaded PDF file as binary data directly in your browser
Parse the file into a PDF document using the PDF.js library
For each page, render its full content onto an HTML canvas at the selected resolution
Read the canvas's raw pixel data and manually encode it into the uncompressed 32-bit TGA file format
Package the encoded bytes as a downloadable TGA file for each page
100% Private
Files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Lightning Fast
Powered by PDF.js + custom TGA encoder for optimal performance on modern browsers.
Secure
No data collection, no tracking, no sign-up required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see a preview of the TGA image?
Web browsers don't natively support displaying TGA images, unlike PNG, JPG, or BMP. The file is still generated correctly - you'll need to open it in an image editor or game engine to view it.
What bit depth does the output use?
Pages are exported as 32-bit TGA files (8 bits each for red, green, blue, and alpha), preserving full transparency information.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The entire file is read, rendered, and encoded locally in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.
Why is TGA popular in game development?
TGA supports uncompressed storage with a reliable alpha channel, making it a long-standing standard for texture assets in games and 3D software, even though more modern formats now compete with it.
How large are the resulting TGA files?
Since TGA here is uncompressed 32-bit, file sizes are similar to or slightly larger than the equivalent BMP - expect roughly width × height × 4 bytes plus a small header.
