Convert TGA to ICO
Drop a Targa (.tga) image and download an .ico file for a favicon or shortcut icon. TGA is common in game and 3D pipelines, and this turns a sprite or mark into the icon format browsers expect.
The converter writes a single icon. If the longest side is larger than 256px, the image is scaled down to fit within 256px. A TGA alpha channel carries through to a transparent icon.
Get a clean favicon
- Start square. A 1:1 source keeps the icon balanced once constrained.
- Keep it bold. Favicons render as small as
16px, so simple, high-contrast shapes read best. - Use transparency so the icon sits cleanly on different backgrounds.
Decoding note
TGA is not a native browser format, so it is decoded by a built-in engine that loads once per tab the first time you convert one. That same engine writes the ICO.
Batch and privacy
Convert several files at once and use Download all as ZIP for the set; nothing is uploaded.
