Why convert DDS to TGA?

Introduced in 1999 by Microsoft, DDS was great for its time. But TGA (created in 1984 by Truevision) offers lossless compression and 32-bit – a massive leap forward. This conversion processes your files entirely in your browser using WebAssembly – no upload, no server, no privacy concerns. Perfect for sensitive or large batches.

This format requires a WebAssembly decoder — allow a moment for library loading
