TGA files, especially uncompressed ones from game development or 3D rendering pipelines, can be considerably larger than necessary once you only need to share or archive the result rather than feed it into a texture pipeline. AVIF's AV1-based compression produces some of the smallest file sizes available for a given visual quality, often 30 to 50 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG, making it a strong option for publishing render previews or concept art online.
AVIF also supports a full alpha channel, so transparency from your TGA source can be preserved if needed, though AVIF encoding takes longer than simpler formats due to its more advanced compression.
- Install Batchify Image Converter and Resizer Pro on your Windows PC.
- Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single TGA.
- Drag your TGA file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
- Set the "From" format to TGA and the "To" format to AVIF.
- Adjust the quality setting to balance file size against visual detail.
- Click Convert. AVIF files are written to your output folder, fully offline.
- 100% offline — your textures and renders are never uploaded anywhere
- Bulk conversion of entire folders, including sub-folders, in one pass
- Preserves transparency from TGA's alpha channel
- Multi-core processing helps offset AVIF's heavier encoding cost
- Option to delete original TGA files automatically once converted
- No recurring subscription or hidden upload limits
Will my TGA's transparency carry over to AVIF?
Yes, both formats support a full alpha channel, so transparency present in the original file transfers to the converted AVIF.
Why would I share a TGA texture as AVIF instead of PNG?
AVIF typically produces a much smaller file than PNG at comparable quality, which matters when publishing render previews or concept art to the web.
Can I batch-convert many TGA files to AVIF at once?
Yes, Batch Mode handles entire folders, including nested sub-folders, and scales conversion speed across multiple CPU cores.
