What happens when you convert TGA to SVG?

Raster image inside SVG

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

Sample precision & colour

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Is TGA → SVG right for you?

Good choice when

  • SVG fits your delivery use: Diagrams & scalable symbols.
  • You need a portable SVG with embedded pixels.
  • You can validate the destination’s sample precision and colour interpretation.

Probably not when

  • You need resolution-independent paths or vector editing.
  • You require identical samples without a defined colour and precision policy.

TGA to SVG conversion details

Raster image inside SVG
Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.
Sample precision & colour
Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Metadata & colour
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
Compression
TGA: Lossless → SVG: Not a pixel codec TGA: TGA can be uncompressed or losslessly RLE-compressed. Attribute bits and version-2 alpha semantics matter; the fourth byte must not automatically be treated as opacity. SVG: SVG describes geometry rather than using a lossy/lossless pixel codec. XML can be compressed for transport, but rasterization is a separate operation that fixes resolution and can discard editability.
Transparency
TGA: Yes → SVG: Yes
Animation
TGA: No → SVG: Yes
Colour depth
TGA: Indexed / gray / RGB / RGBA
Vector graphics
SVG: Paths, shapes & text
Dimensions
Conversion keeps the decoded image dimensions unless you edit or resize it. Orientation is applied by supported decoders. ICO fits the image into one selected square size; PDF page layout and rendering DPI are configurable. Device, memory and codec limits still apply.
Metadata
This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied.

Common questions

Does SVG output trace vector paths?

Output is a self-contained SVG containing one lossless 8-bit RGBA PNG at the developed image dimensions. It preserves rendered transparency, but creates no vector paths, editable text or new detail. Animation, layers, extra channels and original metadata are not retained.

Are bit depth and colour values guaranteed to match?

Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.

Will metadata and colour profiles be retained?

This output writer does not preserve source EXIF, GPS or XMP metadata blocks. Original ICC profiles are not copied. Rendered SDR output uses 8-bit display pixels; source precision and original ICC profiles are not retained. Colour handling depends on the decoder and supported source variant.
