TGA (Targa) is a simple raster image file format developed by Truevision, Inc. (then named EPICenter) in 1984. Designed for use with MS-DOS color applications, TGA is the native format of Truevision's TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) boards, which were some of the first graphic cards for IBM-compatible PCs to support 24-bit RGB color encoding (sometimes termed truecolor).
Identifiers
Filename extensions other than .tga are obsolete. Originally, some Truevision products used other extensions: .icb (Image Capture Board), .vda (Video Display Adapter), .vst (Vista).
