Convert TGA to HEIC

TGA files, also known as Truevision TGA or TARGA files, are a raster graphics file format commonly used for storing images. The TGA file format was originally developed by Truevision, a video hardware company, in the 1980s, and it gained popularity due to its ability to support high-quality images with relatively small file sizes. TGA files can store images with various color depths, including 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit. This flexibility makes TGA files suitable for a wide range of applications, such as computer graphics, video games, animations, and digital art. TGA files can also store grayscale images and alpha channels, allowing for transparency effects. One notable feature of TGA files is their support for a variety of compression methods, including run-length encoding (RLE) compression. This compression method can significantly reduce file sizes without compromising image quality.

HEIC files, also known as High Efficiency Image Format, are a file type used for storing images on Apple devices. Introduced with iOS 11, HEIC files offer a more efficient way of storing and managing photos, reducing file size while maintaining high image quality. The format utilizes advanced compression techniques and supports features such as alpha channels, multiple images within a single file, and lossless image editing. HEIC files are particularly advantageous for users who often capture and store a large number of photos, as they help save storage space on the device. However, compatibility with other devices and software may be limited since HEIC is not universally supported outside of Apple's ecosystem.
