FAQs
Why convert MetaPost to TGA?
Convert to TGA when preparing textures, matte-supporting raster assets, or production intermediates for graphics tools and engines that still expect it.
It is useful where simple RGBA image exchange matters more than high compression.
What changes when converting MetaPost to TGA?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Moving to TGA removes vector scaling.
What should I review after converting MetaPost to TGA?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
