TGA Viewer

TGA Viewer is a very simple application whose purpose is to show the content of TGA image files. It comes in handy to any user who does not want to install complicated graphics viewers just to be able to check out TGAs.

Apart from this format, the application offers support for TIFF, PLT, CR2, PCX, PSD, Ai (Adobe Illustrator) and EPS files.

Installing it takes little time and does not need special attention, since there are only standard options available. Its GUI is quite user-friendly, consisting of a single frame with a neatly organized structure and no cluttered elements.

In order to open a TGA image you can use the file browser. Unfortunately, the drag-and-drop method is not supported, which would have been helpful when adding photos while freely navigating Windows Explorer.

It is possible to zoom in and out, fit the image to the window, rotate it left and right, as well as view the image size on the upper part of the screen (in pixels). However, you cannot resize it.

TGA Viewer provides an exporting option to JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF. All you have to do is select the preferred format and point out a saving location and file name. There are no other notable options available.

The application has a good response time and needs low CPU and RAM to work properly. We have not come across any issues through our evaluation, since TGA Viewer did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, the application can be tinkered with even by users with no previous experience in graphics software products.
