About TGA

Truevision TGA

A raster format created by Truevision in 1984 for its graphics cards, storing pixels raw or with run-length encoding and supporting an alpha channel. Game engines and 3D tools still read it for textures. Use it when a game engine, 3D package or older video tool asks for TGA textures.

About DDS

DirectDraw Surface

Microsoft's DirectX texture container. It usually stores GPU-compressed data (the DXT or BCn formats) with mipmaps, so a graphics card can load it without decoding. Convert to DDS for game textures and mods; convert from it to view or edit a texture.
