TGA is short for Truevision Graphics Adapter, an image format that use pixels to save the information of a photo or picture. The format using pixels is a kind of raster image format. A raster image cannot maintain the clarity and quality at high level of magnification. Being different from a raster image, a vector image uses control points and paths to save and display the patterns in the image. TGA to Vector Converter is a powerful application that converts raster TGA images to vector supported files, for example, a PDF file.

You can download the application for free evaluation via this link. The application is developed for using with MS-DOS interface, and you can directly run it after unpack the downloaded package into your disk.

Before running the application, you should open a MS-DOS command prompt window in your system. Select [start] menu [Run] input “cmd” press [OK], then you have opened a MS-DOS command prompt window.

Change the default current directory of the MS-DOS command prompt to the directory where the application is unpacked, and you can run the application via call its name of executable file “Raster2Vector.exe”.
The following command line is for converting a raster image “raster.tga” to vector file “vector.pdf” using “Raster2Vector.exe”.
>Raster2Vector.exe raster.tga vector.pdf .

The following two figures are the display effect of the raster TGA image and vector PDF file.

In the first figure, you see that curves of the raster image cannot remain smooth when the image is magnified.

In the next figure, you can see that the curves remain smooth and clear when the vector image is magnified.
