TGA Viewer and Converter TGA Viewer and Converter is a freeware (with no expiration or nags) TGA/PCX previewer to enable you to easily manage and convert those Doom 3 and Quake 4 (or other id software engined games) screenshot collections.
But I already have Paint Shop Pro/Photoshop/ACDSee/IrfanView, why do I need this ? Because TGA Viewer does one thing, and it does it very well, it emulates the JPG/GIF/BMP Image Previewer as found in Windows XP by displaying TGA (and for legacy games, PCX) files, when you click on them.
Ok, But a viewer isn't really that useful is it? What else does it do ? It can batch convert the TGA/PCX files to JPEG files, at a compression ratio you specify, ready for you to share with your friends.
Right, Well I'm still reading this, so I must be interested. What does it look like ? It looks just like the Windows XP Image Previewer, so you should already be familiar with it. Here is a screenshot of it showing a Doom 3 TGA screenshot taken from in game.
It Looks Really Simple. How do I run it? It integrates into Windows (don't worry it can be de-installed if you don't like it), all you have to do is right click on one or many TGA or PCX files, an example of this can be seen here.

Download Instructions 1. Download TGA Viewer 2. Unzip the contents to a new sensible, non temporary folder. C:\Program Files\TGAViewer is recommended. 3. In that folder double click on TGAView.exe and follow the instructions.
