Targa files cannot be uploaded to Roblox

Hello, I cannot upload targa files no matter what, even when Roblox explicitly says that .tga files are accepted.

I tried uploading .tga files to both Roblox.com and asset manager in Studio.


For some reason, it specifies that these images are the wrong format, even though they are not. I tried multipul targa files from different sources.,

I’ve skimmed through the forum and realised as of summer 2024, most people have been experiencing the same issue.

Expected behavior

Ideally, the targa files would upload to my inventory. I want to use them because they can be integrated with alpha masks for foliage.

I’m rather unaccustomed to such an issue. My only suggestion would be to export the image as a PNG and once imported set the mesh transparency to .011, which pretty much perfectly mimics the result acquired upon utilizing a targa file.

Hmm, have you tried publishing a targa file? I’ll try your method

Yep, I typically utilize targa files, however the method listed is what I resort to whenever they malfunction, which has occurred maybe once if I can recall lol.
