View TGA image files directly in VS Code, Windsurf, and Devin Core — no external tools needed.
This extension registers a native custom editor for .tga files, so double-clicking any TGA opens a rendered image preview instead of raw binary data.
Features
- Native Custom Editor — opens automatically for all
.tgafiles - True-Color & Grayscale — supports 8/16/24/32 bit depths
- Uncompressed & RLE — handles Type 2/3 (uncompressed) and Type 10/11 (RLE compressed)
- Zero dependencies — all decoding happens inside the webview
Supported Formats
| Type | Compression | Color Depth | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 | Uncompressed | 24/32 bit RGB | Full |
| Type 3 | Uncompressed | 8/16 bit Grayscale | Full |
| Type 10 | RLE | 24/32 bit RGB | Full |
| Type 11 | RLE | 8/16 bit Grayscale | Full |
Usage
- Install the extension.
- Open any
.tgafile from the Explorer sidebar. - The image renders instantly in the editor tab.
