AZW3 to TGA conversion is the process of extracting visual content (such as cover art, illustrations, or embedded images) from an Amazon Kindle AZW3 ebook file and converting those images into the TGA (Targa) raster graphics format. This conversion is typically used when you need high-quality, uncompressed or lossless image files from an ebook for editing, printing, or archival purposes.
