The VDA file format, short for Targa Bitmap Image File, is a variant of the TGA file format (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) used for storing digital images. Developed by Truevision Inc., VDA files are raster graphics files that support various color depths, ranging from 1 to 32 bits per pixel, which includes support for alpha channels and compression. This format is designed to be highly flexible and is capable of storing high-quality images used in video editing and animations.
It is an image compression codec file with the same quality as .jpeg, but that is ten smaller. It supports HDR (High Dynamic Range). SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) images. Also, it contains both the image sequences and image items. The only pitfall is that a few applications support it.
