An EPS is a vector print-artwork file that most apps cannot open. Drop it here to get a vector PDF or SVG (the artwork stays sharp at any size) or a transparent PNG, JPG or WebP at 72, 150 or 300 DPI. No Illustrator, no upload.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a small PostScript program that draws a picture: lines, curves and filled shapes, with an optional bounding box and sometimes a low-resolution preview. It was the standard way to hand logos, barcodes and print artwork between design programs and printers for decades, and it is still what many vendors, barcode generators and sign shops send.
Because an EPS is a set of drawing instructions rather than pixels, it has no pixel size of its own. It can be scaled from a business card to a billboard and stays sharp. The flip side is that browsers, Word, Canva, Google Slides and most phones cannot display it, which is why the file looks like a blank icon when you double-click it.
| Extensions | .eps, .epsf (plain PostScript .ps also read) |
|---|---|
| Type | Vector print artwork written in PostScript |
| Reads | Plain EPS and DOS-binary EPS (the Illustrator and Windows wrapper) |
| Vector output | PDF (CMYK colours kept, page sized to the EPS bounding box) and SVG (CMYK converted to RGB) |
| Picture output | PNG (transparent), JPG, WebP at 72, 150 or 300 DPI; 300 is the default |
| Cannot draw | Text that depends on fonts, embedded photos, Level 3 gradients and shadings |
| If it cannot draw it | Uses the preview inside the file, clearly labelled low-resolution; otherwise an error that says why |
| Processed | In your browser; nothing uploaded |
Drop the file on this page. It is read and drawn in your browser by this site's own PostScript engine, with no Adobe software, plug-in or account, and the file is never uploaded.
Choose the output for the job: PDF if it is going to a printer or you want to keep it vector, SVG for the web, Figma, Inkscape or a cutting machine, PNG for slides and documents with a transparent background, or JPG if a form insists on it.
If you prefer desktop software, Inkscape and Ghostscript are free and also open EPS files.
All four can hold vector artwork. They differ in who can open them and what they are for.
| Format | Vector? | Opens in | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPS | Yes (PostScript) | Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Inkscape; not browsers or Office | Handing print artwork to printers and sign shops |
| AI | Yes (PDF inside since CS) | Illustrator; PDF viewers for the PDF-compatible kind | Editable master files |
| Yes, plus text and pages | Everywhere | Sending print-ready artwork anyone can open | |
| SVG | Yes (XML) | Every browser, Figma, Canva, Inkscape | Web, apps, screens, cutting machines |
| PNG / JPG | No (pixels) | Everything | Slides, documents, social posts |
Almost always vector: it stores shapes, not pixels. An EPS can occasionally wrap a photo, but a logo or barcode EPS is vector. This site's EPS to PDF and EPS to SVG keep every shape as a path, so nothing is turned into pixels on the way.
Choose PNG. Anything the EPS does not paint stays transparent, so a logo or barcode drops straight onto any colour in Canva, PowerPoint or a web page. Pick 300 DPI for print-size artwork and 150 for screens. JPG cannot be transparent, so empty areas take the background colour you choose.
This is the most common reason an EPS will not convert. If the text in the EPS is still live text, the file points at a font that has to be installed to draw it, and this converter cannot draw text through fonts. If the designer converted the text to outlines ("create outlines" in Illustrator), the letters are just shapes and convert perfectly.
Fix: ask whoever made the file for a version with text converted to outlines, or for a PDF export. Barcode generators and most logo exports already outline their text.
In EPS to PDF, yes: colours set in CMYK stay CMYK, and RGB and grey stay in their own colour spaces, so a printer receives the colours the designer chose. SVG, PNG and JPG are screen formats with no CMYK, so colours are converted to the nearest RGB. For anything going to print, use the PDF.
Many ask for an EPS because it is vector and scales without loss. A vector PDF satisfies the same need in most workflows, and anyone can open it, so this site's EPS to PDF is the safe handoff. Always check the printer's own spec: this site does not check bleed, trim marks or ink coverage, and it does not claim PDF/X compliance.
Think of it as the master copy. Keep the EPS safe and make working copies: a transparent PNG for slides, documents and social posts; an SVG for your website; a vector PDF to hand to a printer.
Drop the EPS here and convert once to each. If it fails with a font or image message, ask the vendor for a PDF or an outlined version. They will have one.
Drop it on this page. The EPS is drawn in your browser by a built-in PostScript engine, so you need no Adobe software or account, and you can download it as PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG or WebP.
Choose PNG. Areas the EPS does not paint stay transparent. Pick 300 DPI for print-sized artwork or 150 DPI for screens.
Yes. EPS to SVG is free, unlimited and runs in your browser. Each shape becomes an SVG path, so it stays vector and opens in Figma, Inkscape, Canva and browsers. CMYK colours become RGB.
On this site the file never leaves your device. The conversion runs in your browser, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works. A converter that uploads the file to a server cannot say the same.
It uses something the converter cannot draw, usually text that still depends on a font or an embedded photograph. If the file has an embedded preview you get that preview, labelled low-resolution. Otherwise ask for a PDF export or a version with text outlined.
In PDF and SVG, yes: every bar stays an exact vector edge. As PNG at 300 DPI it is drawn directly at that resolution. For printing, give the printer the PDF.
EPS is a PostScript print-exchange format. AI is Adobe Illustrator's own file, which since CS also contains a PDF. EPS is for handing off artwork; AI is for editing it in Illustrator.
No. It handles vector EPS made of paths, fills, strokes and colour, which covers barcodes, most logo exports and charts. It cannot draw live fonts, embedded photos or Level 3 shadings, and it says so plainly.
