Image to EPS Converter

Convert Image to EPS Online

EPS — Encapsulated PostScript — is Adobe's page-description wrapper for a single piece of artwork that another document places rather than displays on its own. Print shops, sign makers, embroidery digitisers, and older page-layout software still ask for .eps files by name, which is usually why someone needs one from a JPG, PNG, TIFF, or PSD.

Be clear about what this conversion is before you rely on it: it wraps your bitmap in a PostScript container. It does not trace it into vector paths. Your photo goes in as pixels and comes out as the same pixels, described in PostScript. If you needed genuine outlines that scale infinitely, you need a vectoriser or an artist redrawing the logo — no format conversion, on any site, can invent path data that was never in the file.

How to Convert an Image to EPS

1. Upload Your Image File: Drag and drop, or click "Add Files". The converter takes 36 input types — JPG, JPEG, JFIF, PNG, APNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF, BMP, ICO, PSD, EPS, PPM, XCF, PUB, ODG, and RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Adobe DNG, Olympus, Pentax, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Kodak, Epson, Leaf, Minolta, and Sigma. Batches convert with one shared setting.
2. Choose a Resolution Mode: EPS targets show a single Advanced Options group, Image resolution, and it starts on Keep original. That is the right choice in almost every print case, because the pixels you upload are the pixels the press gets.
3. Scale Down with Resolution Percentage (Optional): The only other mode offered here is Resolution Percentage — a slider that scales both dimensions by the same factor. Use it when a 40-megapixel source would produce an unmanageably large EPS and the placement on the page is small anyway.
4. Convert and Download: Click Convert and download the .eps, or take the batch as a ZIP. Files upload over an encrypted connection, are processed on our servers, and are deleted automatically after a few hours. No sign-up, no watermark.

What Ends Up Inside the EPS

The 1 pixel = 1 point rule is the one that surprises people. A 3000-pixel-wide photograph produces an EPS whose BoundingBox is 3000 points across — a little over 41 inches, or 105 cm — even though it is only a 10-inch photo at 300 dpi. Nothing is wrong with the file; the placed size is simply declared at 72 dpi. Scale it to the size you want inside InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, or CorelDRAW after placing it, and the underlying pixel density rises accordingly.

EPS vs PDF vs SVG for a Placed Image

For most 2020s print work, PDF is the format the same shop would rather receive — try Image to PDF first, and fall back to EPS only if the request is explicit. Going the other way, EPS to PNG rasterises an existing EPS so you can preview or use it on screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting a JPG or PNG to EPS make it a vector file?

No. This conversion embeds your bitmap inside a PostScript wrapper — the pixels stay pixels, and enlarging the placed image will still soften and pixelate exactly as the original would. Vectorising means retracing the artwork into mathematical curves, which is a different operation that discards the photo and reconstructs shapes from it. If a printer asked for "vector artwork", handing them a raster-in-EPS will usually be rejected on inspection; you need the original logo file, an Illustrator/CorelDRAW redraw, or a dedicated tracing tool.

Why is my EPS file so much bigger than the JPG I started with?

Because the bitmap is embedded without a lossy re-compression step. A JPEG spends most of its cleverness discarding data you cannot see; an EPS of the same picture writes the decoded image out at full weight. A few-hundred-kilobyte JPG routinely becomes several megabytes as an EPS, and that is normal rather than a fault. If the file needs to be smaller, scale it down with Resolution Percentage before converting, or send a PDF instead.

Why does my EPS look enormous when I place it in InDesign or Illustrator?

Because the file declares 72 pixels per inch, so each source pixel becomes one PostScript point in the BoundingBox. A 4000-pixel-wide image therefore arrives as roughly 55 inches wide. Resize it after placing — scaling a 4000-pixel image down to a 5-inch box gives you an effective 800 dpi, far beyond what any press needs. The pixels are all still there; only the declared physical size was generous.

What happens to an animated GIF, a multi-page TIFF, or a multi-size ICO?

Only the first frame or page is used, and you get a single-image EPS. That is deliberate: multi-frame input otherwise makes the converter write a numbered file per frame and the expected output never appears. If you need every page of a multi-page TIFF, convert it to a document format instead, where multiple pages can coexist in one file.

Does EPS keep the transparency in my PNG?

No. The PostScript imaging model this file uses has no alpha channel, so transparent regions are not preserved and can render as an opaque block. If the placement needs a knockout background, either supply a clipping path from a vector application or place a PDF instead, which does support transparency.

Will the colour profile and EXIF data survive?

No. Metadata is stripped when the EPS is written, so EXIF, IPTC comments, and any embedded ICC profile are dropped. For colour-critical print work this matters: talk to your printer about their working space and, if they need a tagged file, send a PDF or TIFF where the profile travels with the image.

Can I set an exact pixel size or DPI for the EPS?

Not on this page. EPS targets expose only Keep original and Resolution Percentage — there is no width, height, preset, or DPI control, and the file is always written declaring 72 pixels per inch. To hit an exact placed size, either scale the image with the percentage slider until the pixel dimensions match the points you want, or place the EPS at its natural size and resize it in your layout application, which is what most designers do anyway.

Is EPS still worth using in 2026?

Only when something specifically requires it. Adobe has spent two decades steering print workflows toward PDF, macOS and Windows preview EPS poorly, and modern RIPs are happiest with PDF/X. That said, plenty of sign shops, embroidery digitisers, promotional-product suppliers, and long-lived internal systems still list .eps as their accepted format, and for those the conversion is the fastest way to satisfy the requirement.

Are my uploaded images kept after conversion?

No. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — never shared and never made public. There is no sign-up and no watermark on the output. The main practical constraint on a very large source image is upload time, not the conversion.
