Why Convert XCF to EPS?
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is the professional format for print publishing, logos, and pre-press workflows. Converting XCF to EPS creates print-ready artwork from GIMP designs — useful for submitting designs to print shops, integrating GIMP artwork into Adobe Illustrator or InDesign layouts, and preparing graphics for professional publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are GIMP layers preserved?
No. The XCF is flattened and rendered as a rasterized EPS image.
Can I control quality?
Yes. Under "Image Compression," set "Image Quality (%)" or use "Quality Preset." For print, use maximum quality.
Can I also resize?
Yes. Under "Image resolution," set by percentage or keep original.
Is the output vector or raster?
The output is a rasterized EPS (bitmap embedded in PostScript). For true vector output, design in a vector editor like Inkscape.
Should I convert to EPS or PDF?
EPS for legacy print workflows. XCF to PDF for modern document sharing and printing.
