A lossless PNG of the artwork inside the EPS, cropped to its bounding box at the dpi you choose.
Swap: PNG to EPSAn EPS is the encapsulated PostScript file a print shop or an older design tool hands you. A PNG is the picture every screen can show.
An EPS describes a page as shapes, colours and curves, with a bounding box that says how big it is. It was designed to be placed in a page layout or sent to a press, so double clicking it on a desktop often does nothing at all: a browser, a photo viewer and a chat window have no way to draw PostScript.
A PNG goes into a slide, a website, a marketplace listing, a support ticket or an email, and it appears in the preview of every file manager. That is the whole point of this conversion: the artwork stays where it is on the server while a picture of it travels.
A folder of old print artwork, a logo a client sent years ago, a stack of test EPS files: a PNG of each one makes the contents visible at a glance, with no editor to install, no fonts to hunt down and no dialog complaining about a missing linked image.
The EPS already knows how large its artwork is; that rectangle becomes the picture.
An EPS has no sheet of paper around it, only a bounding box, and the render here is exactly that box. The PNG is the size of the drawing — no A4 border and no white margin to trim afterwards — so a logo that measures 200 × 100 points arrives as 200 × 100 points of pixels, plus whatever the resolution adds.
Points are 1/72 of an inch, so 72 dpi turns one point into one pixel and a 200 × 100 pt drawing into 200 × 100 px. At 150 dpi the same drawing is 417 × 208 px, and at 300 dpi it is 833 × 417 px. Nothing is redrawn between the three: only the number of pixels changes.
The page behind the drawing is white, not transparent, because an EPS describes ink on paper and has no notion of a see-through background. If the drawing has to be a cut-out with nothing behind it, take the vector version from EPS to SVG instead and remove the background there.
A drawing EPS is a single page, so the answer is a single PNG named after the file you uploaded — no archive to unpack. A multi-page PostScript print file is rendered from its first page, which is nearly always the sheet that carries the artwork.
Dots per inch decide how many pixels each inch of the drawing gets, and how heavy the PNG is.
One pixel per point: the drawing at the size it was measured in, which is fine for a preview, a thumbnail, a forum post or a picture shown at its natural size on a web page. It is the smallest PNG of the three, and small type can be hard to read if the image is later enlarged.
Twice the detail in each direction and the default here: sharp on any screen, comfortable at 100%, and still a sensible download. Choose it for a document, a mock-up or a picture that will be looked at rather than printed.
The resolution a print service asks for. Because PNG is lossless, a 300 dpi artwork is genuinely heavy: use it for the one drawing that is going to paper, and keep the rest at 150 dpi.
A single page may not pass 40 megapixels. A plotter drawing or a poster-sized EPS requested at 300 dpi is rendered at a lower resolution instead of exhausting the server, and the answer carries a warning naming the resolution that was actually used.
PostScript is a program, and a program can depend on things that were never inside the file.
An EPS rarely carries a typeface; it asks for one by name and expects the machine to have it. When the font is missing, the letters are drawn in the closest match the server has, so widths, spacing and the look of the text can shift. Converting the text to outlines in the original application is the fix — every letter then travels as a shape.
Each conversion has a wall-clock limit, so a file with tens of thousands of paths, a gradient mesh or an embedded high-resolution bitmap can take longer than the server allows and is stopped with a message instead of a half-drawn page. Simplifying the artwork, or asking the source application for a PDF or an SVG export, is the quicker route.
Three steps, no account and nothing to install.
Drop the file on the box or click it to browse. One file per run, up to 25 MB. A file named
.eps or .ps is accepted even when the browser sends it without a
useful type, which is what happens with most PostScript downloads.
Keep 150 dpi unless you know better: 72 dpi for a preview, 300 dpi for a drawing that will be printed. The PNG format is already chosen on this page, so there is nothing else to decide.
The file arrives with the name of your upload and a .png extension, already cropped to the artwork, ready to be dropped into a slide, a page or a folder of previews.
Small preparations that save a second attempt.
An EPS is readable text. The first lines hold a %%BoundingBox entry with four
numbers — left, bottom, right, top — in points. Their difference is the size of the picture
you will get, so a suspicious value explains a PNG with a strange margin long before you
convert anything.
If you still have the application the file came from, convert the text to outlines before exporting: Illustrator calls it Create Outlines, Inkscape Object to Path, CorelDRAW and Affinity Convert to Curves. The PNG then matches the design exactly instead of borrowing a substitute face.
Going the other way is two clicks away: PNG to EPS traces a picture back into vector shapes, and SVG to EPS writes a drawing out as PostScript for a print shop. If the file you were handed is a PDF rather than an EPS, PDF to PNG is the same conversion for that format.
Yes. There is no account, no payment, no watermark on the picture and no limit on how many files you convert. A short rate limit is the only restriction, so one visitor cannot occupy the server while everybody else waits.
It is cropped to the bounding box recorded in the EPS, so the picture is the size of the drawing with no sheet of paper around it. Points become pixels according to the resolution: a 200 × 100 pt logo is 200 × 100 px at 72 dpi, 417 × 208 px at 150 dpi and 833 × 417 px at 300 dpi.
No. The file is read on the server, so nothing has to be installed on your computer and no editor has to open it. Any EPS or PS file up to 25 MB works, including the old PostScript documents that design tools saved before PDF took over.
One file per run, up to 25 MB, and one page is rendered. Text is drawn with whatever fonts the server has, so an EPS that names a typeface it never embedded shows a substitute — outlining the text first avoids that. A file with an enormous number of paths can also reach the time limit and is stopped with a message instead of a half-drawn image.
Files are processed on our server and not stored. The EPS is rendered once and only the finished PNG is sent back to your browser, so the download is the only copy that leaves the conversion and no account is tied to it.
