Your PNG traced into vector shapes, then written as an EPS that scales like artwork.
Swap: EPS to PNGA PNG is a grid of pixels with a vector extension bolted on by request. An EPS has to be shapes to be worth anything.
Upload forms for print, embroidery, engraving and signage name the formats they accept, and EPS is nearly always on the list while PNG is not. Dropping a PNG into an EPS wrapper satisfies the extension and nothing else: the file still holds a picture, and the prepress operator still has to trace it by hand.
A 600 px logo looks fine in a browser and turns into a staircase on a van, a shopfront or a two-metre banner. Vector shapes have no native resolution: the same file and the same curves are used at every size, which is why a traced logo survives being scaled up twenty times.
An EPS opens in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer, Inkscape and most sign-cutting software, on old installations as well as current ones. That single file can be placed in a layout, recoloured, or sent to a plotter, without anyone asking for another export.
The PNG is traced into vector shapes first, and those shapes are what the EPS contains.
Every colour region of the image is followed and rewritten as a closed path with its own fill. The result is not a picture wrapped in an EPS: it is geometry you can scale, place and edit, and no bitmap travels inside the file.
Solid colours, crisp edges and a limited palette trace almost indistinguishable from the original, and the result is usually lighter too. A badge, a wordmark, a pictogram or a single-colour stamp is the ideal starting point.
A photograph has millions of shades and no outlines, so tracing turns it into bands of flat colour — a screen-printed look, sometimes pleasing, never photographic. If the image has to stay a photo, keep it as a picture; if you only need a printed shape, this is the honest route.
Choose the preset to match the image rather than the one that happens to be selected: a logo or icon for flat graphics, an illustration for multi-colour art, black and white for line work, a photo when you want the posterised effect. The same PNG under two presets gives two visibly different drawings.
Three steps, no account and nothing to install.
Drag the file onto the box, click to choose it, or paste it with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). Files up to 25 MB are accepted. Transparency is handled as empty space, so a cut-out logo keeps its shape instead of gaining a white rectangle around it.
Logo and flat colours is already selected and is the right answer for most PNGs. Switch to illustration if the artwork has many shades, to black and white for line art, or to photo if a posterised version is what you want.
The file arrives with the upload name and an .eps extension. Open it in your editor to check the paths, then place it in the layout, upload it to the shop or hand it to the cutter.
The trace can only follow what is visible in the PNG, so a little preparation pays off twice.
Edges are the only information the trace works from. A 200 px export gives blobby corners, while the same artwork at 2000 px gives clean curves. If the file is small, enlarge it in your editor first rather than tracing it at its original size.
A gradient, a photo backdrop or a paper texture behind the logo becomes extra paths and speckles. Cut the shape out on transparency, or fill the background with one flat colour that appears nowhere in the artwork, and the trace has a much simpler job.
For the web, a design tool or an editable asset, SVG is the same traced geometry in a smaller file — PNG to SVG does exactly that conversion. Come back here when a print shop, a cutter or a stock upload insists on EPS.
Yes. Converting is free and there is no account, no trial and no watermark on the EPS you download. A short rate limit is the only restriction, so one visitor cannot occupy the converter for everyone else.
It is a real vector. The PNG is traced into vector shapes first, and the EPS is written from those shapes: closed paths with their own fills, no embedded bitmap. That is why it can be enlarged to a shopfront without softening, and why the paths are selectable and recolourable in an editor. The trade is that a trace is a redraw, not a mathematical recovery of the original design.
Illustrator: File → Open for a direct look, or File → Place to drop it into a layout and keep the colours as they were traced. CorelDRAW: File → Import, then choose Import as curves so you get editable paths. Inkscape: File → Import and watch the preview in the dialog, then ungroup the object to reach the individual paths. Affinity Designer: File > Open, and the drawing appears as a layer of curves.
Each upload may be up to 25 MB, one file per conversion. A PNG that large is normally a photo or an embedded screenshot; since detail beyond a few thousand pixels does not improve a trace, resize the copy first and the result is the same in a fraction of the time.
Files are processed on our server and not stored. The PNG is traced and converted as it arrives, and only the finished EPS is sent back to your browser, so nothing is kept afterwards and no account is tied to the download.
