HEIC stands for High-Efficiency Image Container file, a new or next-generation container file format developed by Apple Inc. for new models of iPads and iPhones. The container format can store and transfer image sequences and individual digital images. A HEIC file covers rich multimedia files, including other media streams like video, audio, and time texts. The file format uses high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) to compress images, significantly saving space and bandwidth. HEIC advanced compression technology preserves image quality, resulting in small and high-quality photos compared to PNGs and JPEGs.
A PS file is a page description language (PDL) format commonly used in desktop publishing and printing. The .ps file extension is integral to professional printing workflows because it offers a high level of control over the appearance of printed materials. PS files contain commands and instructions describing the layout, graphics, images, and text elements to be displayed on screen or printed. They describe image contents in a resolution-independent way, allowing the files to be printed at different sizes without losing quality. Although PostScript files were extensively used in the past, the Portable Document Format (PDF) has largely replaced them in many applications due to its enhanced features and ease of use. However, PostScript remains important in specific professional printing contexts.
To convert files from HEIC to PS use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any HEIC photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the HEIC pics you want to convert.
After uploading the HEIC image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select PS.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted PS file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the PS file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a HEIC file as a PS file, you first convert it to PS and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from HEIC to PS, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the HEIC file, Download the PS file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of PostScript (PS) is its compatibility with many older printing systems and desktop publishing environments, making it accessible to a broad audience in specific contexts. PS is best used for documents and complex layouts. The main disadvantage of HEIC is its limited support outside Apple's devices, which can create compatibility challenges. Therefore, converting HEIC images to more widely supported formats like PS can improve accessibility and ensure broader compatibility.
