PNG is a short form for Portable Network Graphics. It is used for lossless image compression, which minimizes the loss of image data during compression. It supports a wide range of colors such as grayscale, indexed color, and true color which are crucial in high-quality digital image display. Due to its accessibility across all the image editing software and web browsers, PNG is one of the most popular formats with a wide range of applications.
The Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file format is a vector graphic for creating and sharing images using the PostScript programming language. Unlike raster graphics or bitmap file formats such as PNG and JPEG, the vector elements in an EPS file allow for lossless editing and scaling of images. This means that the vector components of an EPS file can be scaled from thumbnail size to billboard size without losing quality. Vector graphics utilize mathematical formulas to represent image details, including lines, shapes, and curves, rather than storing such information as a network of pixels. However, EPS files can also contain embedded raster images, which do not scale as efficiently as vector elements. The encapsulated nature of EPS means it can include a low-resolution raster preview for quick viewing. EPS has been widely used for transferring graphics between different applications, though its usage has declined in favor of newer formats like PDF and SVG.
To convert files from PNG to EPS 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 PNG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the PNG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the PNG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select EPS.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted EPS file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the EPS 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 PNG file as a EPS file, you first convert it to EPS and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from PNG to EPS, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the PNG file, Download the EPS file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of EPS is its support for vector graphics and text, which can result in smaller file sizes than PNG images. EPS also supports features like high dynamic range (HDR) and transparency through vector masks and other techniques, similar to PNG. The disadvantage of PNG is that it uses lossless compression, which results in larger file sizes than compressed EPS files. Converting from PNG to EPS can be advantageous for vector graphics, illustrations, and designs requiring scalability and compatibility with professional printing and publishing software.
