EPS to PNG Converter

Convert EPS to PNG in your browser. The converter uses the preview image saved inside the EPS, not its vector artwork, because no browser can run PostScript. You get a lossless 8-bit PNG with full alpha. Nothing is uploaded.

Why use Aback Images for eps to png

Where the PNG goes next

PNG opens in every browser, operating system and image editor.

PNG next to EPS

The PNG is built from the preview stored in the EPS, so its size follows that preview's resolution rather than the complexity of the artwork.

Written without a lossy pass

The PNG is written losslessly, so the pixels decoded from the EPS arrive unchanged.

Processed on your device

Your images are decoded, edited and encoded inside this browser tab by Web Workers. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

EPS vs PNG

What changes from EPS to PNG

Encoding: the EPS uses PostScript program text, with an optional binary TIFF preview or an EPSI hex preview; PNG uses lossless DEFLATE with a prediction filter chosen per row, and the download is a lossless 8-bit PNG with full alpha.

Bit depth: resolution-independent artwork, with previews usually 8-bit in the EPS; PNG allows 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 bits per channel, and the PNG written here has 8 bits per channel.

Colour: CMYK, RGB and spot colours in the EPS; PNG supports RGB, greyscale, or an indexed palette of up to 256 colours, written here as 8-bit sRGB.

Metadata: the EPS can carry DSC comments such as %%BoundingBox, %%Creator and %%Title; PNG can carry text chunks, an ICC profile, physical resolution and EXIF in an eXIf chunk, but nothing is copied across.

About EPS

EPS is a PostScript drawing packaged for placing inside other documents. It was the exchange format of print and logo design for decades; most EPS files also carry a raster preview so layout software can show them.

An EPS is a PostScript program with DSC comments ('%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0', %%BoundingBox). Files from Illustrator, Photoshop and CorelDRAW usually start with a 30-byte binary header (C5 D0 D3 C6) that points to a TIFF preview; others carry an EPSI hex preview between %%BeginPreview and %%EndPreview.

EPS files usually come from Illustrator, CorelDRAW, InDesign, TeX figures and stock vector libraries.

About PNG

PNG stores pixels losslessly with full alpha transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos, UI and anything with sharp edges, but photos saved as PNG are several times larger than JPEG.

A PNG opens with an 8-byte signature and is a chain of chunks, each with its own CRC: IHDR (size, depth, colour type), optional PLTE and tRNS for palettes, one or more IDAT chunks with the compressed rows, and IEND.

When converting EPS to PNG makes sense

PNG is the better choice for screenshots, logos, graphics and anything that needs transparency, while EPS suits print artwork and logos for professional layout software.

PNG strengths: Lossless: no quality loss, ever; Full transparency with smooth edges; Perfect for text, screenshots and graphics. Drawbacks to weigh: Large files for photographs; No standard animation (that is APNG).

Limitations

  • The preview image stored inside the EPS is converted, not the vector artwork, so the output resolution is whatever the preview was saved at, often screen resolution. Raster EPS files, an image wrapped in PostScript, are read at full resolution.
  • An EPS with no embedded preview (Inkscape's default and hand-written PostScript, for example) cannot be converted here, because a browser cannot run PostScript.
  • A PNG of a photograph is often several times larger than a JPG; PNG pays off for screenshots, graphics and anything with transparency.
  • The PNG is written in full colour; Compress PNG can shrink it further with a palette.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting EPS to PNG lose quality?

PNG is written losslessly, so the pixels are stored exactly as decoded.

Does this render the vector artwork in the EPS?

No. Browsers cannot run PostScript, so the converter uses the preview image that Illustrator, Photoshop, CorelDRAW and similar apps save inside the EPS, which is usually screen resolution. An EPS that simply wraps a raster image is read at full resolution. For full-resolution vector artwork, export from the original design app, or render the EPS with Ghostscript or Inkscape.

Which apps open PNG files?

Every browser, operating system and image editor.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Processing happens inside your browser with WebAssembly and Web Workers. The site only downloads the app code and codecs; your files never leave your device. You can confirm this with the live upload counter on the tool, or in your browser's network panel.

Can I process many files at once?

Yes. Drop a whole selection or folder. Files are processed in parallel on several worker threads, each result can be downloaded on its own, and everything can be saved as one ZIP.

Is it free? Is there a file limit or watermark?

It is free with no account, no watermark and no daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory: very large images (over roughly 100 megapixels) may be refused to keep the tab from crashing.
