RAW to EPS Converter
Convert RAW to EPS in your browser. The camera's embedded JPEG preview is what gets converted, not the sensor data; it matches what the camera showed on its screen. No raw development happens here. You get an EPS that wraps the pixels as a PostScript image; it contains no vector paths. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use RAW to EPS
- 1
Add your RAW files: drop them here, choose them, or paste from the clipboard.
- 2
There is nothing to tune: the EPS is written uncompressed. Resizing and rotating are under More options if you need them.
- 3
Click Convert. Each file is decoded and encoded in a background thread on this device.

Download the .eps files one at a time or together as a ZIP.
Why use Aback Images for raw to eps
Where the EPS goes next
EPS opens in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, InDesign, Affinity Designer, Ghostscript, and Inkscape through Ghostscript.
EPS next to RAW
The EPS stores the camera preview's pixels uncompressed, so it can be as large as the 20 to 80 MB raw file, or larger, depending on the preview's resolution.
No new artefacts
The preview inside the RAW is a camera JPEG; the EPS stores its decoded pixels uncompressed, so this step adds no compression damage of its own.
Processed on your device
Your images are decoded, edited and encoded inside this browser tab by Web Workers. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
RAW vs EPS
What changes from RAW to EPS
Encoding: the RAW uses uncompressed, lossless JPEG or vendor-specific coding of the sensor data, depending on the maker; EPS uses PostScript program text, with an optional binary TIFF preview or an EPSI hex preview, and the download is an EPS that wraps the pixels as a PostScript image; it contains no vector paths.
Bit depth: 12 to 16 bits per channel in the RAW; EPS allows resolution-independent artwork, with previews usually 8-bit, and the EPS written here has 8 bits per channel. The sensor's 12 to 16 bits are not used: the camera's 8-bit preview is converted.
Colour: camera-native RGB from a colour filter mosaic in the RAW; EPS supports CMYK, RGB and spot colours, written here as 8-bit sRGB.
Metadata: the RAW can carry EXIF and vendor maker notes, almost always with an embedded JPEG preview; EPS can carry DSC comments such as %%BoundingBox, %%Creator and %%Title, but nothing is copied across.
About RAW
Camera RAW files (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF and others) hold the unprocessed sensor data from a camera along with an embedded full-size JPEG preview rendered by the camera.
.RAW is an extension rather than one format. Panasonic and Leica compacts wrote TIFF-like .RAW files before Panasonic moved to RW2, and scanners and scientific cameras use .raw for headerless dumps with no width, height or layout recorded, which nothing can read without being told those values.
RAW files usually come from older Panasonic and Leica compacts that saved .RAW, and scanners or scientific cameras that use the extension for pixel dumps.
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.
When converting RAW to EPS makes sense
EPS is the better choice for print artwork and logos for professional layout software, while RAW suits editing in Lightroom, Capture One or darktable.
EPS strengths: Vector artwork that prints at any size; Accepted by print shops and older layout software; CMYK and spot colours. Drawbacks to weigh: Browsers and phones cannot display it; Needs a PostScript interpreter to render the vector data; Superseded by PDF and SVG.
Limitations
- A headerless .raw pixel dump has no preview and no size information, so it cannot be converted here.
- The EPS holds pixels inside a PostScript wrapper, so it prints at the resolution of your image and will not get sharper when enlarged.
- Transparency is flattened onto the background colour, because the EPS image has no alpha channel.

Frequently asked questions
Does converting RAW to EPS lose quality?
EPS is written uncompressed, so the pixels are stored exactly as decoded. Those pixels come from the camera's JPEG preview, so its compression stays, but nothing new is lost. The sensor's 12 to 16 bits are not used: the camera's 8-bit preview is converted.
Does this process the RAW sensor data?
No. Camera RAW files carry a JPEG rendered by the camera when the picture was taken, and that is what gets converted, so the result matches what you saw on the camera screen. For full development (white balance, highlight recovery, lens corrections) use a RAW editor.
Is the EPS a vector file?
No. The EPS wraps the pixels as a PostScript image, which is what layout and print software need to place it, but it has no vector paths, so it does not get sharper when enlarged. For real vectors, trace the image to SVG first.
Which apps open EPS files?
Illustrator, CorelDRAW, InDesign, Affinity Designer, Ghostscript, and Inkscape through Ghostscript. It does not open in web browsers.
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.
