Convert your PNG file to EPS

Create vector image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file and, from this, create a vector-based EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file that you can then download and edit within vector file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. If you have multiple PNG files to convert, then our tool can also batch convert PNG files too. Currently, our tool supports up to 25 conversions at a time.

Options are available to specify or remove a background color if the source PNG image does not contain a transparent background. Our tool can attempt to determine the background color automatically, or you can manually specify the background color to remove.

PNG to EPS Conversion Options

Mode

The Mode setting is used by the tool to inform it of the best way to vectorize the image by providing it with clues as to the type of image being submitted. The Auto mode attempts to find the most suitable settings for the image uploaded. There are, however, other options to help fine-tune this process, which we explain in more detail in the Tool Options section below.

Hole Reduction

With this setting, it is possible to reduce the inclusion of small holes within the final vector file caused by small, contrasting areas of the source PNG file, which can be useful in situations where the source image has not been optimized for use with the tool.

Merge Similar Colors

Use this value to merge similar colors; this is useful if the image is of low quality. A higher number can help reduce the effects of anti-aliasing in the PNG image.

Remove Background

When this option is enabled, the tool will automatically attempt to make the background of your image transparent.

Specify Color

Manually specify your image background color rather than our tool trying to automatically work it out.

Color

If the tool is unable to identify the background and you know the background color, you can specify it here.

Tolerance

This value can be adjusted to control the background removal tolerance. The higher the value, the more background is removed.

A higher value is useful for creating smoother results if your image is anti-aliased.

Description

The PNG graphics file format is a commonly used format for storing 2D images, which can be highly compressed by the use of a palette if the image has a sufficiently low number of colors (256 colors in general). The PNG file is then further compressed using the DEFLATE compression algorithm to ensure small file sizes that are fast to download.

PNG files are seen as the logical successor to the GIF image file format and was devised in the mid-1990s as a superior format to GIF. PNG files are generally used for company logos, icons, and other non-photographic image content. Saving a digital photo in the PNG format will create a much larger file than an equivalent JPG image, hence the PNG format being unsuitable for most digital photo content.

Description

The EPS file format was originally created back in 1987 by the then-founders of Adobe and Aldus. The format went on to become the base format used by Adobe Illustrator. The format started out on Apple Macintoshes, with later adaptations for the Windows Operating System.

An EPS file is a raster graphics file format capable of high-quality rendering without loss of detail when scaled up. The format, although vector-based, also contains a bitmap preview of the final file to enable the computers of the 1980s with limited processing power to easily render a file preview without needing to parse the full vector file.
