How to open an EPS file

Some PC users may need to open a file with the EPS extension. This could be an extension accidentally encountered on the network, or a person found a similar file on his computer, or the user works with vector graphics, and there was no tool for opening the .EPS format at hand. The fact is that it became necessary to open a file of this type, and tools are needed that can help with this. In this article I will tell you how to open an EPS file, which programs and services will help us with this, and how to work with them.

What is EPS?

This term .eps is an abbreviation of the words "Encapsulated PostScript" , which in Russian means "encapsulated (containing something inside) PostScript" .

For those who are not familiar with this terminology, I will explain that “ PostScript ” is a page description language, which provides ample opportunities for creating high-quality vector graphics. Each PostScript document is represented as a program that creates on the screen (or prints on a printer) an image.

Accordingly, it is clear from this that EPS files are PostScript documents that describe any drawings (drawings) that, moreover, can be placed inside other PostScript documents. At the same time, the saved EPS file usually includes a preview file of this image in low resolution, allowing some programs to display this “preview” file on the screen of your PC.

The basic program for creating EPS-files is considered Adobe Illustrator - this is a famous graphic editor for creating vector graphics from the company Adobe Systems. In addition to it, there are a number of services and programs that work fairly well with EPS files. We turn to their consideration.
