85 keeps photos visually identical to the original. Lower it only when you need a smaller file.
JPG, BMP and EPS have no transparency. Transparent pixels are filled with this color.
Hex color used behind transparent pixels, e.g. #FFFFFF.
This format holds a single image. Choose GIF or WebP output if you want to keep the animation.
A multi-size icon contains several resolutions in one file; browsers and operating systems pick the one they need.
Keep the original dimensions, or enter one side and the aspect ratio is kept.
Pixels for the side you chose above.
Percentage of the original dimensions.
sRGB is right for screens and the web. Keep the original for print workflows; grayscale discards color.
Metadata only, 0 keeps the original value. Printers and some portals read this number; it does not change pixel dimensions.
How to use this tool
- 1
Upload the PNG files
Drop up to 20 PNGs, 95 MB each. Use the largest version you have; the EPS will hold exactly those pixels.
- 2
Choose the background fill
EPS has no transparency, so transparent areas are filled with the color under Transparent areas (White by default). Color space is set to Keep original.

Press Convert to EPS and save the files, or one ZIP for a batch.
PNG to EPS for print shops, LaTeX and Illustrator
Encapsulated PostScript is Adobe's late-1980s format for dropping one piece of PostScript artwork into a page layout; version 3.0 of the specification dates from 1992. Through the 1990s and 2000s it was the standard way to hand logos and figures to printers and typesetters, so many sign makers, promotional-product shops and publishing templates still list EPS as the format they want.
An EPS can hold vector paths, pixels or both. When the source is a PNG, the converter writes the pixels into the EPS as an image, with the PNG's dimensions unchanged. That satisfies upload rules and lets classic LaTeX with dvips include the figure, and Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDRAW and Inkscape can all place or open it.
What it cannot do is redraw your graphic as shapes. If the printer asked for EPS because they need a vector logo for cutting vinyl, embroidery or large-format printing, a pixel EPS will be rejected or come out jagged. See how to convert PNG to SVG for the tracing route.

PNG
Portable Network Graphics
PNG is a lossless raster format published in 1996 by the PNG Development Group and later standardised by the W3C and ISO. It keeps every pixel exactly, supports full alpha transparency and handles text, sharp edges and flat colours without artefacts. That precision makes it ideal for screenshots, logos, icons and interface graphics. The trade-off is size: photographs saved as PNG are often several times larger than the same photo as JPEG or WebP. All browsers, operating systems and editors open PNG files.

EPS
Encapsulated PostScript
EPS is a PostScript-based graphics file from Adobe, long used to exchange vector artwork with printers and publishers. It can contain vectors, text and embedded raster images along with a low-resolution preview. EPS does not support transparency, and modern software has largely replaced it with PDF and SVG. Opening it typically requires Illustrator, Inkscape, Affinity Designer or a Ghostscript-based tool, and browsers cannot display it.

PNG goes into an EPS wrapper when a print shop, a dvips-based LaTeX build or an older layout tool will take only PostScript artwork, even though the picture inside stays a grid of pixels.
Raster inside EPS is still raster
Enlarging the EPS enlarges its pixels. Send the biggest PNG you have, and if the printer needs CMYK or vector paths, tell them the artwork is a bitmap so they can advise before printing.
Resolution, background and file size before you send it
Work out the printed size first. At 300 pixels per inch, a business card logo 2 inches wide needs 600 px and an 8-inch banner graphic needs 2400 px. If your PNG is smaller, the EPS will print soft at that size no matter what the file says, so look for a larger original before converting.
Transparent areas become solid. White suits most paper; on a colored stock or a dark garment, choose Black or a Custom color that matches, or ask the printer whether they can knock out the background themselves.
Expect the EPS to be larger than the PNG, sometimes several times larger, because PostScript stores image data less compactly than PNG's compression. That is normal and does not affect print quality. For a document or presentation, keep the PNG, or use PNG to PDF when a printer accepts PDF, which most now do.
PNG to EPS questions
Will a print shop accept an EPS made from my PNG?
It will accept the file type, but check the resolution they expect. Commercial printing usually wants about 300 pixels per inch at the final size, so a logo printed 4 inches wide needs roughly 1200 px. Wrapping a small PNG in EPS adds no detail.
Can I turn a PNG logo into a real vector EPS?
That takes tracing, not conversion. PNG to SVG traces the shapes into paths; open the SVG in Illustrator or Inkscape and save it as EPS, or run it through SVG to EPS. Simple, high-contrast logos trace best.
Does pdfLaTeX need EPS figures?
No. pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX include PNG, JPG and PDF directly. EPS is only needed on the classic latex, dvips and ps2pdf route, which some older journal and thesis templates still use.
Is the EPS in CMYK?
No. The converter keeps the PNG's RGB colors, or grayscale if you choose Grayscale under Color space; it does not separate colors into CMYK. Most print shops convert RGB files themselves, and Photoshop can do it if they ask for CMYK supplied.
Why can't I insert the EPS into Word or PowerPoint?
Microsoft disabled EPS import in Office in 2017 after security problems with the filter, so current versions of Word and PowerPoint refuse it. For Office documents, insert the PNG itself.
