How to Convert EPS to PNG

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a legacy vector format used in professional print workflows, stock image libraries, and older graphic design tools. PNG is the modern raster format for web and app graphics. Converting EPS to PNG rasterizes the vector content at your chosen resolution — essential when you need the artwork in a web-ready, universally viewable format.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Upload your EPS file

    Select your .eps file. EPS files from Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, stock libraries (Getty, Shutterstock), and design archives all convert cleanly. Complex EPS with transparency or gradients render correctly in most converters.

  2. 2

    Set resolution and output size

    Choose your target resolution. For web use, 96 PPI at the display size. For print, 300 PPI. For retina/HiDPI displays, export at 2× your target CSS size. EPS is vector so there's no upper limit — request any resolution and the artwork stays sharp.

  3. 3

    Handle transparency settings

    Many EPS files have transparent backgrounds. Choose PNG with alpha channel to preserve transparency, or specify a background colour (white for print use).

  4. 4

    Download the PNG

    Use the PNG directly in websites, email newsletters, PowerPoint presentations, or app UI assets. EPS is no longer needed once you have a properly sized PNG.

Why convert EPS to PNG?

EPS was built for PostScript printers in the 1980s. PNG was built for the web in the 1990s. Converting EPS to PNG is how you bring legacy print artwork into every modern digital context.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert EPS to PNG using Ghostscript?
`gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pngalpha -r300 -sOutputFile=output.png input.eps`. Change `-r300` to your desired DPI. Use `-sDEVICE=png16m` for no transparency (RGB only). Ghostscript is free and available on all platforms.
ImageMagick command for EPS to PNG?
`convert -density 300 input.eps -quality 90 output.png`. The `-density` flag must come before the input filename. For transparent backgrounds: `convert -density 300 -background none input.eps output.png`.
My EPS file renders with a white box around it — how do I remove it?
The EPS bounding box may include white space. In Ghostscript, add `-dEPSCrop` to crop to the bounding box: `gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=pngalpha -r300 -sOutputFile=output.png input.eps`.
