How Do You Convert EPS to PDF?
You convert EPS to PDF by adding the file to QuickCatPDF's EPS to PDF converter and clicking Convert to PDF. The artwork stays a vector, so logos and illustrations stay sharp at any size, and the page is cropped to the artwork or fitted to A4 or Letter.
PostScript (.ps) and EPSI files work too. It's free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
How to Convert an EPS File to PDF With QuickCatPDF
Converting EPS to PDF takes four steps.
- Click Select EPS files or drop your EPS or PostScript files on the page.
- Choose the Page size: the drawing's own size, A4 or Letter.
- With several files, choose separate PDFs or one combined PDF.
- Click Convert to PDF, then download the PDF.
Why Convert EPS to PDF?
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is an older format for logos, illustrations and print artwork. Most phones, browsers and office programs can't open it, but they all open PDF. Converting keeps the vector shapes and text, so the PDF is just as sharp as the original and usually much smaller than a picture of it.
In our test, a 300 × 200 point logo with lines, a circle and text became a 3 KB PDF in about half a second. The page was exactly the size of the logo, the PDF contained no pictures at all, and the text could be selected, with its font embedded.
Which Page Size Should I Choose?
| Page size | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Drawing's own size | The page is cropped to the artwork's bounding box | Logos and artwork to place in other documents |
| A4 or Letter, fitted | The artwork is scaled to fit a standard page, centred | Printing, or sending as a document |
A multi-page PostScript file becomes a multi-page PDF; in our test a 2-page flyer gave a 2-page PDF.
How Is the File Converted?
EPS is a small program that draws the picture, so it can't be shown safely in a browser. QuickCatPDF converts it on our server with Ghostscript, a long-established PostScript engine, in a locked-down mode that can't read or write anything else on the server. In our test, a PostScript file that tried to read a server file was simply refused.
Frequently asked questions
Is EPS to PDF free?
Yes, free with no sign-up and no watermark. There's a fair-use limit of 60 files an hour.
Are my files kept?
No, they're sent over HTTPS, converted and deleted right after conversion, and never kept more than 1 hour.
Will the PDF be high quality?
Yes, shapes and text stay vectors, so the PDF is sharp at any zoom. Pictures inside the EPS keep their own resolution.
Can I convert several EPS files into one PDF?
Yes, add up to 20 files and choose One combined PDF; each file becomes a page with its own bookmark.
Can I convert a PDF back to EPS?
Yes, use PDF to EPS. For other pictures, use Image to PDF or SVG to PDF.
