EPS to PNG or JPG: turn an EPS logo into an image

Turn an EPS file, like a logo from a designer or print shop, into a PNG with a transparent background or a JPG at 150, 300 or 600 dpi. Converted on our server.

Uses our serverWhen you press the button, the EPS file goes over HTTPS to our server (api.ethorns.com), passing through Cloudflare, our network provider. It's turned into an image in memory inside a sealed container with no internet access and deleted as soon as the image is sent back; we keep no copy, and the file name is never sent.

How to use it

  1. Drop the EPS file, or click to choose it. Nothing is uploaded yet.
  2. Choose PNG (transparent background) or JPG (white background), and the resolution: 150, 300 (the default) or 600 dpi.
  3. Press Convert EPS. The file goes to our server, and the image downloads by itself.

When someone sends you a logo as .eps

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is an old but still common format for logos and illustrations. Designers, print shops and brand kits send it because it's vector: the drawing is made of lines and curves, not pixels, so it can be printed at any size. The trouble is that most phones, Windows, Word, Canva and social networks can't open it.

This tool draws the EPS as a picture with Ghostscript, the PostScript interpreter many print shops use, on our server. It crops the image to the drawing's own edges, which the file states in its %%BoundingBox line, so you don't get a whole blank page around a small logo.

Example: one logo for a website and a flyer

A client sends you logo-tienda.eps and wants it on their online store and on a printed flyer. Drop the file, leave PNG and 300 dpi, and press Convert EPS. logo-tienda.png downloads: the logo with a transparent background, so it sits cleanly on the store's colored header.

For the flyer, convert it again at 600 dpi, so the edges stay sharp when it's printed large. dpi means dots per inch: if the drawing is 10 cm wide, 300 dpi gives about 1,180 pixels across and 600 dpi about 2,360. For WhatsApp or an email signature, 150 dpi is plenty. JPG has no transparency, so its background comes out white: use it only where PNG isn't accepted.

What you lose, and files it can't open

The result is a picture made of pixels, not vector anymore, so enlarging it later makes it blurry. Keep the original .eps for print and for any designer who needs to edit it. Fonts the EPS uses but doesn't include may be replaced by a similar one; if the text looks different, ask for a version with the text converted to outlines.

It only takes EPS: a file whose first line says EPSF, or the older DOS EPS that carries a preview inside. An Illustrator (.ai) file or a PDF isn't EPS: save it as EPS from the program that made it or, for a PDF, use PDF to JPG, which runs on your device. The image can be at most about 40 megapixels, so a very large drawing at 600 dpi will ask you for a lower resolution. A file without the %%BoundingBox size line can't be cropped, and the tool says so instead of guessing.

FAQ

Is my EPS file uploaded to a server?

Yes. A browser can't read PostScript, so this is one of the few eThorns tools that use our server; Compress images and Convert images run on your device. Nothing is uploaded until you press the button. The file is turned into an image in memory, in a sealed container with no internet access, and deleted as soon as the image is sent back. No copy is kept, and the file name isn't sent.

PNG or JPG?

PNG for logos and anything that goes on top of a color or a photo: it keeps the background transparent and the edges clean. JPG only where PNG isn't accepted: the background comes out white and the file is lighter.

Which resolution should I choose?

150 dpi for screens: web pages, WhatsApp, presentations. 300 dpi for normal printing, like flyers and business cards. 600 dpi for large prints, or when you'll crop a small part of the drawing. A higher resolution makes a heavier file.

Can I turn a PNG back into an EPS?

Not with this tool: it only goes from EPS to an image. Turning pixels back into vector lines is called tracing, and it needs a design program like Inkscape or Illustrator. It's usually better to ask whoever made the logo for the original files.

Is there a size limit?

50 MB per file, images up to about 40 megapixels, and a few conversions per minute per person. Our server does one or two conversions at a time, so at busy moments it may ask you to try again in a minute.
