SVG to EPS
This SVG to EPS converter is for legacy workflows where EPS is explicitly required by a vendor or older software stack.
When you need EPS
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) was the standard before PDF took over. You might still need it for:
- Older print workflows - Some print shops haven't updated their systems
- Stock image submissions - Some stock sites still require EPS
- Legacy software - Older versions of CorelDRAW, QuarkXPress, etc.
- Specific vendor requirements - Signage, embroidery, promotional products
EPS vs SVG vs PDF
For most modern uses, you don't need EPS:
- SVG - Best for web, modern software, and developers
- PDF - Best for sharing and most print shops today
- EPS - Only when specifically required by legacy systems
If someone just says "send me a vector file" and doesn't specify EPS, ask if PDF works. It usually does.
For modern compatibility, use SVG to PDF first and keep EPS as fallback. Background reading: Encapsulated PostScript.
