SVG to EPS
EPS is a legacy vector format that some print shops and older software still require. If someone asked for EPS, this will convert your SVG.
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.
