Encapsulated PostScript, extension .eps, is a single-page PostScript graphic wrapped with a bounding-box declaration so other documents can place it at the correct size. For two decades it was the standard way to hand vector artwork — logos above all — to printers and page-layout software.
Batch files can each use a different output. Nothing uploads for local conversions.
Working inputs include camera RAW, browser-local audio/video, PDF, CBZ/CBR comics, office documents, ebooks, markup, 3D models, structured text, images, and archives.Adobe introduced EPS in 1987 as a constrained, embeddable profile of its PostScript page-description language. It ruled professional print workflows through the 1990s before PDF absorbed its role; Microsoft Office went as far as disabling EPS import in 2017 over parser security concerns.
Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Affinity Designer still open .eps, and Ghostscript converts it on every desktop platform. No web browser renders it, and Microsoft Office no longer imports it, so day-to-day use now means converting first. Novus Convert reads .eps through the preview image the format embeds — the TIFF or WMF section of a binary EPS wrapper, or the ASCII-hex %%BeginPreview block of an EPSI file — and never interprets the PostScript program itself; running untrusted PostScript is precisely the risk that pushed Office to drop EPS import, so this converter does not do it. An EPS saved without a preview is refused with an explanation rather than partially rendered.
DSC header comments record title, creator, and creation date, and Illustrator-authored files may carry XMP packets as well. None of it survives preview extraction: the result is a raster image of the preview the file already contained.
