EPS Files and the Web Don't Mix
You have an EPS file - maybe a logo, technical illustration, or vector artwork from a designer. You need to display it on a website. The problem? Browsers don't support EPS files natively. No modern browser can render Encapsulated PostScript directly.
Converting to HTML solves this completely. Your vector graphic becomes an embeddable web element that displays perfectly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and every other browser. No plugins, no special software on the viewer's end.
How to Convert EPS to HTML
- Upload your EPS file - Drag and drop or click to select your Encapsulated PostScript file
- Select HTML as output - Choose HTML from the format options
- Download your HTML - Get web-ready code you can embed anywhere
The entire process takes seconds. No account needed, no software to install.
Why EPS Files Need Conversion
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) was created by Adobe in 1987 for print workflows. It became the standard for exchanging vector artwork between design applications and print shops. However, the format predates the modern web by years.
Here's why EPS doesn't work online:
- No browser support - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge cannot display EPS
- PostScript complexity - EPS files contain programming code that requires an interpreter
- Print-focused design - The format was built for CMYK print, not RGB screens
- Large file sizes - EPS files often contain embedded preview images and metadata
HTML output transforms your vector content into something every web browser understands.
Common Situations
Website Logo from a Designer
Your graphic designer delivered your logo as an EPS file. That's standard practice for print - but you need it on your website. Converting to HTML gives you a format that works in web pages without losing the crisp vector quality.
Technical Diagrams and Illustrations
Engineering diagrams, architectural drawings, and scientific illustrations are often created in vector formats like EPS. In our testing, these complex graphics converted well to HTML while maintaining line precision and text legibility.
Legacy Print Assets Going Digital
Companies with years of print materials often have archives of EPS files - brochure graphics, advertisement artwork, product illustrations. Converting to HTML makes these assets usable on websites and digital platforms.
What to Expect from the Conversion
When you convert EPS to HTML, the vector data is transformed into web-compatible code. Here's what happens:
- Vector paths - Converted to SVG elements embedded within the HTML structure
- Colors - CMYK values are translated to RGB for screen display
- Text - Text elements are preserved and remain selectable in most cases
- Gradients and effects - Complex fills are converted to CSS-compatible equivalents
Simple graphics with solid colors and clean paths convert perfectly. Complex EPS files with advanced PostScript effects may see some simplification - but the core visual remains intact.
Alternatives to Consider
HTML isn't the only option for getting EPS content on the web. Depending on your needs, consider these alternatives:
- EPS to SVG - If you want pure vector output that scales infinitely, SVG is the native web vector format. It offers the best quality for logos and graphics that need to resize
- EPS to PNG - For a simple image file at a fixed resolution. Good when you know the exact display size
- EPS to JPG - Smaller file sizes for photographs or complex images with many colors
HTML output is ideal when you need an embeddable code block rather than an image file.
