Why Convert EPS to TIFF?

You have an EPS file from a designer or client, but your print service or publishing workflow requires TIFF. EPS files contain vector graphics that stay sharp at any size, but many commercial printing systems, photo labs, and publishing platforms only accept raster formats like TIFF.

Converting your EPS files to TIFF rasterizes the vector artwork at high resolution, creating a print-ready image that works with virtually every printing and publishing system in existence.

How to Convert EPS to TIFF

  1. Upload your EPS file - Drag and drop or click to select your vector graphic
  2. Select TIFF output - Choose TIFF as your target format for maximum print quality
  3. Download your TIFF - Get your rasterized image ready for printing or publishing

The entire process takes seconds. No Adobe Illustrator or expensive software required.

EPS vs TIFF: Understanding the Difference

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector format that stores graphics as mathematical paths. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a raster format that stores images as pixels. Here's what that means for your workflow:

  • EPS - Infinitely scalable, small file sizes, requires specialized software to view
  • TIFF - Fixed resolution, larger files, opens in any image viewer or editor
  • EPS - Editable paths, text, and shapes in vector software
  • TIFF - Pixel-based editing in Photoshop, GIMP, or any raster editor

In our testing, TIFF files converted at 300 DPI produce identical print quality to the original EPS when output at the intended size.

When to Use TIFF Over Other Formats

TIFF is the professional standard for print production, but it's not always the right choice. Consider EPS to PNG for web graphics or EPS to JPG for general sharing.

Choose TIFF When:

  • Commercial printing services specifically request TIFF files
  • Your publishing software requires raster input formats
  • You need lossless compression to preserve every detail
  • Working with CMYK color workflows for offset printing

Choose PNG or JPG When:

  • Uploading graphics to websites or social media
  • File size matters more than maximum quality
  • Recipients need to view images without specialized software

Professional Print Workflows

Many commercial printing environments have transitioned to raster-based RIP (Raster Image Processor) systems that prefer TIFF files over PostScript formats. Converting EPS to TIFF ensures compatibility with:

  • Large-format printing - Banners, posters, trade show graphics
  • Book and magazine publishing - Editorial image workflows
  • Photo labs - Professional print services
  • Archival systems - Long-term digital asset storage

In our testing, print shops that previously rejected EPS files accepted the converted TIFF without issues.

Quality Considerations

When converting from vector to raster, resolution matters. We rasterize at 300 DPI - the professional standard for print production. This means:

  • A 4x6 inch EPS becomes a 1200x1800 pixel TIFF
  • Text and fine details remain crisp at print size
  • Gradients and color transitions convert smoothly

The lossless LZW compression in TIFF preserves every pixel without quality degradation, unlike lossy formats like JPG.

Works in Any Browser

Convert EPS to TIFF directly in your browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • No plugins or downloads required

Processing happens locally - your files never leave your device.

Pro Tip

Before converting, confirm the final print dimensions with your print service. Convert your EPS at the exact output size needed, since you cannot enlarge a TIFF without losing quality. If unsure, convert larger - you can always scale down.

Common Mistake

Converting logos or graphics at screen resolution (72 DPI) instead of print resolution (300 DPI). The result looks fine on screen but prints blurry. Always use 300 DPI for anything that will be printed.

Best For

Submitting vector artwork to commercial printers, photo labs, or publishing systems that require raster TIFF format. Essential when your print vendor's workflow doesn't accept EPS or when you need predictable rasterization.

Not Recommended

Don't convert to TIFF if your print service accepts EPS directly - you'll lose the scalability benefits of vector graphics. Also avoid TIFF for web use; choose PNG or JPG for smaller file sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

We convert at 300 DPI (dots per inch), the industry standard for professional print production. This resolution ensures sharp output for standard print sizes while keeping file sizes manageable.

Yes, typically much larger. EPS stores vector data as mathematical formulas, while TIFF stores every pixel. A 500 KB EPS logo might become a 10-20 MB TIFF at 300 DPI, depending on dimensions.

Yes. TIFF supports transparency through alpha channels. If your EPS has transparent areas, they will be preserved in the converted TIFF file.

TIFF is the professional standard for commercial printing. It supports CMYK color, multiple layers, and lossless compression. PNG is better for web use and simpler workflows.

Many modern print systems use raster-based processing (RIP) that handles TIFF more efficiently than PostScript-based EPS. TIFF also ensures the exact appearance since rasterization happens before submission.

At 300 DPI, text appears sharp and readable at intended print size. However, unlike vector EPS, the rasterized TIFF cannot be enlarged without quality loss. Convert at the final print size.

Yes. Upload multiple EPS files and convert them all to TIFF in one batch. Useful for converting entire logo packages or illustration sets.

Nothing - they're identical. TIFF and TIF are the same format with different file extension lengths. Both work exactly the same way in all software.

Yes. TIFF supports CMYK color space, which is essential for commercial offset printing. Color accuracy is maintained during conversion.

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using local processing. Your files stay on your device and are never uploaded to external servers.
