Drop an SVG above, or paste its code, and it comes back as an EPS file with the same shapes, colors and strokes. The page shows your SVG beside exactly what the EPS will hold, so you see what changes before downloading. Type the width the drawing should have and download. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
What carries over
- Fills, each in its own color, with the SVG's fill rule (nonzero or even-odd), so holes in letters and rings stay holes.
- Strokes, with their color, width, line joins and line caps, scaled with the drawing.
- Curves as Bézier curves, the same kind PostScript draws, so they stay sharp at any size. Arcs, circles and ellipses become curves that stay within a hair of the original.
- Transforms, groups and reused symbols, applied the way a browser draws the SVG.
Size and units
Type the width in millimeters or inches; the height follows the SVG's proportions and shows under the field. The starting width is the SVG's own size: the physical width it states, or its width in pixels at 96 to the inch. The EPS's bounding box is the SVG's canvas at exactly that size, in points (72 to the inch), so a layout program places it at the width you chose, and it can still be scaled there without losing sharpness.
What changes
EPS is an older, print-oriented format, and a few SVG features don't carry over:
- Text is left out until it is converted to paths in a design app; the page counts what it skipped.
- Gradients become their first color, and transparency isn't kept: EPS shapes are solid.
- Embedded pictures, clipping and masks aren't included.
Logos, icons and illustrations made of filled shapes and lines convert cleanly. The bounding box is the SVG's own canvas at the width you choose, so the EPS lands at that size in a layout.
EPS or SVG?
Both are vector formats. SVG is the web's format and what browsers, cutting machines and most design apps take; EPS is a PostScript drawing that print shops, sign makers and older layout workflows still ask for. Keep the SVG, and send the EPS where it's requested. More on the two formats, with sources, is on the PNG to EPS page, which also traces pictures (PNG and JPG) into EPS. For laser and CNC work, SVG to DXF writes the same shapes as a DXF.
Frequently asked questions
Is the EPS a real vector file?
Yes. The SVG's shapes are written as PostScript paths with their curves, fills and strokes, and no embedded bitmap, so the EPS scales to any size without blurring.
Are colors and strokes kept?
Yes. Each shape keeps its fill color and its fill rule, and each stroke keeps its color, width, line joins and caps. Gradients become their first color, and transparency isn't kept: EPS shapes are solid.
What happens to text?
Text is left out, and the page says how many text elements it skipped. Convert the text to paths in a design app first (Object to Path in Inkscape, Create Outlines in Illustrator), and it converts like any shape.
Which programs open the EPS?
Adobe Illustrator opens and places EPS files, and Inkscape imports them when Ghostscript is installed. The file has no preview picture inside, so a program that can't read PostScript shows an empty box where the EPS is placed, though it still prints.
Is my SVG uploaded?
No. The SVG is read inside your browser tab, so it never leaves your device. There is no signup or watermark.
