Why convert EPS to PNG?

Converting EPS to PNG provides a widely supported, lossless raster image that supports transparency and is suitable for web and UI uses where EPS files cannot be rendered directly.

Does converting EPS to PNG preserve vector scalability?

No, conversion rasterizes the vector image into fixed pixels, so the PNG will not scale without loss of quality.

Are PNG files suitable for professional print workflows?

PNG lacks native CMYK support, making it less ideal for print-prepress processes that require CMYK separations.

Tips & Best Practices

Select an appropriate output resolution to maintain image quality after rasterization
Validate and sanitize EPS files before conversion to mitigate security risks
Use PNG for applications requiring transparency and broad device compatibility
Be aware that complex EPS effects may flatten or alter appearance in PNG
Note that PNG files may be larger than lossy formats for photographic images

Limitations

Rasterizing EPS results in fixed-resolution images that do not scale without quality loss
EPS transparency and effects may render inconsistently or be flattened in PNG output
EPS contains executable code which can pose security risks if not carefully handled
PNG lacks native CMYK support, making it less suitable for print-prepress workflows
PNG files can be larger than lossy alternatives and may not support full 16-bit color in all viewers
