Why convert SVG to EPS?

Converting SVG to EPS provides a print-friendly vector format widely supported in desktop publishing and commercial printing workflows.

Will the interactive features in SVG be preserved in EPS?

No, interactive scripting, animations, and CSS effects in SVG are lost during conversion to EPS.

Is EPS suitable for web graphics?

EPS is generally not recommended for web use; SVG or PDF formats are better for web portability and features.

Create an archival copy of scalable vector artwork from SVG as an EPS file for future use

Common Use Cases

Supplying logos and illustrations created in SVG to print shops requiring EPS format
Embedding high-resolution vector artwork in page-layout documents like InDesign or QuarkXPress
Archiving scalable vector graphics in EPS for reproduction across various output sizes and devices

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to ensure your vector artwork remains scalable and print-friendly
Be aware that interactive SVG features such as scripting and animation will not be preserved
Check your EPS output in intended publishing software for consistent rendering
Flatten or rasterize complex SVG filters and transparency effects before conversion to avoid appearance changes
Avoid embedding complex photographic images in SVG prior to conversion, as these may lose quality

Limitations

Interactive elements and animations in SVG do not convert to EPS and will be lost
Advanced SVG filters or live transparency often need to be flattened, potentially changing appearance
EPS files contain executable PostScript code which may render inconsistently across different interpreters
EPS format is less suitable for web use compared to SVG and PDF
Complex raster images embedded in SVG may become rasterized and reduce editability upon conversion
