What is EPS?

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is the powerful image format. It supports vector graphics and bitmaps. The EPS vector graphics can be modified in Illustrator, CorelDraw, and even input in Photoshop. Since it can output the high-definition images in various platforms, it is favored by those who are engaged in printing and publishing. However, the EPS file is usually large and the file can be merely printed with the PostScript-supported printer. The other kinds of printers cannot print the original-definition images, or they cannot work out the printed images.
