EPS to PPM / PNM

Why convert EPS to PPM?

The main difference: EPS is a vector format, while PPM is a lossless format.

Where PPM works best

PPM is ideal for simple uncompressed images for scientific and developer tools. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for PPM.

What is an EPS file?

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a graphics format from Adobe used for decades in professional printing, logos and stock illustrations. It can hold vector artwork, images and text, ready for high-end printers.

EPS has largely been replaced by PDF and SVG, but print shops, sign makers and older logo packages still use it.

How to open an EPS file

Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop open EPS files; on a Mac, Preview converts them to PDF for viewing. Inkscape (free) imports many EPS files. Converting to PNG, JPG or SVG makes the artwork usable anywhere.

What is a PPM / PNM file?

PPM, PGM, PBM and PNM are the Netpbm formats: deliberately simple, uncompressed image files from the 1980s. They store pixels as plain numbers, which makes them easy for programs to read and write.

You'll mostly meet them in scientific computing, image-processing scripts and developer tools - rarely in everyday use.

How to open a PPM / PNM file

GIMP, IrfanView, XnView and Photoshop open Netpbm files, as do Linux image viewers. Windows Photos and browsers can't, so convert to PNG for a lossless, much smaller copy.
