Can I convert SVG to PostScript on iPhone, Android, Mac or Windows?

Yes. ConvertPixels works in Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox on any device, so you can convert SVG to PostScript on your phone or computer without installing an app.

Is there a free SVG to PostScript converter with no sign-up?

Yes, this one. Converting SVG to PostScript on ConvertPixels is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily cap. Convert up to 30 files per batch, each up to 50 MB.

Will my PostScript look like the original image?

Converting to vector traces your pixels into shapes. Logos, icons, signatures, line drawings and text come out clean; photos turn into a simplified, poster-style illustration. Pick black and white or up to 16 colors in the options.

Does PostScript keep the transparent background of my SVG?

No - PostScript has no transparency, so see-through areas get a solid fill. That's white unless you pick another background color in the options.

Can I convert an animated SVG to PostScript?

PostScript only stores still images, so you'll get the first frame. To keep the animation, convert to GIF or WebP instead.

Can I batch convert SVG to PostScript?

Yes. Add up to 30 SVG files and convert them in one batch. You can even choose a different output format for individual files, then download them separately or together as a ZIP.

Is it safe to upload SVG files to ConvertPixels?

Yes. Uploads use an encrypted connection and are processed automatically - nobody views them. Your originals are deleted straight after conversion and the results within an hour, or instantly if you click "Delete from server now".

SVG to PostScript

Why convert SVG to PostScript?

SVG and PostScript are both vector formats. PostScript is the usual choice for print jobs and printer workflows. SVG can have a transparent background, PostScript can't.

Where PostScript works best

PostScript is ideal for print jobs and printer workflows. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for PostScript.

What is an SVG file?

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) describes an image as shapes, lines and curves in XML code rather than a grid of pixels. That means an SVG stays perfectly sharp at any size - from a favicon to a billboard - and is often tiny in file size.

SVG is the go-to format for logos, icons and illustrations on the web, and for cut files used by Cricut, Silhouette and laser cutters. It's not suited to photographs.

How to open an SVG file

Any web browser displays SVG files. To edit one, use Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator, Figma or Affinity Designer. Cricut Design Space and Silhouette Studio import SVG directly. To get a regular image, convert SVG to PNG.

Extension: .svg
Type: Vector (XML)
Transparency: Yes
Best for: Logos, icons, cut files

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.

Extension: .ps
