AI to EPS Converter — Without Adobe Illustrator
You have an .ai file, and the print shop, sign cutter or older design program on the other end wants EPS. Upload it here and download an EPS with the vector paths, colours and layout intact — no Illustrator licence required.
Vectorization Settings
Controls how your image is converted to vectors
Better source = better vectors
Upscales your image before vectorization for sharper, cleaner results. Takes a few extra minutes.
Image Type
Output Detail
Auto = smooth curves with fewer nodes. High = more detail, more nodes.
Color Count
Fewer colors = fewer objects. Best for logos. Auto lets the engine decide.
Remove Background
Auto-detect and remove background color
Black & White Mode
Ideal for stamps, signatures, ink drawings
Who still asks for EPS — and why
AI is Illustrator's working format and changes with every Illustrator release. EPS has barely changed in decades, which is exactly why production equipment keeps asking for it.
Print shops and RIPs
Many RIPs and imposition tools take EPS or PDF only. EPS is the traditional "send us the vector" format.
Vinyl cutters and engravers
Sign-cutting, laser and embroidery software commonly imports EPS but not modern AI files.
Older design software
Older versions of CorelDRAW, Inkscape and others read EPS reliably where a recent .ai file fails to open.
Going the other way? Use EPS to AI. Sending to a CorelDRAW user? AI to CDR gives them a file they can open directly.
Frequently asked questions
Yes — that is what this is for. Upload the .ai file, convert, and download the EPS. Nothing needs to be installed, and it works on Mac, Windows and phones.
EPS is the format nearly every RIP, sign-cutting program, embroidery package and older design application can open. Many of them cannot read modern .ai files at all, so EPS is the safe hand-off format.
Yes. Both formats are vector, so paths, fills and strokes transfer exactly and stay editable in whatever program opens the EPS.
EPS is a single-page format. If your AI file has several artboards, save the one you need as its own file (or delete the others) before converting, so you know exactly which artwork ends up in the EPS.
For print hand-off, outline your text in the original file first if you can. Live text in the EPS still needs the font on the receiving machine, otherwise it is substituted.
Yes. 10 conversions a day at up to 150 MB per file, no account needed. Pro removes the daily limit and raises the cap to 500 MB.
