EPS to AI Converter — Get a Native Illustrator File
Someone asked for the artwork "in AI format" and all you have is an EPS? Upload it here and download a native .ai file — every path still editable, no Illustrator licence needed to do the conversion.
Both formats store real vector curves, so nothing is traced: the geometry transfers exactly.

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
EPS vs AI — when the difference matters
EPS is a 1990s exchange format built around PostScript printing. It is still everywhere — stock sites, sign shops, cutting software — because almost everything can read it. AI is Illustrator's own working format. The artwork can be identical; what differs is what happens when someone opens and edits it.
Clients and agencies ask for AI
Brand guidelines and agency briefs often specify .ai source files. Converting gets you there without redrawing anything.
Cleaner editing in Illustrator
EPS files exported from CorelDRAW or older tools often open as nested clipped groups. A converted AI file is easier to work with.
No Illustrator required
The conversion runs in your browser on Mac or Windows — useful when you need to deliver an AI file but work in another program.
Going the other way? Use AI to EPS. Need it in CorelDRAW instead? Use EPS to CDR.
Frequently asked questions
Opening works, but you are still holding an EPS: saving keeps the old format and its limits, and EPS files from CorelDRAW or older software often open as stacks of clipped groups. Converting gives you a native .ai file to send to a client, an agency or a print shop that asks for AI specifically — and you can do it without owning Illustrator.
Yes. EPS and AI both store vector curves, so nothing is traced or redrawn. Every path, fill and stroke stays individually editable.
Live text converts as text, but displays correctly only where the font is installed. Text that was outlined in the EPS stays as shapes — usually the safer choice for print.
Yes. CMYK and spot colour values transfer as they are, so a print-ready EPS stays print-ready.
Raster images inside the EPS stay raster in the AI file at their original resolution. Only vector content becomes vector paths.
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.
