PNG to EPS Converter That Makes Real Vector Files

Upload a PNG logo or graphic. The AI redraws it as vector shapes, so the EPS prints sharp on a business card, a T-shirt or a banner.

What you get in the EPS file

Vector paths, not pixels in a wrapper

Every colour area of your PNG becomes a filled PostScript path built from lines and Bézier curves. There is no bitmap hidden inside, so the file can be scaled from a stamp to a billboard and a print shop sees clean edges at any size.

Transparency stays transparent

A PNG with a transparent background gives an EPS with no background shape at all, which is what screen printers and sticker makers want. If your PNG has a white box, switch on Transparent background on the result page for free.

Editable in Illustrator and CorelDRAW

Open the EPS in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Affinity Designer or Inkscape and each shape can be selected, recoloured or deleted. You can also change colours before downloading with the colour chips on the result page.

Every format in one download

A clean PNG to EPS download is not only the EPS. The same 10 credits give you SVG, PDF, AI, a 4K PNG and a transparent PNG of the same trace, so the printer, the web designer and the embroidery shop each get the file they ask for.

What a PNG to EPS converter really has to do

A PNG is a raster image: a grid of coloured pixels with an optional transparent background. An EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a print format that describes a drawing with PostScript commands, and it can hold either vector shapes or a plain bitmap. That second option is the catch. Many PNG to EPS converters simply wrap your pixels in an EPS file; the extension changes, but the picture is still pixels and still goes soft or blocky when it is printed large.

To get a vector EPS, the image has to be traced: every edge is found and redrawn as smooth curves and straight lines, and every colour area becomes a filled shape. We do that with an AI vectorizer built for logos and graphics, then write the shapes into a standard EPSF 3.0 file with RGB colours, so what you download is resolution-independent artwork rather than a renamed picture.

PNG to EPS tracing is an interpretation of the image, not a lossless copy. Clean logos, icons, badges and flat illustrations come out almost identical to the original; photos with soft gradients become many small colour patches. The free watermarked preview shows you exactly which case you are in before you spend a credit.

How to convert PNG to EPS in three steps

The watermarked preview is free, so you can check the vector before you spend a credit.

  1. Step 1: Upload the PNG

    Drop a PNG, JPG or WebP into the box above, up to 5 MB; larger files are resized in your browser first. A quick check warns you if the image is small or blurry. Keep the Standard style to preserve every colour of your logo.

  2. Step 2: Check the vector preview

    After about 10 to 20 seconds the traced result appears next to your original, with zoom to inspect edges. Try Clean & simple for fewer colours, recolour shapes, drop a white background for free, or use Retry in HD when a small PNG looks rough.

  3. Step 3: Download the EPS

    Press Download EPS (10 credits) and the EPS saves straight away; SVG, PDF, AI and PNG of the same trace stay available at no extra cost. Send it to the printer or open it in Illustrator to finish the design.

Why designers and print shops use this PNG to EPS converter

A real vector, checked before you pay

Most free converters return an EPS with the PNG embedded inside, and you only find out when the print comes back blurry. Here you see the traced shapes in the preview first, and the download is the vector itself.

Clean curves from AI tracing

Simple tracers follow every pixel, so circles get facets and edges carry the stair steps of the PNG. The AI tracer fits smooth Bézier curves and straight lines, which is why a logo keeps its shape when it is printed a metre wide.

Made for print and merch jobs

In a PNG to EPS job for print, transparent backgrounds stay empty, colours can be reduced for screen printing, and each colour is its own shape for separations. The same unlock also covers PDF for the print shop and a transparent PNG for mockups and online stores.

Private files, deleted after 24 hours

Your PNG and the EPS are stored privately and deleted automatically after 24 hours. Nothing is published or used for training, which matters when the logo belongs to a client or has not launched yet.

PNG to EPS recipes for real jobs

Logo for a print shop

Input
A transparent PNG logo from a website, about 800 px wide.
Setting
Standard style, Retry in HD if edges look soft, then EPS.
Output
A vector EPS the shop can scale for cards, signs and vans.
Watch out
Ask whether they need CMYK; convert it in Illustrator if so.

T-shirt screen print

Input
A three-colour PNG graphic with a transparent background.
Setting
Clean & simple, colour count 3, recolour to the ink colours.
Output
One shape per ink colour, no background, ready to separate.
Watch out
Very fine details may need thickening before printing.

Stock marketplace upload

Input
A flat illustration PNG you drew and own the rights to.
Setting
Standard style, check the preview at full zoom, then EPS.
Output
A vector EPS to open in Illustrator and save as EPS 10.
Watch out
Stock sites review vectors closely; clean stray shapes first.

Large banner or vehicle wrap

Input
A PNG badge that must print a metre or more wide.
Setting
Standard style, EPS plus PDF from the same unlock.
Output
Vector artwork that stays sharp at banner size.
Watch out
Photos inside the design stay photos; only flat art traces.

Tips for a clean EPS from a PNG

  • For PNG to EPS work, start from the largest PNG you have. A logo of 1,000 px or more traces far more cleanly than a 200 px favicon; for small files use Retry in HD (5 extra credits), which upscales before tracing.
  • Use a PNG with a transparent background when you can. It gives an EPS with no box behind the logo, ready for T-shirts, stickers and dark backgrounds.
  • Fewer colours make printing cheaper. For screen printing or vinyl, choose Clean & simple or lower the colour count so each ink is one clean shape.
  • Check thin lines and small text at the final print size. Details thinner than a hair in the PNG may merge or disappear in the trace; enlarge them in the source if they matter.
  • If your printer asks for CMYK, convert the colours in Illustrator or CorelDRAW after download. The EPS uses RGB colours, which most print workflows convert automatically.

What this PNG to EPS page does not do

The EPS uses RGB colours and has no embedded preview thumbnail, so a few layout programs show a grey box on screen even though the file prints correctly. We do not write CMYK, spot colours or Pantone swatches, and we do not save EPS 10 directly; open the file in Illustrator and save as EPS 10 when a stock site asks for it. Text in the PNG becomes vector outlines, not editable type. Photos with gradients can be traced, but they turn into many small colour patches rather than a clean illustration. The watermarked PNG preview is free to download; the clean EPS costs 10 credits, from the $6.99 Starter Pack or a $9.99 monthly plan.
