EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)

EPS, or Encapsulated PostScript, is a vector file format commonly used for logos. It is one of the oldest professional graphics formats, developed by Adobe in 1987, and remains widely supported across professional printing and pre-press workflows. An EPS file can contain vector artwork, text, and embedded raster images, all encoded in the PostScript page description language. Because it is vector-based, an EPS file can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. EPS files are particularly valued in commercial printing environments, where they integrate reliably with professional typesetting and pre-press software. For logo delivery, EPS is typically included in the final logo package alongside AI (Adobe Illustrator native), PDF, SVG, PNG, and JPEG files. One limitation of EPS is that transparency is not reliably supported in older versions of the format, which can cause issues with logos that include transparent backgrounds or semi-transparent elements.
