Frequently asked questions

What is a .eps file?

A vector graphics format built on the PostScript page-description language, historically common for print and professional design workflows.

Can I edit a .eps file?

Yes — .eps files are commonly editable with software such as Adobe Illustrator.

Does having a .eps extension mean the file is safe?

No single extension can guarantee that. Plain documents are generally low-risk to view. If the format supports macros or embedded scripts, keep them disabled unless you specifically expect and trust them. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
