RAW Image
RAW is an image file format that contains minimally processed data from a digital camera's sensor. These files contain unprocessed or minimally processed data and are not subjected to lossy compression, preserving as much detail as possible. RAW images are most often used by photographers who want maximum control over the post-processing and editing process. The RAW format provides flexibility in adjusting exposure, white balance, and other settings without loss of quality.
EPS Vector Image
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a file format used for storing vector graphics. It's frequently employed for high-resolution printing, graphic design, and logo design. EPS files are excellent for images that need to be scaled without loss of quality, making them ideal for logos, illustrations, and complex layouts. EPS supports PostScript, providing precise control over print output. Though widely used, it's often superseded by newer vector formats like SVG.
Understanding RAW to EPS Conversion
Converting RAW images to EPS format can be beneficial in specific scenarios. This page explains both formats and outlines why you might choose to convert between them.
What is a RAW file?
A RAW file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera, image scanner, or motion picture film scanner. It's essentially a digital negative. RAW files offer maximum control over image editing but require specialized software to open and process.
- Preserves all the image data captured by the sensor.
- Allows for non-destructive editing, meaning the original data remains untouched.
What is an EPS file?
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector graphics file format often used for storing illustrations, logos, and layouts. It describes images as a set of instructions that can be scaled without loss of quality. However, EPS files can also contain rasterized (pixel-based) images.
- Supports both vector and raster graphics.
- Ideal for logos and illustrations that need to be scaled to different sizes.
- Widely compatible with various design and publishing software.
Why Convert RAW to EPS?
The primary reason to convert RAW to EPS is to embed a rasterized (pixel-based) version of your RAW image within a vector-based file for specific design or publishing workflows where EPS is required.
- To incorporate a high-resolution photo into a vector-based design in applications that primarily support EPS.
- For compatibility with older software or printing workflows that require EPS format.
- To archive a flattened, print-ready version of your RAW image.
Keep in mind that converting a RAW image to EPS will typically involve rasterizing the image, meaning you'll lose some of the editing flexibility that RAW files offer. Ensure your RAW image is processed to your satisfaction before conversion.
How to Convert RAW to EPS Online

Frequently Asked Questions
Will converting RAW to EPS reduce image quality?
Yes, converting RAW to EPS typically involves rasterizing the image, which can result in some quality loss compared to the original RAW file. However, if you use a high enough resolution setting during conversion, the loss should be minimal.
Can I convert multiple RAW files to EPS at once?
Currently, Convertr.org supports converting one RAW file to EPS at a time. For batch conversions, you may need to use a desktop software solution.
What software can open EPS files?
EPS files can be opened and edited with software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, and other vector graphics editors. You can also view EPS files with Ghostscript and some image viewers.
