Understanding EPS and ICO Formats

Learn about the source and target file formats to understand what happens during conversion.

Source Format

Encapsulated PostScript

application/postscript

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector graphics format based on the PostScript page description language, capable of containing vector paths, text, and embedded raster images. It includes a bounding box definition and optional low-resolution preview for display in applications that cannot interpret PostScript. EPS has been an industry standard in professional print production for decades.

Advantages

  • Industry-standard vector format for professional print production
  • Can contain both vector and raster elements in a single file
  • Precise control over color separations and print output

Limitations

  • Legacy format being superseded by PDF for print workflows
  • No native transparency support in the original EPS specification
  • Complex PostScript code that is difficult to edit directly

Common Uses

  • Print-ready logos and vector artwork for commercial printing
  • Stock vector graphics distribution and licensing
  • Legacy print production and prepress workflows

Target Format

ICO Image

image/x-icon

ICO is an image format used to store icons in Microsoft Windows and for website favicons. A single ICO file can contain multiple images at different sizes and color depths, allowing the operating system or browser to select the most appropriate version. ICO files support sizes from 16x16 up to 256x256 pixels with up to 32-bit color depth including alpha transparency.

Advantages

  • Can store multiple resolutions and color depths in a single file
  • Universal support as favicons in all web browsers
  • Native format for Windows application and system icons

Limitations

  • Limited to relatively small image dimensions (max 256x256)
  • Larger file sizes than PNG when embedding multiple resolutions
  • Primarily Windows-centric with less relevance on other platforms

Common Uses

  • Website favicons displayed in browser tabs and bookmarks
  • Windows application and shortcut icons
  • Desktop and toolbar icons in Windows environments
