EPS stands for "Encapsulated Postscript", which is a sophisticated file format for capturing precise image and text information. Because of the mathematical basis for building the format, EPS files are the most reliable method for communicating artwork.

EPS is written in the Postscript language containing high-resolution printing and file exporting information.

Example of EPS image output: [vector - resolution independent]
Example of BMP image output: [bitmapped - resolution dependent]
