EPS to DXF
Turn an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) drawing into a DXF you can open in any CAD or CNC program — or export it straight to SVG, PDF or an image. Everything happens in your browser; your file is never uploaded.
What this reads — an honest answer
EPS is PostScript, so this reads the drawing's path geometry directly with our own parser — no Ghostscript, nothing installed on a server. It understands the two dialects real tools actually write: standard PostScript (moveto, lineto, curveto, arc) and Adobe Illustrator's shorthand operators. It also applies the file's coordinate transforms, so a drawing that was scaled or flipped still lands with the right dimensions. What won't come through: raster images embedded inside the EPS, live editable type (only text that was converted to outlines survives), and unusual producer-specific operators. For those, re-export the artwork as SVG or PDF from the source app and use our SVG or AI tools, which read those with full fidelity.
Which formats can I export to?
DXF (the CAD/CNC standard), plus SVG, EPS, PDF, and PNG/JPEG/WebP/BMP/TIFF — pick any of them from the Convert to menu. Choose DXF for CNC or laser cutting, SVG or PDF to keep editing, or an image to quickly share a preview.
My EPS came out empty or missing shapes — why?
EPS is a full programming language, and every app writes it a little differently. This reader covers the common Illustrator and standard-PostScript path styles, but it can't run arbitrary PostScript or decode embedded photos. If your file is image-based or from an unusual producer, export it as SVG or PDF instead and convert that.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole conversion runs inside your browser — the EPS is read, parsed and turned into DXF on your own device, and nothing is sent to a server or stored. That's the same privacy-first approach as every drawing tool here.
From artwork to a file you can cut
EPS is a print format, and cutting is not printing — which is why the conversion is only half the job. A print file has no notion of what should be cut through, what should only be scored, and what is there purely to be looked at. It has no reliable notion of size either, because artwork is routinely placed and scaled in a layout rather than drawn at final size. So convert first, then check two things in your CAD or laser software before anything goes to a machine: the overall dimensions, and whether the outlines are actually closed.
Check the scale first
Open the DXF and measure something you know — the width of the whole piece, or a hole you specified. If it comes out ten times or a tenth of what you expect, the EPS was written in points rather than millimetres (72 points to the inch), and one uniform scale fixes the entire drawing. Do this before anything else: every later decision, from material to cutting speed, depends on the size being right.
Text, gradients and photographs
Only text that was converted to outlines survives, because live type is a reference to a font rather than geometry — if your logo carries lettering, convert it to outlines in the source application before you export. Gradients, transparency and embedded photographs have no meaning in a cutting file and are simply not carried across. When a drawing arrives incomplete, the fastest fix is usually to re-export it from the original application as SVG or PDF: we read both of those with more fidelity than EPS allows.
