EPS is a vector format. It contains PostScript-formatted image data, which is ideal for scaling high-resolution images, and may include bitmap image data and text. EPS files also store a low-resolution embedded bitmap image for previewing the graphic.

PostScript printers and image setters typically use EPS to produce vast, detailed images — such as billboard advertising, large posters, and attention-grabbing marketing collateral.

Adobe developed the EPS format in the late-1980s to become a standard for exchanging images across different platforms and devices. It’s a standard graphics file format intended for placing images or drawings within a PostScript Document. Basically it’s a postscript program saved as a single file.
