PS File

File extension .PS
CategoryImage File
DescriptionPS (PostScript) is a dynamic page description language used for creating vector and raster graphics and texts. No applications are used to open PS images, since they are printed directly via printers featuring raster image processors, or any other printer application supporting PostScript. Although the format has been replaced by PDF, many of today’s printers are still set up for PS. Since not all home printers support PS, it is recommended to convert PS to PDF using Acrobat Distiller or any third-party converter.

Our prepress workflow still outputs PS files. This converter handles them cleanly without flattening transparencies or breaking spot colors.

Works on the multi-page PS files I have from an old typesetter. Would be nice to set the output PDF version, otherwise solid.

Convert PS to PDF — Frequently Asked Questions ▼

PostScript (PS) is a page description language developed by Adobe Systems in 1982. A .ps file is a program written in PostScript that instructs a printer or interpreter how to draw every element on a page: text, vector paths, curves, and raster images. PostScript files are generated by Unix/Linux printing systems (CUPS), TeX/LaTeX toolchains, CAD software, and legacy print workflows. Standard PDF readers and browsers cannot open PS files directly.
A PS file is a full PostScript document that may contain multiple pages. An EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file is a single-page, self-contained PostScript fragment with a bounding box declaration, designed to be embedded inside another document. Both formats are handled by the same PostScript interpreter. This converter accepts both .ps and .eps files.
Upload your .ps file to this online converter and download the resulting PDF. You do not need Ghostscript, Acrobat Distiller, or any PostScript-capable software installed locally. For batch conversion of many PS files, the desktop Total PDF Converter provides command-line processing: TotalPDFConverter.exe C:\ps_files C:\pdf_out /ConvertTo pdf /ProcessRecursively
If the PostScript file contains embedded font outlines — the typical case for files from Illustrator, Word, or TeX with 'embed fonts' enabled — the PDF output will include those fonts. If the PS file only references font names (such as Times-Roman or Helvetica), the converter substitutes available system fonts. Files generated with full font embedding produce the best results.
Yes. PostScript is inherently vector-based, and the PDF output preserves all vector paths, curves, and shapes as scalable objects. The resulting PDF can be scaled to any size without pixelation. Raster images embedded in the PS file are transferred at their original resolution.
Yes, in specific professional contexts. Unix/Linux printing via CUPS still generates PostScript as an intermediate format. TeX/LaTeX document systems, commercial print RIP workflows, and legacy scientific and engineering software from the 1990s–2000s produce PS files. Academic preprint servers and some GIS software also generate PostScript output.
The online converter handles one file at a time. The desktop Total PDF Converter processes entire folders of .ps files in a single pass and supports command-line automation for server-side or scripted workflows: TotalPDFConverter.exe C:\ps_files C:\pdf_out /ConvertTo pdf /ProcessRecursively
 

 

Convert PS to PDF Online

PostScript files are page description programs — only PostScript-capable printers and specialized tools like Ghostscript can interpret them. Converting .ps to PDF takes seconds and produces a file that opens in any browser, PDF reader, or mobile device without any special software.

What Is a PS (PostScript) File?

PostScript is Adobe's page description language, first released in 1982. A .ps file is a program written in the PostScript language that instructs a PostScript interpreter — or compatible printer — how to draw every element on a page: text, vector paths, curves, and embedded images. PostScript files are generated by Unix/Linux printing systems (CUPS), TeX/LaTeX toolchains, and legacy engineering and design software. They are not directly viewable in standard PDF readers or web browsers.

What Is PDF?

PDF (Portable Document Format) is the result of running a PostScript program through a PostScript interpreter. Unlike PostScript, PDF is a document container (ISO 32000) rather than a program — its pages can be accessed directly in any order. PDF supports bookmarks, metadata, form fields, and digital signatures. Every modern operating system, browser, and mobile device can display PDF files without installing additional software.
