What's the difference between EPS and WMF?
expand_more
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is best for exchanging vector artwork between design applications and professional print workflows. WMF (Windows Metafile) is best for embedding vector clipart and diagrams in microsoft office documents. Key tradeoff: EPS's advantage is postscript-based vector format understood by virtually every professional print rip and pre-press system, while WMF's advantage is native vector format for microsoft office — word, excel, and powerpoint render wmf graphics without any external dependencies.
Pro Tips for EPS to WMF Conversion
WMF preserves full quality, so your output file will be as good as the EPS source — no need to worry about compression artifacts
Keep a backup of your original EPS file — while our conversion is reliable, having the source is always recommended
WMF works especially well for: processing vector graphics exported from older windows applications
Did you know? WMF files are essentially recorded Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) calls — playing back a WMF literally re-executes the same drawing commands the original application used, which is why WMF had security vulnerabilities (CVE-2005-4560) that allowed code execution.
