About the formats
Adobe Illustrator artwork
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format, used by designers for logos, icons and illustrations. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, so they can be rasterised to an image or, where supported, traced back to clean vectors.
Strengths
- Editable, resolution-independent vectors
- Industry standard for professional design
- PDF-compatible under the hood
Limitations
- Needs Illustrator or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing designer artwork — usually converted to PNG, SVG or JPG to share.
EPS vector graphic
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a long-standing vector graphic format used in print, signage and logo workflows. It can hold vector paths or an embedded image and is accepted by most professional design and prepress software.
Strengths
- Trusted across print and prepress
- Scales without quality loss
- Opens in most professional design tools
Limitations
- Not viewable in web browsers
- Dated next to SVG and PDF
- No transparency or animation
Best for: Sending logos and artwork to printers, sign makers and prepress — converted from or to PNG, SVG or PDF.
