What is a DXF file?
The Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) is a vector image format developed by Autodesk to enable data interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD software. Unlike the closed binary DWG format, DXF is primarily specified as an ASCII text-based representation (though binary variants exist), structured using tagged data elements known as group codes and values. This open architecture allows distinct modeling systems to parse geometric data without requiring the proprietary decoding libraries associated with DWG.
How to open a DXF file
DXF files function as a universal standard in computer-aided design and can be opened by virtually all CAD and CNC applications, including AutoCAD, Blender, SolidWorks, and Fusion 360. For vector graphic editing, Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW provide native import support. Because the format is text-based, the raw code structure can be inspected using standard text editors such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text.

What is an EPS file?
The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format is a legacy vector graphics standard developed by Adobe in the late 1980s. It contains PostScript page description language commands describing 2D vector graphics, bitmap images, and text. Conforming to the Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), an EPS file includes a BoundingBox comment that defines the rectangular area of the graphic. It is strictly a single-page format intended to be embedded within other PostScript documents, often containing a low-resolution TIFF or WMF preview for onscreen display.
How to open an EPS file
While native OS support for EPS is deprecated in modern Windows and macOS (Preview no longer supports it as of macOS Monterey), professional vector editors are required for manipulation. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW are the industry standards for editing EPS syntax. For viewing or rasterizing without expensive software, users can utilize Ghostscript, Inkscape (open source), or EPS Viewer. Converting to PDF is often recommended for broader accessibility.
