FAX to PS Converter

FAX format is a simple black and white (bi-level) image format primarily used for storing and transmitting fax documents. It typically uses Group 3 or Group 4 compression methods defined by the ITU-T standards.

This format is optimized specifically for text and line art documents, using efficient compression algorithms that work well with sharp transitions between black and white areas.

FAX files are commonly associated with traditional fax machines, fax modems, and fax server software that transmit documents via telephone lines or over IP networks.

Modern fax technology often converts these files to more widely supported formats like PDF or TIFF for easier viewing and archiving outside of dedicated fax systems.

FAX files can be opened with document viewing applications like Adobe Acrobat Reader (if embedded in PDF) or specialized fax viewer software.

Many image viewing programs including IrfanView, XnView, and GIMP can open FAX files with the appropriate plugins or converters.

For Windows users, the built-in Windows Fax and Scan utility can view and manage FAX format files.

Online fax services often provide web interfaces or mobile apps that can display FAX format documents without requiring specialized software.

To convert FAX files to more widely used formats like PDF, PNG, or JPEG, use our online converter that specializes in handling fax document formats.

For batch conversion of multiple FAX files, desktop utilities like IrfanView or XnView provide efficient options with customizable output settings.

When converting FAX documents to other formats, you may want to apply image enhancement options like deskewing, noise removal, or contrast adjustment to improve readability.

For archival purposes, converting FAX files to PDF often provides the best balance of quality, file size, and long-term accessibility across different platforms.

PS (PostScript) is a page description language developed by Adobe that describes the appearance of text, graphics, and images on a printed page. It was revolutionary in desktop publishing and printing industries.

Unlike EPS, which is a single graphic, PS files can contain multiple pages and are primarily used for printing documents rather than for embedding graphics into other documents.

PostScript files contain programming instructions that describe precisely how text and graphics should appear on a page, enabling consistent reproduction across different printers and devices.

PS files can be viewed and printed using software like Adobe Acrobat Distiller, Ghostscript with GSview, or PostScript viewers.

For macOS users, Preview can open many PostScript files, rendering them for on-screen viewing.

Some professional printing software packages also support direct import and processing of PostScript files.

To convert PS files to more widely supported formats like PDF, use our online converter that maintains all text, graphics, and layout elements from the original PostScript file.

Converting PS to PDF is the most common conversion path, as PDF preserves all PostScript elements while adding features like compression and web compatibility.

For image-based outputs like PNG or JPG, our converter will rasterize the PostScript content at your specified resolution.
