SIXEL to EPS Converter

SIXEL is a bitmap graphics format that was originally developed for DEC terminals. It encodes images as a series of six-bit character sequences, where each bit represents a pixel in a six-pixel vertical column.

SIXEL allows terminals to display raster graphics alongside text, making it useful for embedding images in terminal output. Modern terminal emulators like xterm and mintty support SIXEL graphics.

Despite being developed decades ago, SIXEL has seen renewed interest in recent years for displaying graphics in text-based environments and command-line interfaces.

SIXEL files can be viewed in terminal emulators that support the format, such as xterm with SIXEL extensions, mintty, mlterm, and wezterm.

For conversion or viewing outside of terminals, specialized tools like libsixel, img2sixel, or GraphicsMagick with SIXEL support can be used.

Some image manipulation programs like ImageMagick can also convert SIXEL to other formats for viewing.

To convert SIXEL files to more common image formats like PNG or JPEG, use tools like libsixel's sixel2png or ImageMagick's convert command.

For converting other image formats to SIXEL, use img2sixel from the libsixel package or the convert utility from ImageMagick with SIXEL output enabled.

Our online converter supports SIXEL conversions, allowing you to easily transform these terminal graphics to modern formats for wider compatibility.

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is a vector image format used in professional printing and design. It can contain both vector and bitmap components, making it versatile for complex graphics.

EPS files are self-contained, structured PostScript documents with a preview image that can be placed into other documents. They're commonly used for logos, illustrations, and other graphics that need to be scaled without losing quality.

The format supports both RGB and CMYK color models, making it suitable for both web and print design workflows.

EPS files can be opened and edited using professional graphic design software such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Affinity Designer.

For viewing only, you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on macOS, or specialized EPS viewers.

Many image editing programs like Adobe Photoshop can also import EPS files, though they may rasterize vector content upon import.

To convert EPS files to other formats like PDF, SVG, PNG, or JPG, use our online image converter. Simply upload your EPS file, select the desired output format, and start the conversion.

For best results when converting vector EPS files to raster formats, specify a high resolution to maintain image quality. Vector formats like SVG will preserve the scalability of EPS content.

Professional design software like Adobe Illustrator provides additional conversion options with fine control over output quality and characteristics.
