XWD to EPS Converter

XWD (X Window Dump) is a screen capture format native to the X Window System used on Unix and Linux platforms. It captures and stores exact pixel-for-pixel copies of windows or screen regions from an X display.

The format includes a header with information about the display characteristics followed by the raw pixel data. XWD preserves the exact visual appearance of the captured screen, including color depth, pixel format, and visual class information.

XWD was primarily used for documentation, debugging, and sharing screenshots in Unix/Linux environments. It's commonly created using the 'xwd' command-line utility that comes with the X Window System.

XWD files can be viewed directly in X Window environments using the 'xwud' (X Window Utility - Display) command-line tool that is part of the standard X utilities.

Graphics applications like GIMP and ImageMagick have built-in support for opening XWD files on various platforms, not just Unix/Linux systems.

Some comprehensive image viewers like XnView and IrfanView can display XWD files with their extended format support or additional plugins.

To convert XWD files to modern formats like PNG, JPEG, or WebP, our specialized X Window converter preserves the exact pixel data and display characteristics of your original screenshots.

For system administrators and documentation authors working with legacy Unix/Linux materials, our batch conversion tools can process multiple XWD screenshots efficiently for inclusion in modern documentation.

When converting XWD files captured at unusual color depths or with special visual classes, our service handles the color space transformation appropriately to ensure accurate reproduction across different platforms.

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.
