About:
ps2eps is a command-line utility that converts PostScript files (.ps) into Encapsulated PostScript files (.eps). It calculates the correct bounding box for the resulting EPS, ensuring proper integration into other documents. This tool is essential for preparing graphics for inclusion in LaTeX documents or other publishing workflows.
Key Features:
  • Automatic bounding box calculation
  • Support for compressed PostScript files
  • Command-line interface for scripting
  • Precise output for high-quality print
Use Cases:
  • Preparing figures for inclusion in LaTeX documents
  • Converting print-ready PostScript graphics to web-compatible formats
  • Automating document generation pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Ghostscript (gs) – Ghostscript is a more comprehensive interpreter that can also convert formats, but ps2eps is specialized specifically for accurate bounding box generation.
