How to Convert EPS to JPG using Python

Q. What is .EPS file?

Ans. EPS stands for (Encapsulated PostScript). A standard graphics file format created by Adobe in 1992.
It is more like a postscript program that instructs images and drawings to be placed on a document. EPS has been considered a good choice of format for vector graphic illustrations intended for high-resolution or large-scale printing and commonly used for printing to PostScript printers and imagesetters. EPS files are typically created and edited in illustration programs such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. EPS is still in use, but it is essentially an outdated file format that no longer evolves. For exchanging logos or drawings, it has been replaced by the native file formats of Adobe applications.

Q. Is EPS file better?

Ans. SVG files are able to be displayed by most modern web browsers, and so are well suited to digital applications, while EPS files are better for printing-intended drawings. ... However, an advantage of EPS files is the encapsulated preview, which means they can be viewed even on devices that can't read the whole file.

You can convert EPS file into Illustrator by opening the EPS file and Exporting it as JPEG / JPG.
