What is an EPS file?
An .EPS file is an Encapsulated PostScript file.

The EPS file format supports transparency, linked files, and thumbnail imaging of documents. It also allows certain types of files to be opened up across multiple operating systems, ensuring that a user can open the file even if they are not running on the same operating system or with the same computer application as the individual who created the file initially.
