What are PS files and how to open them

Are you having problems opening a PS file or are you simply curious about its contents? We're here to explain the properties of these files and provide you with software that can open or handle your PS files.

What is a PS file?

A .PS file is a PostScript Document file.

Files that contain the .ps file extension are image files that have been saved in the Adobe PostScript language. These files can contain images, text, or a combination thereof.

The PS images can be printed directly by a raster image processor without actually being opened in the application that it was designed in. This allows users to transmit image files to one another, even if the recipient does not have the actual application that the original file was created in. The PostScript file format has become less popular and is being replaced by the PDF file format, which was also created by Adobe.
