EPS is the common abbreviation for Encapsulated PostScript, a restricted version of PostScript meant to be embedded within other documents.

EPS is the common abbreviation for Encapsulated PostScript, a version of PostScript meant to be embedded within other documents. In this end, EPS is less of a programming language (where PostScript is), but more of an image format.

There are several restrictions placed on the EPS file format to make it suitable for embedding. These include:

  • The required use of a BoundingBox comment to describe the image's layout
  • The image must fit on a a single page
  • The file must not use any commands that affect global state (ex the printer)

The last point includes such operators as startjob and exitserver. A more complete list can be found here.
