GetTransfy image tools
Image to PS Converter
Convert common raster images to PostScript directly in your browser. Resize images, choose a page background, convert multiple files, and download standard .ps output without a server-side conversion step.

or choose files from your device to create PS files
Your images stay on your device. Conversion runs locally in your browser.
PS output is rendered as an RGB page, so transparent pixels are flattened onto the selected background.
Creates a PostScript Level 2 page containing the image as an RGB raster. The file includes page dimensions, image dimensions and embedded pixel data.

Convert an image to PS without installing software
Use GetTransfy to convert JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and browser-supported AVIF images to PostScript online. Create downloadable .ps files with resizing, page background and batch conversion controls. The conversion runs locally in your browser.
PostScript, usually saved with the .ps extension, is a page description language for text, graphics and images. It is useful when a print, publishing, RIP or legacy workflow specifically asks for PostScript. This converter creates an image-based PS page, not editable vector paths.
What is a PS or PostScript file?
A PostScript file is a page description that can contain instructions for text, paths and raster images. A PostScript interpreter processes those instructions to produce the final page. That makes PS different from a normal bitmap because it describes how a page should be rendered.
When an image is converted, its pixels remain raster data inside the PS document. Converting JPG or PNG to PS can improve workflow compatibility, but it does not create new detail or editable vector artwork.
Why convert JPG, PNG or WebP to PS?
JPG to PS
JPG is widely used for photographs because compression keeps file sizes small. Converting JPG to PS packages its decoded RGB pixels into a PostScript page, but existing JPEG compression is not reversed.
PNG to PS
PNG is useful for lossless graphics and images with transparency. In this converter, transparent pixels are flattened onto the selected white or black page background because the generated output is an RGB image page rather than an alpha-enabled image format.
WebP, GIF and BMP to PS
WebP, GIF and BMP files are decoded by the browser before their RGB pixels are embedded in the PostScript output. Animated GIF input is treated as a still image, using the browser-decoded frame available to the conversion process.
How to convert an image to PS
- Select your images. Drag files into the converter or choose them from your device. You can add one image or a batch.
- Set the output size. Keep the original dimensions or fit each image inside a maximum width and height. Optional upscaling is available.
- Choose a page background. Use white for a normal print-style page or black when the final composition needs a dark background.
- Convert locally. Your browser decodes the source and creates the PostScript file without a remote conversion API.
- Download the result. Save individual .ps files or download multiple completed files as one ZIP archive.
Tip: PostScript output can become large when the source image has many pixels. Use the smallest dimensions that meet the requirements of the receiving print or production workflow.
PS vs JPG, PNG and WebP
| Format | Best suited to | Image type | Typical workflow focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS | Printing, RIP and page-description workflows | Page description with raster/vector instructions | Production and print output |
| PNG | Lossless graphics and transparent web assets | Raster | Web and interface graphics |
| JPG | Photographs and compact images | Lossy raster | Web delivery and sharing |
| WebP | Modern browser image delivery | Raster | Efficient web assets |
How this Image to PS converter works
The converter uses browser APIs to decode the selected image into pixels, then writes a PostScript program containing page dimensions, image dimensions, an RGB image operator and encoded pixel data. The result is saved as a .ps file.
Image quality, resolution and PS file size
Changing JPG or PNG into PS does not improve the source. If the input is compressed or low resolution, the PS file contains those decoded pixels. For print work, start with the highest-quality original available.
The browser-side PS writer embeds RGB pixel data, so high-resolution images can produce much larger files than JPG or WebP originals. If the destination specifies dimensions, resize before conversion.
Supported formats and practical limits
Inputs include PNG, JPG, JPEG/JFIF, WebP, GIF, BMP and browser-supported AVIF. Each file is limited to 20 MB, a batch is limited to 100 MB, and decoded images are limited to 12 megapixels with a maximum side of 10,000 pixels. These limits are designed to keep browser memory and generated PS output manageable.
SVG, HEIC/HEIF, PSD, PDF and camera RAW formats are not accepted on this page. AVIF support depends on the browser. Animated GIF files are converted as still images.
When should you convert JPG to PS?
Convert JPG to PS when a print service, RIP, publishing application or production workflow specifically requires PostScript. If the destination accepts another format, check its requirements before converting.
Image to PS converter FAQs
Can I convert JPG to PS for free?
Yes. Select a supported JPG, choose your settings and click Convert to PS. The PostScript file is generated locally in your browser.
Can I convert PNG to PS?
Yes. PNG is supported. Transparent pixels are flattened onto the selected white or black background before the RGB image is embedded into the PostScript page.
Does Image to PS convert a photo into vector graphics?
No. The output is a PostScript page containing raster image data. It does not trace photographs into editable vector paths.
Can I convert multiple images to PS?
Yes. Add multiple supported images within the stated file and batch limits. Download each PS file separately or download the completed batch as a ZIP.
Will an animated GIF remain animated?
No. The converter creates a still PostScript page from the browser-decoded image frame.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The core conversion runs locally in your browser, so the source image does not need to be sent to a GetTransfy conversion server.
Why is my PS file larger than the JPG?
JPG uses compression, while this converter embeds RGB pixel data in the PostScript file, so PS output can be larger.
