The EPS file format is used for vector-based graphics and other types of images, and it's a fairly common format, supported by such popular programs as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, and QuarkXPress. Still, not all image-viewing programs support EPS, and if you're not a graphic designer you may not have a program that can handle it. EPS Viewer is a basic program that lets you view and convert EPS files. It's pretty bare-bones, but it will do the trick if you have an EPS file and no other way to open it.
The program's interface is quite plain and intuitive. As soon as the program is launched, it opens a dialog box that lets you navigate to the desired EPS files. Once the image is open, you can zoom in and out, and rotate or resize the image. Files can be saved in JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, or TIFF format, which makes the conversion process quite easy. And that's really the extent of what EPS Viewer does. It has no menus, no other features, and no Help file. If you're desperate for a way to open and view EPS files, this program isn't a bad choice. Just be aware that you're not going to be able to do much besides open EPS images and convert them to other file formats.
EPS Viewer installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

"Do NOT install this!"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
Does let you view eps files. But, amazingly they are blurry even though they are vector files.
Cons
Hijacks Google Chrome. Installs new toolbar, changes your home page and load settings for Chrome, and who knows what else I haven't found yet. Very unethical. I can't believe the editors at CNET gave this thing an approval rating. I usually trust CNET quite a lot, and I am disappointed to have been misled like this.
Summary
Don't get it.

"SPAM- Cnet should remove this"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros

Cons
Loaded with browser plugins and apps that install automatically.
Summary
SPAM

"Works just fine"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
Simple eps viewer does just what it says.
Cons
None so far
Summary
All the extra add junk and so forth at the start of installing just hit don't accept and it won't add a bunch of useless junk you don't want or need.

"Appalling waste of time"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
None whatsoever.
Cons
Does not work.
Summary
Does not load vector EPS files. All you will get is an incomprehensible amalgam of blurry shapes and colors. Utterly useless.
-
"Do not recommend - requires load of unwanted programs"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
I have no pros to list as the cons outweigh any option. Try using MS Word or other word processor to view eps files by inserting them as a photo.
Cons
When you download this program it requires you to accept the addition of other programs with no option to skip those programs. It changes your Internet search options and settings. I do not recommend the program.
Summary
highly recommend against using.

"Tries to change search settings - DON'T DOWNLOAD"

doesn't matter because of the con
Cons
Program tries to change search settings..luckily google has a little program which prevents it. But this is illegitimate sneaky crap software
Summary
Sketchy bad software. Avoid

"Works perfectly!"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
I have Windows 7, and it worked perfectly - not a hitch! And free is nice.
Cons
None - it works as advertised
-
"Does what you ask, but not that Intuitive."
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
The program did open and convert the picture just fine.
Cons
It wasn't until I read some of the reviews that I realized you could enter resolution numbers in the box. Initially the 4.4MB picture opened at a resolution of 142x142. It looked ridiculous! Since there is no menu or help button, I initially thought the program was a dud. Once I realized that you could change the resolution numbers, things went off without a hitch!
Summary
Just know that you can set the resolution in the boxes at the top left and this program works fine.

"doesnt wory"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
these might possibly exist, but can never know if the program doesnt even open.
Cons
i open, then it closes by itself.
Summary
useless.

"Darn near useless"
Version: EPS viewer 3.2
Pros
It got 2 stars because it loaded every EPS file that I threw at it, and is a small and lightweight application.
Cons
Loads EPS files in very low resolution then scales them up in bitmap mode. Jaggies are "corrected" with blurring. Absolutely horrible.
Summary
This is a piece of crap. Don't bother until it either loads images in vector mode, or gives you a choice of resolutions.
