How to convert EPS to WMF
- Add your .EPS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .WMF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .WMF file.
What to expect
- WMF is a 16-bit legacy format - complex gradients, transparency, and PostScript-specific effects will be lost or approximated during conversion.
- If your target application accepts
.emf, choose EMF (Enhanced Metafile) instead; it is the 32-bit successor with better fidelity and broader support in modern Office. - Some EPS files embed a low-resolution WMF thumbnail as a screen preview - extracting it gives a degraded image, not a proper vector output.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert EPS to WMF for free?
Yes - use the converter above, or install Inkscape (free, open-source) along with Ghostscript, which Inkscape needs to open
.eps files.Will the WMF output be a real vector file?
It contains vector drawing commands rather than pixels, but WMF's command set is limited. Simple flat-color logos convert reliably; complex artwork may look degraded.
What is the difference between WMF and EMF?
WMF is the original 16-bit Windows metafile format from the early Windows era; EMF (Enhanced Metafile) is the 32-bit successor with a broader command set and better support for modern graphics.
Can WMF replace EPS in Microsoft Office?
Yes - Microsoft disabled EPS insertion in Office in 2017 due to security vulnerabilities, and converting to WMF or EMF is a practical workaround for embedding artwork in Word or PowerPoint.
