What to expect

  • Only single-page .ps files convert reliably; for multi-page PostScript, first run ps2pdf file.ps to produce a PDF, then open individual pages in Illustrator.
  • A genuinely native .ai file requires Adobe Illustrator; converters based on Inkscape produce an SVG-structured file with an .ai extension that may not round-trip perfectly in all Illustrator versions.
  • Complex procedural PostScript - loops or conditionals that generate content - may render incorrectly or produce unexpected output.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert a multi-page PS file to AI?
Not directly - Illustrator and most converters handle only the first page. Convert the whole file to PDF first with ps2pdf file.ps, then open individual pages in Illustrator.
Does the free converter produce a real .ai file?
It produces a valid .ai file that opens in Illustrator, but it uses an Inkscape pipeline internally and may not preserve every native Illustrator feature.
Can Inkscape open and edit PS files?
Yes, if Ghostscript is installed, Inkscape can open single-page .ps files - but it saves to .svg, not .ai.
Is there a free way to get a genuine Adobe Illustrator file?
No - the .ai format is proprietary to Adobe, so only Illustrator itself can produce a fully native .ai document.
