How to convert WMF to EPS
- Add your .WMF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .EPS in a few seconds.
- Download your new .EPS file.
What to expect
- Some GDI drawing commands in WMF have no direct PostScript equivalent; text with embedded fonts or complex clipping paths may render differently in the EPS output.
- If the WMF contains embedded bitmaps (DIB records), those sections will appear as raster data in the EPS - the file is still valid but no longer purely vector.
- WMF uses 16-bit coordinates, so very large or highly detailed drawings may show slight rounding compared to the source.
Frequently asked questions
Will the EPS be a vector file or rasterized?
It depends on the source. A typical WMF built from GDI drawing commands produces a vector EPS. If the WMF embeds a bitmap, that section will be raster in the output.
Should I use EPS or PDF for LaTeX?
For
pdflatex, PDF is simpler and better supported - both Inkscape and LibreOffice export PDF directly. Use EPS only if your workflow uses classic latex + dvips.My file has a `.wmz` extension - can I still convert it?
A
.wmz is a GZIP-compressed WMF. Extract it with 7-Zip or gunzip to get a plain .wmf, then convert as normal.Is EPS a good long-term format?
EPS is a legacy format; PDF and SVG have broader support in modern tools. Convert to EPS only when a specific downstream workflow requires it.
