    EPS Files?

    I do some small wordpress work on the side to help out friends and craftsmen I know who have beautiful work but total shit websites.

    I'm trying to help out a buddy of mine who got fucked over by a designer who tried to charge him crazy "un-agreed" upon amounts.. and one of those things that he provided (and was overly paid for) was a bullshit logo via a 40mb EPS file.

    My question is this.. a dumb one. Again, this is not my field of expertise. But what program should I use to convert/compress this EPS file to PNG?

    The guy has also left way too much blank white space above and below the logo (not sure why he just didn't go for a transparent png?) but he's supposedly "advanced" in this area.. So on top of converting it I need to crop it.. Perhaps those whom know better could throw me a bone.

    I have personally never dealt with this file type.. nor am I a designer.

    So very much appreciation, apologies for the ignorance.

          Thanks AK,

          but I don't do use Photoshop enough to justify having it installed. Thing is a resource hog. I just don't use it enough to warrant keeping it around. Usually if I want a small logo or graphic done I'll just outsource it.

          But yes.. would be handy to have right about now.. lol.

          Regardless, thanks for the input bud.

              There seems to be a few online sites that can convert EPS files. Have never tried it so can't point you towards a specific one, but google is a good place to start.

                  I just used one and converted it to PNG, no way to control the compression though. It went from 40mb to 500kb.. too much quality loss.. a bit fuzzy when blown up. But workable when small.

                  The image is so huge I can't even crop it in paint.

                      Great tool - https://pixlr.com/editor/

                      Mini online photoshop on the run.. was able to make the white background transparent too.

                      Thanks for the help fellas ;)

                          It is not powerful as photoshop but it is free and more then enough for average joe work,so far i never had need to use photoshop.

                                  Gimp does not directly support Postscript files and you'll have varying degrees of success opening Adobe EPS files with the Ghostscript add on to Gimp

                                      Further to this on Windows from GIMP 2.8.x you no longer need to install Ghostscript to be able to open EPS images, instead the dll is in included with the GIMP-installation. However most Adobe EPS files will not open with this configuration, you need Photoshop or one of the full compiles of Ghostscript on the machine you're working on.
