How to Compress an EPS File
By Lindsay Howell
EPS is an image file used by many graphical editing programs. If you have an EPS file that you are no longer using, but you want to keep, you can compress it. This will condense the file's size so that it does not take as much space on the computer as it did uncompressed. However, compressed files must be uncompressed to be used.
Step 1
Right-click the EPS file.
Step 2
Click "Send to," then "Compressed (zipped) folder." A compressed folder appears beside the normal EPS file with the text highlighted blue.
Step 3
Type in the name that you want to give the compressed EPS file. Press the "Enter" key to save the name.
Tips
- Once you compress the EPS file, you can delete the original to save space on your hard drive.
