The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "PostScript Document" formats to PS without using software like Ghostscript or a similar tool.
A .PS file is primarily a PostScript document, a page description language created by Adobe Systems to communicate graphic layouts and text to printers. Alternatively, it can be a proprietary MPEG-based video stream generated by dashcams or CCTV DVR systems like Hikvision or iCatch. For documents, .PS is considered an obsolete, legacy format. It lacks native web browser support and requires specialized, outdated software or interpreters like Ghostscript to view on modern operating systems. Editing these files is notoriously difficult, as they consist of raw programming code meant for rendering hardware, not human users. Similarly, .PS video files are proprietary multiplexed streams that standard media players will refuse to play without specific codecs provided by the camera manufacturer. To overcome these limitations and make the data usable, you must convert the file. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software. For document archiving and easy sharing, convert .PS to PDF. For web or print graphics, convert to SVG or JPG. If you are dealing with a CCTV video, converting it to standard MP4 ensures compatibility across all modern media players and mobile devices.

The PS Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PS converter.
