What is an EPI file

EPI files mostly belong to EclipsePackager2000 by Green Eclipse. The EPI format is the successor of the Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. The extension stands for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange.

Use: The main purpose of the EPI format file is to describe an illustration as a single page PostScript (a dynamically typed, programming language) program developed by Adobe. It can contain any combination of text, graphics or images.
Features: The EPI format consists of a complete archive or a part of a split archive. It is a standard format developed for the import and export of PostScript language files. EPI files represent the images in the PostScript document as a series of hexadecimal strings as PostScript comments.
Format Conventions: The an Encapsulated PostScript Interchange document must conform to the norms of Adobe Document Structuring Conventions (DSC). As a result, a header comment section and the bounding box comment section (that specifies the bounds of the Illustration) are required.
Other uses: An EPI file may also contain a compressed archive created by EclipsePackager2000, a program used for splitting and compressing files developed by Green Eclipse. Green Eclipse Intelligent Packing Technology uses this format to minimize data loss.
