What is an EPP file?

EPP files mostly belong to Easy-PhotoPrint EX by Canon. Files with EPP filename extension are usually raster images stored in the proprietary file format used by Easy-PhotoPrint EX, a photo editing software developed by Canon. In addition to the standard image data stored in an EPP file, the file may also contain editing information such as red eye correction and brightness. Elmedia, a multimedia player for Mac operating system stores playlists in EPP files. The playlist itself is a list of tracks stored in a manner that allows Elmedia to play select tracks in succession. Projects created with EditPad (a word processor) are also stored in EPP files. Embedded template files used in Puppet and Python programming also have EPP files.
