.. _EPS-PIL:

EPS-PIL Encapsulated Postscript
===============================

Extensions: ``.ps``, ``.eps``

*This is a copy from the Pillow docs.*


PIL identifies EPS files containing image data, and can read files that contain
embedded raster images (ImageData descriptors). If Ghostscript is available,
other EPS files can be read as well. The EPS driver can also write EPS
images. The EPS driver can read EPS images in ``L``, ``LAB``, ``RGB`` and
``CMYK`` mode, but Ghostscript may convert the images to ``RGB`` mode rather
than leaving them in the original color space. The EPS driver can write images
in ``L``, ``RGB`` and ``CMYK`` modes.

If Ghostscript is available, you can call the :py:meth:`~PIL.Image.Image.load`
method with the following parameter to affect how Ghostscript renders the EPS

**scale**
    Affects the scale of the resultant rasterized image. If the EPS suggests
    that the image be rendered at 100px x 100px, setting this parameter to
    2 will make the Ghostscript render a 200px x 200px image instead. The
    relative position of the bounding box is maintained::

        im = Image.open(...)
        im.size #(100,100)
        im.load(scale=2)
        im.size #(200,200)
