Inkscape gives an error when trying to open a file:įailed to load the requested file xxx.eps Amongst many others, we support PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP and HEIC. But I was quickly able to create my image and exporting it to an eps file. It took a little time to get used to zoom mode being enabled when I wasn’t expecting it and selecting elements. The basic tutorial on the tutorials page gave me everything I needed to get started. Inkscape allows creating/editing eps files (and svg files and other formats.) It works on most operating systems.

Given that I edit documents infrequently, I don’t want to pay for a subscription. 3.17.5 Copying and pasting in Inkscape creates pixellated images instead of copying the vector objects 3.17.6 Inkscape fails to launch on OS X 10.8 and later 3.17.6.1 Apple no longer includes X11/Xquartz with OS X 3.17.6. Instead Adobe offers a subscription for $21/month.
