What is a EPSF file?
EPSF is a graphics and text format developed in 1989 by Adobe for MS-DOS and Macintosh platforms. EPSF files can store bitmap and vector graphics, as well as text data. EPSF is a seldom used extension and has been in part replaced by its shorter version, EPS.
EPSF files can be opened with vector and raster graphics editors or word processors such as Microsoft Word, included in Office productivity software suite. Using these tools, EPSF files can be converted to more popular formats, for example, PDF or JPG.

How to open EPSF files
If you cannot open the EPSF file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports EPSF among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the EPSF file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the EPSF format files
The inability to open and operate the EPSF file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Encapsulated PostScript Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a EPSF file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the EPSF file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the EPSF from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the EPSF format
- The EPSF file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the EPSF file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a EPSF file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the EPSF file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the EPSF file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the EPSF file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.EPSF) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected EPSF file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the EPSF file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. EPSF) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
