Animation and Interactivity

[muskanislam25]

EPS reigns supreme in the print industry. It supports CMYK color profiles and is compatible with most professional printing processes and RIP (Raster Image Processor) software. If you're creating graphics for brochures, billboards, or books, EPS may still be a preferred format.

SVG is not as widely supported in traditional printing workflows. While it’s getting better, especially with advanced PDF and print-to-file conversions, it hasn’t yet replaced EPS in large-scale print production.


SVG supports animations and interactive elements. You can animate SVG graphics using CSS or JavaScript to create hover effects, transitions, or real-time data visualizations.

EPS lacks support for animation entirely. It’s a static format with no native support for interactivity or dynamic behavior.

Advantage: SVG

7. Software Compatibility
SVG is widely supported in modern design raster to vector conversion service software and browsers, but some legacy applications still have limited SVG functionality.

EPS enjoys broader support in older design and publishing programs, particularly in the Adobe ecosystem, making it a safer bet for compatibility with traditional workflows.

Advantage: EPS (for legacy software)

When Should You Use SVG?
When designing web graphics like logos, icons, and charts.

For interactive and animated visuals on websites.

If you need a lightweight, scalable, and editable file format.

When working in a modern development environment or CMS.

When Should You Use EPS?
For high-resolution print projects such as brochures, banners, or signage.

If your workflow involves older software or traditional publishing tools.

When using CMYK color profiles that are essential in print production.

When you need a file that’s embedded into other professional design software.

Conclusion: Is SVG Better Than EPS?
Yes, SVG is generally better than EPS for most modern applications, especially for web design, UI/UX, app development, and data visualization. Its scalability, small file size, browser compatibility, and ease of editing make it a preferred format in digital-first environments.

However, EPS still has its place in professional printing and legacy workflows where SVG’s advantages are less useful. So rather than saying one is outright "better" than the other, it’s more accurate to say that SVG is better for digital use, while EPS is better for print.
