Bitmap image format uses pixels to save an image. A bitmap cannot afford high level magnification because the curves and lines of its patterns will be serrated and unclear. Vector method is different from bitmap, which uses control points and paths to describe and display an image. Bitmap to PS Vector Converter is a useful tool specially designed for convert bitmap to PS (PostScript) file.

You can download the application via this link for free. Bitmap to PS Vector Converter only supports MS-DOS interface. You can directly run it after unpack the downloaded package into your disk.

Before running the application, you have to open a MS-DOS command prompt window. Press and hold button "Window" on your keyboard, and press "R", then you will see a dialog box "Run". Input "cmd" in the dialog, press [OK], then you have opened a MS-DOS command prompt window. For easy use, you can change the current path of the MS-DOS command prompt window to the one where you stored the application.

The following command line is a basic usage for converting a bitmap (BMP) image to PS file.
>Raster2Vector.exe raster.bmp vector.ps .

This command line calls program "Raster2Vector.exe" to convert "raster.bmp" to "vector.ps" from raster to vector, bitmap to PS.
The following two figures show the different display effect between raster bitmap image and vector PS image.

The first figure shows that curves of a raster bitmap image will be serrated after the image is magnified.

In the next figure, you can see that the curves of a vector PS image can keep smooth and clear even when the image is magnified multiple times.

This application is designed for MS-DOS command use, and it can be called via a script for batch process. If you want to run this application on a server, please buy a server license. This application also supports being redistributed in a third-party application with a developer license.
