Step 1: Launch Adobe Photoshop
Launch the software, then click “File” and “New,” then enter the document’s parameters and click “OK.” Alternatively, you can directly open the EPS file by clicking on “File” then “Open” where a new window will allow you to select which file you want to be displayed on your artboard.

Step 2: Rasterize EPS Format
After you opened the file, a new window will open up. These details will allow you to check the width, height, and resolution of the file. You can also select the color mode of the image and set it to grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and Lab color, with CMYK as the default. Leave the other settings as is. Click “OK” once you are satisfied.

Step 4: Delete Color Background
This step is where you will then be deleting the consistent background of your EPS file. As for the example, you can click on the “Delete” key on your keyboard.

Step 5: Save the File
Select “File” from the top menu bar where the drop-down option will present you with the “Save As” option. Click “Save As,” then choose “TIFF” or “PNG” from the format drop-down menu to save the image as a transparent file. Click “OK” once you are satisfied with the settings.
