Convert FAX to EPSI

The FAX file extension, short for "facsimile", is primarily associated with digital fax documents. These files are typically saved in TIFF format and are used to store images of documents sent or received via fax software. Historically, fax technology allowed the transmission of scanned printed material over telephone networks, a practice that became widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, FAX files facilitate the digital handling of these documents, enabling easy archiving and viewing with compatible image viewers.

EPSI, standing for Encapsulated PostScript Interchange, is a file extension used primarily in the printing and graphic design industries. It stores PostScript data along with a low-resolution preview in bitmap format, facilitating the visualization of graphic content in layout applications without needing to interpret the complex PostScript code. Introduced in the 1980s by Adobe Systems, EPSI files serve as a bridge between different software applications, ensuring consistent and high-quality output in various publishing workflows. Their efficiency and adaptability have made them a standard for exchange of graphic data in professional environments.
