Convert PS Files on Mac

PS (PostScript) is a document format using the .ps extension. Consul converts PS files to 43 other formats, and 55 formats to PS. Rename a file's extension in Finder and Consul handles the conversion automatically.

What is PS?

PostScript is a page-description language Adobe released in 1984 to drive laser printers and phototypesetters. A .ps file is effectively a program that describes a printed page, and the language became the foundation of desktop publishing and the direct ancestor of PDF.

PS was developed by Adobe.

Opening PS files on a Mac

macOS has no built-in way to open PS files. Consul converts them to a format your Mac can open.

Preview stopped opening PostScript and EPS files in macOS Ventura, and macOS Sonoma removed the system's PostScript-to-PDF conversion entirely (the pstopdf tool and CoreGraphics' CGPSConverter), so current macOS has no built-in way to open a .ps file.
