FAX to PS conversion is the process of transforming a fax image file—typically a TIFF-based Group 3 or Group 4 fax image—into a PostScript (PS) page-description file that describes the page's vector and bitmap content for printing or further processing. This conversion preserves the visual layout of the fax while wrapping it in PostScript commands so it can be rendered, printed, or included in publishing workflows that require PS input.

Drag your .FAX file from your computer or use the browse function.
Confirm .ps as the selected destination format.
Click "Convert" and download your converted .PS file once ready.
FAX files typically use the MIME type image/fax and are encoded using Group 3 or Group 4 fax codecs. PS files use the MIME type application/postscript and contain instructions for rendering text and graphics on a page. The conversion process translates raster fax images into scalable PostScript commands suitable for printing and graphic design.
The PS (.PS) format is commonly used for other. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like FAX.
While specific technical details aren't available here, PS files generally serve the purpose of storing other effectively within their domain.

FAX files are primarily used for transmitting scanned documents as raster images, often limited in editing capabilities. In contrast, PS files are a page description language that supports complex graphics and text, making them more versatile for design and print workflows. While FAX files focus on communication, PS files focus on high-quality output and flexibility.
Keep fax sources under 250–500 KB per page for fastest uploads; very large multipage fax TIFFs slow conversion and rendering.
To preserve sharp text and thin lines from 1-bit fax images, choose bilevel preservation or lossless Flate compression rather than converting to low-bit grayscale.
For batch conversion, group similar page sizes and resolutions together to avoid per-file scaling artifacts and to speed processing.
Expect limited fidelity for halftones and photographic content: classic fax formats are 1-bit bilevel and cannot reproduce continuous-tone images without dithering.

If you need editable vector output, note that conversion embeds raster images in PS rather than vectorizing fax bitmaps; use OCR or vector-tracing tools separately if text editing is required.
