Which file do I use?

Use .PNG for newsletters, flyers, websites and PowerPoint presentation. A .PNG is an image that has no image loss when originally saved and can have a transparent background. This makes it ideal for the web.

Use .EPS for banners, flags, large posters, coffee mugs, T-shirts, large signage, tradeshow displays and exhibits, vehicle graphics, water bottles, frisbees, bags. The .EPS format is primarily for large-scale printing and print houses. Most print designers and printing companies are familiar with the .EPS extension. This is also called a vector graphic.
