EPS Preview

EPS Preview format (also called DOS EPS Binary) is a variant of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format that is extended to also contain an image in TIFF, WMF, PICT, or EPSI (a portable variant of EPS) format.

It is formulated as a simple binary container format, but is generally considered to be an actual EPS file.

Format
Files have a 32-byte header, followed by the embedded EPS file, and the "preview" image file.

Identification
Files begin with signature bytes.

Software
Refer to Encapsulated PostScript. Beware of viewers that display only the preview image, and not the full-quality EPS image.
