Convert FH11 to EPS

Understanding FH11 and EPS file formats

The FH11 file format is associated with Adobe FreeHand, a vector graphics editor that was widely used for creating illustrations and layouts. FH11 files contain vector images, text, and other design elements. However, Adobe discontinued FreeHand in 2007, making it necessary for users to convert FH11 files to more widely supported formats.

The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file format is a graphics file format used to describe vector-based images. EPS files are widely used in the graphics industry for high-quality image printing and are compatible with many graphic design applications. Converting FH11 files to EPS allows for greater flexibility and compatibility with modern design software.
