What is EPF file?
The .EPF file extension is the format of the Encapsulated PostScript (EPSF) image file. It was developed by Adobe as a way to provide high quality, vector-based graphics for all computer applications. The EPSF format is used extensively in the printing and publishing industry, as well as on the web. This is a powerful file that allows for flexibility and manipulation of images, providing enhanced graphics capabilities for both personal and professional applications. [ ⏩ ] EPF file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from EPF to AI?
To successfully convert the EPF file to AI, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.EPF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case AI (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than AI).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. EPF to AI. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting EPF files to AI files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension AI, while before this step we had the EPF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new AI file, or not.
