Advantages of CFG over PS

There are strong reasons to convert PS to CFG:

Hardware acceleration: Configuration File benefits from hardware-accelerated decoding on most modern devices, ensuring smooth playback and rendering.

Web optimization: Configuration File is better suited for web delivery, loading faster and using less bandwidth than PostScript File.

Streaming support: Configuration File is well-suited for streaming and progressive loading, making it ideal for web and mobile delivery.

Platform requirements: Many platforms and services specifically require Configuration File format, making this conversion essential for submissions and uploads.

Standardization: Converting your PostScript File library to Configuration File creates a unified format across all your document files, simplifying management.

PS to CFG: Quality Comparison

When converting from PostScript File to Configuration File, the conversion is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved exactly as in the original. PostScript File retains all original data. Converting to Configuration File adds no further quality degradation since it uses lossless compression. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format. For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's PostScript File to Configuration File pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets data industry standards.

Extracting structured data from PostScript File documents to Configuration File data format involves parsing the document content and organizing it into a structured representation. Tabular data, lists, and key-value pairs are identified and converted. This is useful for data migration, analysis, and programmatic processing of document content.

PS to CFG FAQ

What is PS format?
PostScript File is Adobe page description language for precise print output. It is primarily used for professional printing, pre-press workflows and legacy print production. Page description language, not a data format
Will the conversion strip my EXIF or metadata?
Xonvert preserves metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3, etc.) when the target CFG format supports it. You can optionally strip metadata in the settings for smaller, cleaner output files.
Does the conversion preserve metadata?
Xonvert preserves compatible metadata fields when converting between formats. Some format-specific metadata may not carry over if the target format doesn't support it.
Can I share the converted CFG file directly?
Yes. After conversion, you can download the CFG file and share it via email, messaging apps, cloud storage, or any other method you prefer.
Does converting PS to CFG change the resolution?
Resolution is not applicable for document files. All content data transfers at full fidelity.
Do I need to install any software?
No installation required. The converter runs entirely in your web browser. No plugins, extensions or desktop apps needed.
How do I know the conversion was successful?
Xonvert validates the output file and shows a success confirmation. You can preview the result before downloading. If any issue occurs, a clear error message is displayed.
