Suppose I have a density plot which I want to export in EPS format. But when tried using command, Export["/home/1.eps", %263, "EPS"] , the exported image has very large size (~100MB). How can I export the image with a size ~1 MB? Someone kindly help me to solve this problem.

    $\begingroup$ try the option ImageResolution with different settings in Export, e.g. plot = Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Filling -> Axis]; Export["plotir20.eps", plot, ImageResolution -> 20]; Export["plotir100.eps", plot, ImageResolution -> 100];? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you can, try to export to PDF instead. That applies automatic image compression. $\endgroup$

Use the option ImageResolution in Export:

plot = Plot[{Sin[x], Cos[x]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Filling -> Axis];

Compare the two files:

Export["plot20.eps", plot, ImageResolution -> 20] 

Export["plot100.eps", plot, ImageResolution -> 100]
