Ghostscript is open-source software which enables XnView and related programs to load PostScript-based file formats (PS + EPS + AI) as well as PDF for viewing, printing, and converting.
Ghostscript has to be downloaded and installed separately.

By default, Ghostscript loads images with a resolution of 72 dots per inch (DPI). This value can be customized:
- XnView Classic
- Tools → Options... → Read/Write → Read → EPS/PS/AI/PDF
- XnView MP
- Viewer: File → Format settings... → Read → PS/PDF
- XnConvert
- Settings → Load format settings... → PS/PDF
In XnView's shell extension, the “No thumbnail for EPS/PDF” option has to be deactivated.
