About PostScript
PostScript (PS) is Adobe's page description language from 1984: a program that a printer or interpreter runs to draw each page.
Print workflows and the output of older Unix and LaTeX tools.

About EPS
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) is an Adobe format from the 1980s that wraps a PostScript drawing so it can be placed inside other documents.
Logos and artwork for print, and older clip-art libraries.
Opening an EPS file needs a PostScript interpreter, so most image viewers cannot display it; this service reads EPS files with Ghostscript and converts them to PDF or SVG.
Why convert artwork to EPS? Print shops and plotters still ask for it: Encapsulated PostScript is the interchange format of professional prepress.
