It's also true that the default Windows apps like Photos and Paint do not support EPS files. They primarily handle raster images (like JPG, PNG, BMP) and don't natively allow for viewing or editing vector files like EPS.

There are several online tools that allow you to upload a PNG file and convert it to EPS format. Just keep in mind the potential privacy issues with uploading your images to third-party sites.
Programs like Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (which is free) can open PNG files and allow you to export them as EPS. These applications provide more robust features for handling vector graphics.
