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.
Download
XnView Classic as well as the 32-bit editions of XnView MP, XnConvert, nConvert, and XnShell require Ghostscript 32-bit to be installed (even on 64-bit operating systems), while all 64-bit versions need Ghostscript 64-bit.

Configuration
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/Editor: 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.
