AOL ART (ART) is a proprietary, heavily compressed raster image format that America Online used to speed up image loading over dial-up connections. It stores a single still image and trades visible quality for very small file sizes. When AOL members browsed the web, images were re-compressed into ART by AOL's proxy servers — a feature branded TurboWeb and later AOL TopSpeed — which users could turn off. The format is now obsolete.
Support has almost entirely disappeared: Internet Explorer removed ART rendering in a June 2006 security update, and mainstream viewers such as XnView and IrfanView cannot read AOL ART. The one reliable option is Graphic Workshop Professional (Windows) with its ART plugin installed.
Keep in mind that the .art extension is reused by unrelated programs, including Delcam/Autodesk ArtCAM, so a file that refuses to open may simply not be an AOL image. (ImageMagick's "ART" format is also a different format.) If your ART file is an AOL image, convert it to a modern format with our ART to JPG tool.

PostScript (PS) is a page description language created by Adobe that tells a printer exactly how to draw each page — the position of every character, line, and image — rather than storing the page as a picture. Because the description is resolution-independent, the same file prints crisply on a cheap office printer or a professional typesetter. PostScript revolutionised desktop publishing in the 1980s and is the direct ancestor of PDF.
The standard tool is Ghostscript, a PostScript interpreter, usually paired with a viewer such as GSview or the built-in viewers on Linux.
On Linux, Evince and Okular open PS directly. macOS dropped native PostScript support after Mojave, so Ghostscript is needed there too. Since almost nothing outside printing workflows reads PS any more, converting it is usually the quickest solution — try our PS to PDF tool.
