Hallo all,
Does anyone know a good (i.e. free but still good) software to convert eps to png?
I need it to use beamer in Miktex for latex=> PDF
Thanks!

eps 2 png
You better use epstopdf to convert that EPS file to PDF. The vector based character of the image will be kept then.
The epstopdf package allows to do that conversion "on the fly". In this case you have to activate --shell-escape (TeX Live) or --enable-write18 (MiKTeX) to allow the compiler the external call of epstopdf.
This is best method for conversion in the case that the format of the image is EPS originated. Perhaps you can tell a little bit about creation and processing of the image. The above described process is only useful for original EPS format, but not for images converted to EPS.
Best regards

Hi Muble,
if you don't need pdflatex you could choose the output profile LaTeX => PS => PDF instead. This way you could include eps pictures directly, it should work with the beamer class too. Though in general I prefer epstopdf mentioned by Thorsten.

Re: eps 2 png
When I was having problems with eps images in my documents, Stefan had suggested that I use eps2pdf. It has worked great. You might give that a try.
