Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ images format converter

which converter should I use to convert JPG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF into EPS?
where can I find it (download, or is it just have to be include)?

Hi,

I would not convert files in bitmap formats like jpg, gif, bmp into eps. I would use pdflatex instead and include jpg and png directly. gif and bmp could be converted to jpg and png easily by a lot of graphics programs and tools. I'm using GIMP and Inkscape.
If you should need eps files you could convert them to pdf format using epstopdf and include them too.

I agree with the first two sentences of Stefan. A simple and interesting alternative for conversion could be ImageMagick. One line on the command prompt does the trick.

Code: Select all

convert image.tif image.png

Best regards

The images (tiff format) which didn't work (receiving error) do not work after converting to eps and png (using star office) as well. these images do not open in image magic. in the other hand, images of all formats, which were created by MATLAB always work.
how this problem can be fixed, in order to use graphics originated from MS office and similar?
