Convert eps files to jpg in Linux

To convert from eps to jpg using ghostscript:

gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dJPEGQ=100 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -r300 -sOutputFile=myfile.jpg myfile.eps

This produces huge files. You can trim and resize them in image magick:

mogrify -trim -resize 800x600 myfile.jpg

Very helpful. I was able to convert a file that Imagemagick would not so now I know the problem is not Ghostscript.

  Try ‘convert myoldfile.jpg mynewfile.eps’
  It works with almost any image format.

When the simple “convert myfile.eps myfile.jpg” doesn’t work properly, your solution gives a perfect conversion!!!! You can’t imagine how happy I am. You just solved a huge problem in my thesis presentation!!!!!!
