When using the ImageMagick's convert, it is a good practice to use the eps2 format. This make the resulting eps file much smaller because it uses the JPEG compression algorithm (DCT).

So, to convert a.jpg to a.eps do:

convert a.jpg eps2:a.eps

This of course, can be used in a shell script, to convert multiple JPG to EPS.
