GIF to EPS converter for Windows? by Esteis2006-11-19 12:55:59
  use graphics program? by rz2005-06-16 03:19:33
    Another option is... by Red_Wolf 2005-06-16 03:33:18
... to use wmf2eps.

All you need to do is copy the file to the clipboard, start wmf2eps, and paste the file from the clipboard. Then you can convert it to ps or eps at will.

As rz already pointed out, eps is a vector based file format, so converting a gif to eps will result in an explosion of file size (as every single pixel of the GIF file will have to be converted into a vector). So, to be avoided if possible (sometimes it is of course not possible, e.g. when working with LaTeX which only accepts EPS as an input format...)

Hope that helps.
